Replace Window Motor for Front Passenger (1 Viewer)

[Neuner]

I tried to do a search but I think Window and Motor are used too often for me to find what is probably a common theme in threads.

My wife's '98 no longer has a working front passenger window. Neither switch works and therefore it's most likely the window motor, correct?

If that's true, how difficult is it to find a replacement and how hard is the task?

Thanks!

First Hot wire the motor to check it. It has two wires, and polarity changes based on the direction of travel.

I thought my motor was bad. It turned out one wire pin on the back of the master switch was not making good contact. I could tell it didn’t have a good witness mark on the male pin. Gave it a little tweak and all was good.

Thank you, I'll give that a try as soon as I can get my wife to leave it behind for me.

Window motor replacement is easy, but you have to take out the glass out of the door. I have done it multiple times. You can check this video or this video.
In case if you replace the motor, you will need to reset the pinch sensor function.
Finding a replacement motor is as easy as finding spark plugs.

I didn't have to remove the window or reprogram anything on my 99 to change out the motor assembly.

Went for a drive with her and she notified me it was more than the one window.

All happened at the same time:
- Passenger Front + Rear stopped working
- Driver Rear moves very slowly

Only the driver window works correctly.

Could all of the motors failed in some regard at the same time or does it seem more like a bad connection or blown fuse some place?

Everything goes through the driver door master switch. My guess is the master switch (or harness connection there) is bad.
