How do you replace electric window motor on driver side 1990 1500 suburban?

Answer 1

CURRENTLY I AMIN THE PROCESS OF PERFORMING THIS TASK. THE MOST DIFFICULT POORTION WAS TO ACTUALLY REMOVE THE DOOR PANEL WHICH HAS MULTIPLE PHILLIPS HEAD SCREWS. THERE ARE ALSO ANCHOR PANEL PLASTIC CLIPS AT EACH END OF THE PANEL ABOUT HALF WAY UP. OF COURSE THE LOCK KNOB AND INTERIOR DOOR OPENING MECHANISM SHOULD BE REMOVED. A LITTLE TRICK IS TO PROPERLY FIT THE PHILLIP HEAD TO THE SCREW AS MANY STYLES OF PHILLIPS HEADS ARE AVAILABLE . A LITTLE WD-40 AND A LIGHT TAP FROM A HAMMER HELPS TO SEAT THE SREW AND HEADS. THE PANEL IS PULLED OUT FROM THE BOTTOM ABOUT 3 INCHES TO REVEAL THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS BEHIND THE PANEL. THERE ARE KNOBS HOLDING THE CONNECTORS TO THE SWITCHES. TURN AND PULL AT THE SAME TIME. THEN GENTLY PRY THE CONNECTOR AT DIFFERENT ANGLES AWAY FROM THE SWITCHES. AFTER THAT TE PANEL NEEDS TO BE PULLED AND JIGGLED UP AT THE SAME TIME PAYING ATTENTION THAT NOTHIN IS STILL CONNECTED . THERE ARE ALSO TAR PAPER SHIELDS THAT NEED TO BE SAVED. ONCE YOU HAVE THWE PANEL AND INTERIOR DEW WIPE STRIP OFF A WEDGE NEEDS TO BE FASHIONED OF THE USE OF A RUBBER TYPE DOOR STOP AT EACH END OF THE WINDOW WILL HOLD IT IN WORKING POSITION. AT THIS TIME A SMALL MIRROR WILL HELP IN LOCATING THE REGULATOR ANCHORS AND INSIDE TRACK RAIL ANCHORS WHICH ALSO HAVE TO BE REMOVED. I TOOKE THE MOTOR OFF THE REGULATOR INSIDE THE DOOR WHICH INVOLVED THE REMOVAL OF JUST THE ANCHOR SCREWS AND HARNESS CONNECTOR. CAUTION; WINDOW REGULATORS ARE SPING LOADED . HINT WEAR LEATHER WORK GLOVES TO AVOID INJURY. AFTER REMOVING THE MOTOR THE REGULATOR SHOULD BE REMOVED AND CHECKED FOR FUNCTION AND WEAR. TO RMOVE THE REGULATOR SLIVE IT FORWARD AND BACK AT THE HALFWAY POSITION OF TRAVEL THIS CAN BE ESTABLISHED BY THE USE OF MINI-TYPE VISEGRIPS AND OR WIRE TIES (SIP STRIPS). INSTALLATION IS IN REVEARSE OF THIS ORDER. GOOD LUCK AND MAY YOU HAVE NO SKINED KNUCKLES. DOORS AND REGULATORS ARE STAMPED UNITS WITH SHARP EDGES. APEAIO12
