I just cant deal with all the cranking.....plus I can open or close the passenger side window while I am driving without having to lean all the way over there. I will take power over manual ANY DAY OF THE YEAR. Even more so now that I learned how to drill out the two pre center punched spots to get at the two 10mm bolt heads (the third one you can reach) and remove the window motor, change the torque pins, and re-grease everything, then put it all back inside a half hour. That has got to be one of the more well thought out maintenance items on the truck IMHO!

:stupid

Me too

After I changed the rear window motor new, my [email protected]$$ self couldn't resist stealing the perfectly good plastic roll pins out of the old core for my passenger's side window motor.

I was able to put the busted pins back in the core motor and get my core deposit back while still fixin' the passenger's window while I was at it ! It just don't git cheaper than that !:toothless

Truth is that was four years ago (?) and after doing what Streetgang suggests about greasing everything I haven't had a day's trouble out of any of them since.

I think Streetgang is right that it is E-ssential to be able to roll down the passenger's window electrically from the driver's side. You can get the breeze going through the truck or pass the hookers and homeless an apple, diet pop or whatever:toothless

Sorry. lol Better?

I'm guessing it's supposed to be a tight fit then if I have to use a vise to get it in there.

Mine were always snug alright, but then again "play" will only lead to wear. Do what Steve says and lather it in grease. If you're cold weather like I am, half the year, better make sure it's a synthetic grease that won't slow down as things get cooler.

Let us know how it works for you. Worked like a charm for me.

I mentioned in a previous post that my window would not go down. Finally got the chance to take it apart last night (the motor) and found that the torque pins were in good shape...no explosion. I tested the wiring and it was fine. Is there anyway to test the motor? Try a direct hook-up to an electrical source to see if it will turn? If it is not the torque pins or gear then what is the problem...can it be fixed or do I have to go buy another stickin motor? Thanks everyone!

I was hoping it was the pins...may be a worse case scenerio though.

by the way if I have to purchase another motor at least I will have two sets of gears and pins! Still in good shape!

Door or tailgate Xris ?

The door window motors can be screwed with. My driver's side was driving me to distraction on again off again.

I started rapping it with a hammer and it started working again. After a few times rapping it I stuck my bearded face in there and realized they'z a set screw on top with a lock nut. I screwed with that for a while and low-n-behold I done got her working all the time !

That was two years ago and she's still going strong:chili:

When it comes to the tailgate I had to pony up for the motor from Ford as I DID NOT want to have to do that again because of some cheap rebuilt !

Six...it was the door motor. I'll try messing with the set screw to see if I can get'er working. If that dos'nt work I'll hit it with a frickin' hammer!

Tap it ! Xris

If it doesn't work then take it out and pound on it until you're smilin' !:toothless

This is great! thank you all for posting this. One question before I go buy the plastic bearings/parts. Are the power windows the same through all years? I have a 94 Eddie Bauer. The pics are of an 88 Bronco.

Thanks

Brandon.

i just purchased a 1991 bronco 4X4 5 spd 302, last weekend. only has 89K on the engine. among other things, my driver's side power window will go down, correctly, but not up ... motor seems to work fine, and i can raise the window manually with both hands on each side of the window, but slips back down while driving.

what i'm seeing here is that i need to replace the torque pin or regulator gear plugs. is that correct?

the last power window problems i had was a 1963 Studebaker Avanti, and it was a while ago...

tia. and will have more questions if i can't find the answer using the "search" function.

Sounds like that's whatcha need ppow

hey guys im having a similar problem. my driver side windows always been slow since ive had it (about 3 months) sometimes it goes up and sometimes i have to help it up. well now it doesnt go up so i have to do it by hand. if i put it up it will fall a bit and if i shut the door it falls down. i can move the window up and down by hand with no problem. like it aint in the track or something. i almost think i need the torque pins but no one had said anything about theirs falling down or moving freely by hand! could it still be that??

That's a big yeah threeinchcutters

Blow $7.00 and fix it, or at least rule it out

Thanks sixlitre. I went ahead and ripped it apart and the torque pins were pretty much non exsistent. I couldn't believe they were actually workin at all. But it was so easy to get apart I went ahead and did the back as well. Had to go to autozone and discount because they only carried 1 a peice. But it works great now! Thanks for the help

You're mighty welcome 3

That's usually all it is. On my old 86' there's a slot screw on top of the driver's side motor. Once every ten years I twist it left and right until it moves again.
