Dickensheets Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 97 OBW 130,000 miles. Pass side window is stuck down. I pulled the inner door panel and it looks like the regulator is a pain to get out. The motor however is fairly accessible with a super long screwdriver. Has anyone ever sourced a motor only (no regulator) and what are the chances this will fix my window? Feedback appreciated.

Rooster2 Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Before you start yanking the regulator out of the door try this........... substitute a window switch from another window. It might be a bad or just dirty contact inside the switch. I suspect this because you got the window to go down, but pushing the switch the other direction won't raise the window. If the regulator/winder motor was bad, the motor would not have lowered the window in the first place. Subie makes good regulators. On the three Leggies that I have owned, I have not had to replace a regulator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster2 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Finding a broken wire sure beats yanking out the regulator. Like was said, always look for the simplist solutions first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
