Location: 33844 | Has anyone found a cheap , generic replacement for our power window motors ?? Any DC motor with 2-3/4 body and 5/16 shaft would work , me thinks !! |

Location: 33844 | The shaft is even the right length. It has teeth , but I just run it with 12v and hold against grinder to turn it down to 5/16 , then grind a flat side. And a couple layers of duct-tape to snug it in the mount. |

Location: 33844 | Whoa --- do our power-window motors reverse the usual way -- by reversing the polarity to the leads ??? Or do they use chassis ground and apply 12V to one lead or the other !!! |

I my 61 they are reveresed by using the chassis ground and applying 12V to on lead or the other.
I can confirm the above also for '59 and '60 as well as later models.
So, did anyone mount them yet and if so, did the rpm/torque work in a simular way as the original motors?
Does the bolts for the reduction gear correspond to the motor? |

Location: 33844 | So our FL window motors are special that way. Most DC motors reverse simply by reversing the leads !!! I guess Ma Chrysler did this to simplify the wiring somehow ??? |
