My passenger window doesn't go up or down but i can hear the motor turning.

So, I searched and found out that it is most likely the "torque pins" that need replacing.

Now, would these be what i need?:

And could i get them cheaper somewhere?

Or would a whole new motor for only 30 bucks work too?:

Except is only says 92-96 bronco which i dont know if it had different window motors or something, so i was wondering if that would work. I figure 30 bucks for a whole new motor would be the best and easiest solution.

I paid $45.00 to the Bronco Graveyard guys for new one, shipped to my door. Pull off the interior door panel, check your speaker while you're there, drill that 7/16" hole for the one nut, clean out the very bottom (where wierd crap ends up over the years), lube the gears and slides and rail, clean-up the electrical connections, check your electric door locks and lube them, re-duct tape the protective plastic back over the steel part of the door and then re-assemble. Plan on 3 hours or so----be meticulous and take your time to do it right.

Have fun.....

I would say replace the gear or motor more than likely your gear is stripped a few teeth.

Either way, it's still a good oppurtunity to make a little science project and repair/maintenance chore out of all the goodys that are behind the panel...........

I used some scrap bits of round stock to replace the torque pins. On my 92, the factory thoughtfully put dimples in the perfect location for drilling out with a 1/2" hole saw to make getting the bolts out easy. Mine were 8mm head. Whole job took less than 1/2 hour.

Hmmm, never seen one of those...in 36 years of construction. How about starting out with a 5/16" or 3/8" twist bit, and then start using a 1/2 inch diameter rotary rasp/file to slowly open the hole up to the right size to recieve the appropriate socket and extension?....

 

[sr71mopar]

I'm not in constuction, but I did get my 1/2" hole saw from the local hardware store. I just happened to buy it for a different job, but it was 1/2 the price of the motor anyway. It has a nice 3/16" pilot on a quick release. I think it was Bosch. I'll get a picture when I get to work in the morning if you like.

I replaced my gears on my 92 several months ago.Got new gear kit from bronco graveyard. I cannot remember if it was just 92 or 92-96,but some have diferent window motors.I think that one size is 2 1/2 dia and 2 3/4.

my local carquest caries the rebuild kits.

Advanced and autozone might also. Check on their website or give them a call.

 

[Bonzai]

Yeah the shipping at JBG killed it for me on the rebuild. Im sure someone local has gotta be carrying the torque pins, ill check Kragen and Napa, and possibly Ford if they dont rape my wallet.

 

[92builtbronco]

they are like $5 in the "help" section of Oreilly's or Vatozone.

Here's some good links with pics & part numbers for rebuilding the motor. The passenger side motor & rear window motor are the same.

adrianspeeder's pics He's doing torque pins for a passenger window, & shows where to drill.

Steve83's Tailgate Tech. Great pics & info. It's focused on tailgates, but IIRC there's motor teardown pics in there too.

Torque pins, motors, etc. "HELP" part number in post 14.

I helped my son rebuild his, rebuilt 2 on mine, & now need to do the 3rd. So far i haven't seen any bad gearbox parts except the torque pins.

 

[Need4racin]

Great links!

 

[cmotsvt]

On my '85 I replaced the destroyed torque pins with 3/8'' nuts stacked 3 high.

If you happen to have a old areostar van sitting around of similar year, they have the same kind of window motor in.
