Worked for my 2003 Expedition

Aside from having to swap wires in the connector to work with my 2003 Expedition Eddie Bauer, the motor fit and ran perfectly.

Pros
  • Hands Free Operation
Cons
  • No

Not the best but might work

Works but the wires were swapped, the down button raised the window and the up button lowered the window. The plug was broken, it was a return line.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Not sure

Do not buy spare parts

The product will install normally. The engine was louder than the native. I could live with that. But he is less than 3 months old and stops working. It didn't become less effective, it just stopped working right away. OEM purchase lasted over 6 years.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • I have no particular complaints about it, everything is fine.

Ideal. 2006 Expedition Front Driver's Window

It was a perfect fit for the front driver's window on my 2006 Expedition car. Everything looked great. Was about $25 cheaper than the auto parts store. This is the same part and part number as found at the auto parts store. Hope this helps someone.

Pros
  • This is Amazing
Cons
  • There are Cons

Not long enough for spares

Already received a new one sent to me under warranty - installed 15th July (4 months ago). They installed a new Dorman controller at the same time, so they can't use that excuse either. If you can change it easily, you shouldn't have a terrible time swapping it out every few months.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • So far so good

Up down. Best in Spare Parts

Firstly there doesn't seem to be a separate motor for the front left driver's side window so I had to get this one. After installation, the polarity is reversed. Top and bottom are swapped. I bought this four months ago and just had the chance to install it so not sure if I can even send it back.

Pros
  • Easy to read dashboard
Cons
  • Replacement availability

Fits backwards like most

Fits backwards like most. Pushing up lowers the window and pushing down raises the window. Simple solution by swapping the cables in the adapter. As mentioned in another review, no wires to cut and splice. The large end of the cable adapter allows you to detach and swap contacts.

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Easy return makes buying a pleasure

The polarity is reversed - the top went down and the bottom went up. I called Dorman and they said Ford had been changing the wiring for several years. I could have swapped the wires but I just sent them back - I replaced the power window and thought while there I put a new motor in. I just put the original motor back on the ESC. Revain returns are always the easiest so I can always shop on this site with confidence.

Pros
  • Convenient item
Cons
  • Everything is fine
