how to take out window motor?

[bumpersignal]

Looking for any directions on how to remove the window motor. Mine is rolling down by itself whenever I use the auto up function of driver window and I saw a procedure to reset the motor but I have to take it out apparently:

window reprogramming? - Club Lexus Forums

I'm hoping I don't have to remove the window itself to get to the motor.

Have you removed the door panel?

Yes, I had taken it out a couple times to replace the actuator very recently and was poking around to see how I could get to that motor and couldn't figure it out if there was an easy way other to remove the window and all the rail mechanism for it.

Does anyone have a service manual instructions for removing the window motor?

You have to take the window up-down mechanism out to remove the motor.
There should be about five 10 mm bolts to remove. Three is holding the mechanism to the door and two is holding the glass.

Remove these bolts and the wire plug and the mechanism should come right out. Don't let the glass to drop, just lower it slowly.

Then use a big flat screw driver and loosen the 3 bolts holding the motor to the mechanism CAUTION: the mechanism is spring loaded and it can simply bounce back so keep away your fingers around the mechanism. It is not a heavily loaded spring, but just be ready. I keep the mechanism on the floor and with shoes on I step on to it while pressing hard on those 3 bolts and turning.

I don't think there is a programming involved. The AUTO function basically uses a bi-metal to disconnect the power. When the window reaches the top (or bottom), the bi-metal heats up and pops in the other direction disconnecting the power to the motor.

Use Denso or OEM used motor if you plan it that route. These motors hardly fail. Never seen one in my life with a failed toyota-denso window motor.
