I need to replace my window motor on the right side. The window won't go up or down. The motor just grinds. I took the trim panel off, but how do I remove the motor, I see no screws or bolts to remove. This is on a 1990 Ford 250 XLT Lariat.

Thank you, Ross Benson

Hello and thanks for the donation!

Below are the proper replacement procedures for your Ford's window motor. Just let me know if you need further assistance with this issue.

Disconnect the battery ground.
Remove the door trim panel.
Disconnect the window motor wiring harness.
There are 2 dimples in the door panel, opposite the 2 concealed motor retaining bolts. Using a 1 / 2 in. (13mm) drill bit, drill out these dimples to gain access to the motor bolts. Be careful to avoid damage to the wires.
Remove the 3 motor mounting bolts.
Push the motor towards the outside of the door to disengage it from the gears. You'll have to support the window glass once the motor is disengaged.
Remove the motor from the door.
Installation is the reverse of removal. To avoid rusting in the drilled areas, prime and paint the exposed metal, or, cover the holes with waterproof body tape. Torque the motor mounting bolts to 50-85 inch lbs. (6-10 Nm). Make sure that the motor works properly before installing the trim panel.
