After a great deal of frustration and some scraped knuckles working through the holes in the driver’s door, I got my Chinese window motor installed & regulator assembly back in.
The drivers door switch assembly is from Switch Doctor, but works perfectly on the other 3 windows. I believe there is nothing wrong with the switch(es)
The new Chinese motor did not have the proper plug, so I cut the OEM two wire plug off the old motor, twisted it on the Chinese motor. Red wire to red wire, black Chinese wire to green OEM wire
My problem is that UP on the switch, window goes down, DOWN on the switch, window goes up !
Did I get the motor’s gear on the wrong place on the regulator gear, or do I flip the wires ? I thought one wire would be 12v and one wire would be ground, but maybe it grounds through the door screws & each wire goes a different direction? Is that how electricity works ? Is there any harm to switch the wires & see what happens?
