The regulator is the part that raises the window. Can be a notched curved piece and a X shaped arm that raises the window or a plastic strip that runs in a grove. The motor can be changed. I belive regulator and the motor are both held in by rivots. These can be drilled out and replaced with bolts.
no
Have to remove the door panel screws, then remove speaker, drop the cables off the window motor (maybe), drill out the rivets that secure the regulator at bottom and remove two bolts at the top of regulator. push window all way up remove glass from regulator, I used a screwdriver but am sure there must be an easier way to remove the caulk that hold window to regulator. then dats about it..if you need to replace motor same thing drill out the rivets and pull out from right side of door...have fun that project sucked for me..LOL
Its should be same thing
If you mean you are removing the window motor from the window regulator (the metal assembly that attach to the door panel and the window) then once you have the three screws removed, the motor pops off. HOWEVER, there is a spring that holds tension against the motor gear so the motor may not want to move; and, once you do remove the motor from the regulator the regalator will tend to snap shut, be careful. The motor may also have timing so you may need to put the motor back into the exact place you took it out of. That is, you need to mark where the gear teeth are on the regulator before you remove the motor from the regulator so it goes back into the same place.
I found having a repair manual specifically for your make/model/year a great start. I'm in the same boat and this is what I have found out and will be doing next weekend. First, I had the a screw placed in the regulator to keep the window up until I am able to replace the window regulator. The regulator comes complete with the motor, so what I will do is remove the current regulator have a friend holding up the window has I am doing this so I wont have to remove the window (to skip a step), then just attach the new regulator in the same place as the original.
I recently had the same problem with a friends 01 Town and Country and it was the drivers side power window motor at fault. A Mopar mechanic friend of mine strongly recommended purchasing the power window regulator assembly with motor attached. If you separate the motor from the assembly, reinstallation is nearly impossible. The complete window regulator with motor assembly was just under $140. Installation took about an hour. Also, the dealership had the assembly in stock which tells me they sell many of them.
No, if only the belt is broken, all you have to buy is the regulator, which runs approx $100 - $120. The power window Motor is a separate part that runs approx the same price.
i have a 99 grand caravan same prob....hit bottom of door while holding the button up,will go up.you have a problem with the regulator not the motor,the regulator is what your motor attaches too,go figure lol...good luck
on the 01, probably close enough to the same thing, remove the door panel, then you need the window about halfway down, there are two bolts that hold the window onto the regulator and two bolts on the bottom and two on the top of the regulator. it helps if someone can help hold the window, if not duct tape works pretty good.
That would be EXTREMELY unlikely that any rear window regulator would fit in the front window, same side or not.
It sounds like the plastic gear on the window regulator has broken. disengaging the window from the levers... I had a 1990 240sx that had the same problem. You have to take the door panel off and replace the window regulator.... I would recommend painting all the internal linkage and window screws before you take them off, this way you will know where to reposition the window and linkage to avoid adjusting later... If you window motor is turning and the window goes up part of the way but stops. But can be pulled all the way up by hand it is the motor. It has a rubber cog inside the assembly and the steel shaft from the motor rips through the rubber cog and just spins. I orded a regulator and it ended up being the motor. My car has a sheet draped over the door so cats won't get in there and piss in it tonight... but the motor and the regulator. Don't be cheap....get both of them in the first place. A1auto dot com is the cheapest place. ~shawn
