the "think" you drilled into in the beginning, that thing is actually out of place from the slider in the track. Any ideas on how to get it back in? I tried hammer, pliers, etc... the thing is so damn tough to get in.
so on my explorer the window motor went bad and i pulled the regulator and then tried to get the motor off i unbolted it and i wouldnt come off so i took a flat head and got it off but it was spring loaded and i broke all the way down so the motor bracket sung around and cut my finger but not too bad but it could have cut it real bad so be careful if you try and get the motor off the regulator
The regulators went bad in both of the front doors of my '96 Explorer and the mechanic told me it would be around $600 to replace and install new regulators ($211 each...$85/hr labor). I bought t wo used regulator ($40 each) and was able to replace them by watching this video. Thanks, the instructions were excellent!!
@creepulkins Thanks for checking us out. We carry those regulators for Explorers for not to much more than what you had paid, ours are brand new with a 2 year warranty also. Available at 1aauto.com
what if you're replacing the regulator with a used window regulator.. The used one doesn't have the brace that connects to the window. what kind of bolts will you need to reconnect the bolts you knocked out to free the regulator from the window?
@creepulkins You would have find some bolts to connect the regulator to the door with. If it fails on you we carry brand new ones on our website 1aauto.com. Complete with a warranty and free shipping.
What happens when NONE of the windows nor the sunroof are working?? The guy I bought it from says there is a control module located in the upper center of the dash board.. Seems kinda odd.. Any thoughts?? 97 explorer sport.
@TheShadowShow00 If the locks are not working either,check the wire harness that goes between the door and the body of the truck for frayed or broken wires. This happens quite often on numerous vehicles, and is a good starting point before diving in to far.
I wish this is all that's wrong with mine... My window actually came out of those clips that hold it to the regulator so i will actually have to bend them back into place and use silicone.
@notar1 Usually itmoves slow when the car is not on and normal when the car is running. Never heard of rain coming in to the equation. If it works at the correct speed some times then it should not need to be lubricated.
Window on my explorer won't roll back up. It makes no noise. At one point it rolled down more but wouldn't rebound. It is basically the switch, right? If so, can I bypass the switch just to get it up?
@Polarcupcheck Could be the motor or the switch. I don't recommend "bypassing" things Could short something and do more damage. I'd take the switch out and use a test light to see if it is OK.
i have the same truck and my window doesnt roll up when ever i press the button it sounds like it wants to roll but cant ....do i replace the regulator??? please help
Great Info ! Now I need to do both of mine. Thanks

@Polarcupcheck Can you grab hold of it and help it up? If so then it is the motor that is bad.

@1aauto No, it is solid.
