Wires reversed: top to bottom, bottom to top

I paid a mechanic to install a new power window. But the buttons were reversed, up was down and down was up. We made sure the wires were connected correctly and not reversed, but we found that the motor can only be installed one way and connected to the wires one way. I called support. and they told me that my wires were probably swapped during production. They offered a replacement and since then I've already paid the mechanic. I've decided to stick with the back keys. 2 stars for poor product

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Useless features

Just as good or better than factory! There are no problems here!

This arrived a few weeks ago and looks very good. Some say it's louder than the factory, but mine sounds the same. It's faster which I like. Mine works on an automatic feature, which some say isn't the case. This is easy to install once you drill 2 holes in the panel. 1 is already there for you. I can't say how long this car will last as I don't use the truck as a daily driver. I drive the aerial work platform to work, but it's only used for fishing and garbage collection. So far, so good. Mine

All together inside out

The part sent was incorrect. I ordered a driver's side power window motor for my 2004 F150 XLT from Dorman. When I opened the package, to my surprise, it was completely disabled. From the location of the connector to the gears themselves. Called Dorman and they said I might have ordered the wrong part so we checked and I didn't. I asked him to look up the truck's VIN and found out that they don't even sell just the engine. I had to order the whole assembly. So here's what I did. It would be…

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.

Quality replacement

Good powerful replacement lift motors for my 2001 Expedition. I have had 2 for about 3 years and just did a 3rd door with another. Everything worked fine, no problems, and the power windows came on with more force than the old, worn out motors. Installation is pretty easy, and one of the few wiring harness parts they give you is a direct replacement. At least take a look at Expy. The doors have 3 holes in the sheet metal located over the heads of the 3 engine bolts. If you drill them out to…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Modern

Check fitment and update bolts

97 F250 HD was listed as fitting but luckily bought both sides. For this application (or at least my truck) the engines were swapped; 742-272 is suitable for the passenger side. I installed 742-273 on the driver's side, the first screw broke off (and I'm a weakling!) so I had to drill it out. Bought stronger, smaller screws from Fastenal, so no more drilling out screws. The window works well but "swings" slightly when raised. I'm not sure if it's the motor or something wrong with my governor…

  • Good to use

Perfect fit for driver's door 97 F150.

Ideal for 97 F150 driver's door. Pulling out the old one was a little easier than replacing it with the new one, but one day it worked great. how do i install it It didn't seem to align properly and I couldn't install it properly. So I just put one screw in the left hole as you see and turned the screw just a few turns, then I did the same with the second screw in the top hole. When he finally felt like he was sitting properly. I'm assuming the gears aren't reversed. I put in the last screw and

  • Easy installation

  • Upgrade available

Fits 97 F150 like a glove with cable connectors

Installing this motor was quick and easy. It also has three or four harnesses to connect to either version, which is a big plus. A few years ago I bought a competitor model for the passenger door and that model didn't have the wiring harnesses. Also, this model moves the glass slightly faster than the standard motor. That's a big plus too. For those who have never changed a lift motor, you may need to drill two holes to access two of the three bolt heads. It made no sense, and that's Ford's…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Great motor but learn how to install FIRST!

Go to YouTube FIRST and find out what to do. If you are embarrassed to drill metal or have severe arthritis in your hands, this job is not for you. But if you've got good hands and don't mind steel power tools, it's fun. This is perfect for my 1999 F150. Works just like the original. I have three different electrical connectors, one of which is perfect for my truck. The ease of installation depends on your expectations. I knew what to do from some great YouTube videos. With this truck, you must

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Unbelievable price
