How do you get the front drivers side power window up when the window motor is bad on a 1994 ford explorer limited?

Answer 1

To get the window up you must drill out the three rivets that hold the regulator to the door and remove the nut at the top right of the regulator. Once they have been removed you can lift the window up from the bottom of the door. Be carefull not to let the spring in the regulator wnwind on it's own, it could cause injury or damage the window. Good luck. On my door there were no rivets just three bolts holding the Regulator motor and gear assembly in place. The bolts were recessed in the door the socket was 8mm. I removed the bolts and with a gentle pull the Assembly came loose into my hand. I then rested the unit in a safe spot to remove the connector near the bottom of the door. I pulled the unit clear and reconnected it for a test since the window would not go up or down ( that's why we are here... lol :). It seemed to work out of the door just fine but I disassembled it and low and behold the armature had Sooo Much wear it's a wonder it worked at all!! So the rule is it quits working........ REPLACE IT!! Assembly is just the reverse. So good luck to you and be some one's Hero! Subjohn :)
