Window Motor

The first step to change the rear quarter window actuator begins with removing the rear interior trim panel to access the actuator followed by disconnecting its electrical connection. The actuator arm needs to be disconnected from the window hinge screw before uninstalling the actuator retaining nuts in order to extract the actuator from the vehicle. The window bracket should be fastened to its window frame by a 2.0 mm (0.08 in) diameter pin. After installing the actuator on its mounting studs you should tighten the retaining nuts to 7 n.m (2 lb in). Connect the electrical connector . Before changing an old actuator users need to properly mount the window latch bracket to the window frame through pinning. Set the bellcrank at a 45-degree angle with respect to the vertical edge on the window side sheet metal and operate the body side power window switches (1 or 2) located at the overhead console to accomplish this position. Tighten the screw between the window bracket and actuator arm until reaching a 45-degree angle of the bellcrank arm while keeping it parallel to the sheet metal flange at 5 n.m (44 lb in). The last step includes taking out the window bracket from the frame pin before checking the window operation and installing the rear interior trim panel.

The first step to replace front door window motors requires users to lift the window then uninstall any door trim panels. The first step requires removal of the front door water deflector followed by removal of the door window. The first step is to detach the wiring harness from the door Window Regulator motor followed by removing the 4 securing bolts while keeping the cable gear inside its housing to prevent failure. Test the door Window Regulator motor while moving it away from the cable housing with attention to its position before removing it from the door regulator assembly. The new door Window Regulator motor insertion into the cable housing begins with a delicate wiggling motion before bolting it with 4 torques to 5 n.m (44 lb in). Attach the door window and connect the electrical harness to the door Window Regulator motor. Check the window operation by connecting the wire connector to the switch but later disconnect the wiring harness from the switch. Place the front door water deflector and suitably install the side front door trim panel. To verify proper folding top functionality it is important to execute the window cycle learn procedure.

The body side window needs 5 cm (2 in) masking tape applied at its rear edge to the quarter panel margin for stabilization before quarter window motor servicing. The rear interior trim panel needs removal to expose the actuator before disconnecting the electrical connections. Begin by unscrewing the device which joins the window mount to its arm then extract the actuator retaining nuts. After that remove the actuator. Install the actuator by placing it over the mounting studs and tighten retaining nuts to 7 N.m (2 lb in). Secure the screw which links the window mount to the actuator arm by tightening it to 5 N.m (44 lb in). The electrical connection can be reconnected after reinstalling the interior trim panel and finally removing the masking tape from the side window edge.

The first step to replacing the rear quarter window actuator is removing the interior trim panel behind it then detaching the electrical connection. Start by unscrewing the window hinge screw that supports the actuator arm before disconnecting it. Then remove the retaining nuts from the actuator and proceed to take it out. You should use a 2.0 mm (0.08 in) pin to fasten the window bracket to the window frame. After mounting the actuator on its studs apply retaining nuts then tighten them to 7 n.m (2 lb in). Connect the electrical connector . The window latch bracket requires pinning to the window frame before adjusting an existing actuator. The bellcrank should be placed at a 45-degree angle against the vertical edge of the window side sheet metal while using body side power window switches at the overhead console to achieve this position. Fasten the screw between the window bracket and actuator arm when the bellcrank arm shows a 45-degree alignment parallel to the sheet metal flange while the screw gets tightened to 5 n.m (44 lb in). Seal the operation of the body side window by taking off the bracket connected to the window frame pin then repair the rear interior trim panel.

Start by removing the electrical connector and the rear interior trim panel which hides the actuator before proceeding to remove the actuator. To remove the actuator start by taking off the actuator retaining nuts and removing the actuator arm from the window hinge screw followed by taking out the actuator from the vehicle. A 2.0 mm (0.08 in) pin should be used to fasten the window bracket to the window frame. Position the actuator over the mounting studs before installing retaining nuts which need to be tightened to 7 n.m (2 lb in). Connect the electrical connector . The factory sets a proper timing on new actuators during their manufacturing stage. The window latch bracket of an old actuator requires attachment to the window frame using a 2.0 mm (0.08 in) pin while the bellcrank needs a 45-degree placement in relation to the vertical edge of the window side sheet metal. The body side power window switches (1 or 2) located at the overhead console can be used to set the bellcrank to its correct angular position. The bellcrank arm requires alignment at a 45-degree position that runs parallel to the sheet metal flange until the actuator arm screw can be installed. Fasten and tighten the actuator arm screw at 5 n.m (44 lb in) when attaching the window bracket to the actuator arm. After verifying the body side window function complete the installation by putting back the rear interior trim panel.

Take out the front door water deflector and then remove the door window.

Take out the bolts that secure the window regulator motor to the window regulator.
