The motor in the Passenger side door went out on my 88. I have a new one but wanted to know does it matter where the window is when I replace the motor? right now its stuck about 4 inches down.

or can i just pull and replace?

Thanks for the help.

I don't havr your truck, but you could look on ebay for your regulator assembly, or try:

I like to go to my local pik n pull and dis-assemble there, to learn how to, before I ruin my own truck out of stupidity. Its a great way to learn for free.I took my metal cutting snips with me to cut thin metal out of my way. Then things came very clear how to DIY.Pay attention on the door panel clips, pull outs, how the handle and the door pulls come apart, as there are hidden screws & snaps!
Some regulators have motors you just can't replace or rewind the cables, others are mechanically operated. Pay attention to the tools used-needed and how glass attaches. Hope this Helps!

If I remember correctly it will be a little hard to get to it being down. You may have to disconnect the actuator and move it up by hand to get the motor out.

BTW, how do you know it is the motor that is bad. Have you run power to it from the battery to ensure? I only ask because I have changed a few without checking and I wanted to kick myself each time.
 
I don't know if you've done this, but you might consider checking the circuit to see if the motor is getting power. It's pretty common to get breaks in the wiring harness on these trucks.

it wont matter, put the glass in the best position to access the mount bolts.
 
I still have an issue with this. So I started looking at the wiring tonight. Could someone confirm if these voltages are correct on the Pass side door wiring harness? There are 7 wires.

Blue/Yellow 12 volts when button is pressed for window to go up.

Blue/red dash. 12vdc when button pushed up and 1.8vdc when pushed down

Blue/black 1.5vdc when button pushed down.

Blue/red line. 12vdc when car on then drops vdc when window goes down.

Blue/white line. 12vdc when button pushed up. .76vdc when pushed down.

Black wire. 0 volts unless the door plunger switch is unplugged then its 10.9vdc.

Black/white. 12 volts all the time.

The window goes down but not up. I even hooked up new motor and i have the same thing. I have checked for Broken wires, i have taken apart the switch and cleaned it and still have the same issue.

thoughts???
 
Check the following:
1) power in/out of the drivers switch
2) power in/out of the passenger switch
3) pull driver's door panel and cut back harness through and across jam.
The usual spot for the break in the harness is in the jams (flex point).
regards
