How do you replace a window motor on a 2004 dodge stratus?

http://www.autozone.com/N,14300046//shopping/partTypeResultSet.htm <<< Just looked at the likely part and those are usually pretty easy. Take off door panel and look for the three bolts - may require drilling a hole to access and may be indexed where to drill. That's a clear case of measure twice and cut once if needed.

This should be diagnosed carefully before you replace the motor. What are your finding so far that makes you think it's the motor?

I have checked the switches and wires to the motor, all are working or getting power to motor. I have changed a window motor on a 2002 stratus, but the 04 is set up different and little room to manuver. So I will have to drill out the door where the bolts for the motor are located? Not liking that much.

Tom, thanks for the info.. I think I have a line on it now... I'll let ya know how it goes.. Thanks again...

does anyone know how to anchor an automatic window motor in the driver side door? i have the door panel off and it appears the motor teeth are not meeting the window gear--the motor appears to be loose or unbracketed and I cannot get into the metal panel of the door.

Most window motors are pop-riveted to the door framework. Assuming the motor/regulator are not damaged, you'll need a large pop-rivet tool and large stainless steel rivets to secure the motor. What year, make, and model are we looking at?

How do I remove the drivers side front door panel on a 2000 Plymouth Voyager to replace the power window motor? I removed all the screws that are visible but I can't seem to pop it off. I'm afraid that if I pill too hard I will break something! Thanks, --Gary

Great, Thanks for your quick reply. I removed a panel before many years back from another kind of car. I just wasn't sure is they came up with some new fastening invention for the door panel. Thanks!--Gary

The plastic ones could look similar to this...

Tool for the plastic ones..

Sample...

I have a 1992 Ford f150 XLT, I am guessing the window motor has went bad on the passenger side because the switch on the driver nor the passenger side will roll the window up or down. Does this sound like the motor? If so is it an easy to do repair for my self? Does anyone have a diagram?

Thank you,
Wes

Different looking thing and haven't done one on the trucks of the vintage yet. Should look like this and may be "rivet city" to replace.

A simple test is to see if the motor is taking any current/amps at all with ign turned to enable windows but engine off. Look at the dome light (can watch a voltmeter too but this is easy) while requesting up and down for that window. It will dim or flicker if current is getting to motor - check both up and down requests.

If no change more testing needed. You should get inside and test motor while installed before you blame it. Basic electrical test for switches is that polarity is reversed for up and down request, respectively.

Let some testing begin,

Looks like this in a parts look up..........
