1998 Chrysler Town & Country Rear Wing Window Motor Repair $0! -Fixing it Forward
Here’s another one from the Fixing it Forward series. In the spirit of keeping cost down I went by some viewer suggestions and attempted to fix the rear wing window motors on this 1998 Chrysler Town and Country. Guess what, it worked. I was just as surprised as anyone when it happened, but a win is a win, and I’ll take one of those any day.
As for why it worked, well I often say that the majority of electrical issues boil down to a connection problem. This is a classic case of just that. The brushes in the motor were just not able to deliver power to the commutator, therefore, the motor didn’t work. Once everything was cleaned up, it worked fine.
Be careful when you attempt this. Yes, it can be done, but I can see how it would be easy to break something. Also, be sure to mark the motor when you take it apart. That way you can get it back together in the correct orientation. If you don’t, one or both of these 2 things will happen. The motor won’t work correctly, or you won’t be able to secure it to the housing when you finish your work. How do I know this? Well lets just say I cut that part out of the video.
