They work. on window regulator motors

Works, fairly easy installation. Don't worry about replacement screws, they just need to be drilled into the plastic. I would like a good metal thread, like the original. The plastic eventually breaks or peels off. But good enough if you plan to lower the window for a year or two. Bought before one burned out about a year and a half later. Another broke free from the plastic threads. But if you don't keep your car forever or you don't mind swapping it out after a while, they will get the job…

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Problems

Close, but not perfect

I ordered a motor for the driver's side. The description of the engine suggested that the engine was universal, but in fact the engine in the form in which it was supplied was a passenger engine. He came up with installing it upside down which meant the polarity was reversed - the up button was etc. I was able to unplug the wires and reverse the polarity to get it working properly. The instructions say nothing about the problem with the switch. Also, as other reviewers pointed out, only two of…

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • There are nuances

This power window motor works perfectly and is a driver side window motor replacement for my 1994th Ford F150 XLT. Although this Dorman 742-251 is designed to fit in the passenger door window, it will also work with the driver's side window, you just have to rotate it when you install it. I fitted this new one to a failing Ford OEM engine and they are opposite. You will need to drill 2 indentations with a 1/2" drill bit so you can access the screws on the inside of the door panel and remove the

Pros
  • Easy install
Cons
  • No automatic

Great simple solution and good performance so far.

All to fit 1996 Tbird 4.6L. The only problem was that the left side is sold as the right side and vice versa. Look at the picture of the housing and you will see that the molded gear side LT is actually the right side. Both rigs were installed on the same day, allowing me to switch sides if needed. The entire installation was in place with no issues and I lubricated the pinion on the pinion and it was a little fiddly to get into the pilot hole to secure the installation. opposite the seat at…

Pros
  • Heavy duty construction
Cons
  • Very expensive

Good replacement, small savings

Well when I bought the motor for the driver's door on my Bronco I also got this motor for the passenger's door or tailgate, whichever failed earlier. In the end it was the back door. Installation was agonizing because the tailgate can be tricky to work with unless you remove the glass (I was out of the house and had nowhere to put the glass) and I actually had to cut some of the nylon strap on the lid. motor head, which I might or might not have avoided by flipping it. Only 2 of the 3 screws…

Pros
  • Trial for a year
Cons
  • Only available in white

88-91 Bronco and F150 (probably other models)

Fitted left and right on a 1991 Bronco, this description should apply to at least an 88-91. DO NOT USE FAKE FOR THE REAR DOOR MOTOR. This setup is difficult enough under ideal conditions, treat yourself to an OEM or a remanufactured OEM. As mentioned in other comments, the mounting holes are misaligned. DO NOT alter the door openings as you will most likely screw up the gear alignment. The top and bottom holes are perfectly aligned, and the foremost hole is offset. If you use this motor, just…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
