In regards to the OP:
I used to have an old 1988 F-150 as my high school truck. It had electric window motors. One time I had a motor go out on the passenger door. My uncle was a ford mechanic and knew how to fix it. Two things I learned from watching him replace the motor in under 30 minutes that would have taken me most of a day:
- I guess the engineer thought putting the motors in backwards would make them fit better. So for a passenger door you had to order a driver side motor (same motor was used several model years in a row and was common in the F-150 line, but reversed on this year).
-The motor was mounted in the door, then the inside metal plate was welded on. You had to drill holes into the inside metal of the door to access the bolts. While the order of operations may have made sense when the door was still in production, once you put that inside metal plate on, you were screwed.
