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…

Great job Eric!
For everyone trying the same thing…I suggest to just polish the
kommutators and not use sandpaper etc., cause if the surface of the
kommutator is rough, it will eat up the carbon brush pretty fast.
Nice job Eric! It’d be nice to know who’s suggestion that came from, give
them a lil shout out, maybe a t-shirt or hat. Again, great job. Take care.
Eric why don’t you rebuild the trans the clutch kits are inexpensive you
only need time to do it i know its a specialist job but he also had to do
it for a first time … saying this while not knowing if you did a trans
before.
dirty combars glad you fixed em.
that little component you called a resistor is a capacitor.
I had the feeling that the problem would be a bad electrical connection,
that is often the case! Car elecronics is a BITCH
This is the sort of mad stuff I end up doing haha. Great job!
Anybody ever tell you that you look like Richard Rawlings?
Incredible!! I agree, did not look serviceable.
Exactly what I do. I don’t have much money, but I have lots of time. I
rebuild before I replace when at all possible, and sometimes when not.
Cool fix
If you drill a tiny hole in the lid of the Q-Bond it pours so much nicer
and there’s less waste.
This video was so cool. Today’s pull, toss, and replace is so boring
compared to yesterdays pull, repair, replace. Nice job!
My electric door lock actuator started behaving erratically, so I hunted
the problem down to a faulty motor. The whole actuator is $50. I dug around
and found a almost perfect match motor on ebay for $5. No problems since.
And I saved $45!
Kind of amazed. Too good to be true. Lol
Repairing is a lot more satisfying than replacing.
u got it eric……. its the brushes!!!!
Thumbs up for you Eric! Good work as usual!
Good work, I like when techs actually try to repair something instead of
replacing parts.
as for reassemble i would drill out all the way through and use a bolt and
lock nut…. easy to take apart if needed :-D
Good work, Eric! I’ve tried this with various electric motors and it’s
usually unsuccessful. But it’s always worth a shot if you have the time.
You should have drilled them out.
good deal, hard to believe contacts that conduct electrical current can
cause enough dirty residue to stop the contact from working but it does.
hmm i might give this a try myself my driver side window doesnt work maybe
this is a similar issue?
Ok it works but how long will it work compared to a new whole part?
