Internally they are 100% identical, they just have different covers on them<br /><br />also, the switches arent that good at keeping out moisture and grease... you can take it apart and clean the contacts really well with some electrical part cleaner<br /> <br /> <small>[ October 07, 2005, 10:19 PM: Message edited by: 94gt ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Midnight5.0</b> <br /><small>Member # 597</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,9,13,16,42,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> The switch still works so it should be the window motor.

Watch the dome light and push the window switch. If the lamps flicker or dim than that means the window motor is getting power. That means your switch is good but the motor is poop. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Joooestang66</b> <br /><small>Member # 2828</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,9,14,23,51,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Remove the door panel, remove the speaker, disconnect the window motor connector, remove the three torx head screws that hold the motor in place, remove through the speaker hole.

If for some reason that dosen't work, your'e gonna have to pop out the rivets that hold the window to the regulator. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>lawmans_GT</b> <br /><small>Member # 3235</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2005,9,15,0,16,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> I had the same problem with my 2001 coupe.
