It's not a cable on EA82 wagon/sedans. it is a geared armature. basically it is the frame and gearing that the motor bolts to. If you pull the door panel, you can see it inside the door. it is right behind the area that the manual crank would be at if it had manual windows.

its basically the same assembly that you would call the "crank" of a non power window... non power windows only HAVE "regulators." The crank handle attaches to a gear exposed on the outside of the door, and that gear on the inside of the door, directly drives the regulator assembly in the exact same way the power window motor does.

 

In other words, its that little hunk of gears and springs that sits in there to help offest the weight of the actual moving assembly.
