So, the 97's driver window has become problematic and with cold weather afoot I tore it apart. Expected to find the motor with heat damage evidence, dried grease, etc. Not really. Cleaned the motor's contacts, greased things up and reassembled. Things looked promising on the bench with the motor moving briskly.
But back in the door it still stalls and then the motor doesn't even try to turn itself. I can tell this by looking at the little gear and taking the strain/load off by lifting on the glass and the motor will barely move after a few back and forth tries in which it moves in diminishing strength. Then, stops trying.
What's the deal with the motor? Anyone with elect. experience explain why the motor is "dying" when it's physically clean, oiled and showing no signs of water or corrosion?
Looking for the latest info on what motor to buy and where to get it. I read through a big search and some felt other models had stronger motors and would fit, etc. Thanks!
