this is the biggest pain i ever had to do when i had my bronco... but its simple, just take the plate off of the inside of the tailgate (tailgate could be up or down, down is easier), find the motor, unplug it and remove the couple bolts that are holding it in. careful not to cut yourself there isn't much room to work. the hardest part is getting it back in. good luck!
i used a hammer
how do remove the tailgate's window motor on a toyota 4runner 1997 ?
To remove the tailgate motor from an '89 Ford Bronco, first, ensure the tailgate is fully closed. Disconnect the battery to prevent any electrical issues. Next, remove the interior panel from the tailgate by unscrewing or unclipping it, then locate the motor, which is typically secured with bolts. Finally, disconnect the wiring harness and unbolt the motor to remove it from the tailgate.
It is located in the rear tailgate. Remove the inner panel and the support bracket on the right hand side to see it.
Try lubing all moving parts then.....good luck using the motor
If it is the same as my 83, which it probably is, or at least very similar, remove the inside panel and right near the center towards the top end of the tailgate (top being where window comes out) should be the motor. Mine was only connected with 3 5/16" bolts. Take those off, then use a little muscle to wrestle the motor loose.
To fix the rear window on a 1995 Eddie Bauer Bronco, first, check the window motor and switch for functionality. If the motor is faulty, it may need to be replaced. Inspect the window track for any obstructions or damage; clean or repair as necessary. If the wiring is damaged, repair or replace it to ensure proper operation.
As far as I know there is no way to get the window down other than removing the motor itself. The motor is what holds the window up when closed. Make sure its the motor that has failed. There is also a switch located on the drivers side latch inside the gate that is designed to not allow the window to open when the gate is down. If that switch fails it the window motor will not function at all. I used a wire jumper to bypass the switch and solved my problem.

From the fuse panel, hot in accy or run, comes a light blue with black wire, to the tailgate window switch in the dash. From this switch, two black wires go to ground, and a pink with light green and a pink with light blue wire go forward to the tailgate key switch. From the fuse panel, hot at all times, comes a black with white wire, also to the tailgate key switch. From the tailgate key switch comes a yellow with red wire directly to the tailgate window motor. Also from the tailgate key switch comes a tan with black wire, to a tailgate latch switch, and from there a red with yellow wire to the tailgate window motor. That latch switch functions to keep the window motor from working if the gate is not completely closed, and from what I hear, with wear and tear over time, begins to malfunction just from getting out of reach. If your window quit working, start there. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how those switches work together in the same circuit without a drawing, so I must recommend the website of helmdirect, for the electrical and troubleshooting manual I'm referring to, which I bought there, for the same vehicle. Best $25 I've spent.
To fix the rear power window on your 1988 Ford Bronco, first check the fuse related to the power windows; if it’s blown, replace it. Next, inspect the wiring and window motor for any visible damage or disconnections. If the motor is not functioning, you may need to replace it; remove the door panel to access it. Lastly, ensure that the switch is working properly by testing it with a multimeter or replacing it if necessary.
