I've never had good car luck, so it makes sense that my passenger window would stop working entirely right as I get done with a speaker install...
Already ordered another set of brushes (the ones you posted, binder).
I am not looking forward to this. I kinda was planning on not doing much else to the car after I got my amp installed next week, sigh...

Look in this thread. I know a few guys said they did them for their friends or other members so you could PM one of them and see if they will do it for you. I was doing them for about 30$ per motor but with time constraints with my clinic it just isn't worth my time anymore unless you are willing to wait until December.

@Binder From that link you posted; which brushes do you recommend? One window is giving me a problem so I'd figure might as well do both.

Just fixed my window. It was easy 7.00 brushes, around 10 for a desoldering iron.
Works good now. Much faster. Only hard part for me was desoldering. Pretty easy fix.

@binder man i appreciate your how-to. not the easiest fix if you dont know how to solder but after a little melted plastic and a burned finger lol i got this done. not to hard if your a DIY kind of person. hardest part i had was soldering back the main two wires. took about 3-4 hours, thats with frustration breaks. but anyways thanks again man!! Terminator window works perfect now

I didn't use 540 brushes, I used some that are found in most any electric motor similar to the window. I got mine from an alternator and started shop, just had to sand down the brushes and fanigle the whole unit back together. If you follow the pics you shouldn't have a problem. It's a pretty easy fix if you have any sort of electrical knowledge

None taken and I did see the post before. Wanted to see which specific ones members had installed rather than just finding a generic pair. There are different strengths and materials they are made of so I was looking for one that someone had specifically installed and used with success themselves.

Thanks to the OP'r. I just replaced my motor with an oem nissan motor for $160. B/c I had ordered it before seeing this post. But now I'm going to rebuild my original for a spare. Ordered the brushes for $6 ill let you guys know how it goes when I finish.
