I was wondering if replacing a power window motor is difficult? i am planning to do it myself, can anyone give me some tips on how i can replace it? Is it just a simple switch with splicing wires? let me know.. thanks for your time.. and thx to dustinZ for supplying me with the motor

the wires have a terminal you simply unplug and plug in your replacement unless someone cut the pigtail off your replacement, it's a pain in the but it kinda wedges in and you'll want a spare set of hands around to hold the window up while you make the switch, very difficult to do by yourself

a pair of big suction cups held together by a string or wire eliminate the need for a second set of hands to hold the window

it's wedged in, you have to remove the correct bolts, I seem to recall there were 3? and then you have to wrestel it out while supposring the galss and prying it from between the door shell and the windor regulator, it really is a pain in the butt, also easier if you go ahead and remove the seatbelt retianing brackets and bolts and get the whole door panel out of the way

if you take the door speaker out its much easier to access the motor, its basically right behind the top of the speaker to the left.
