I did a lot of research on this site and basically came to the conclusion that cleaning/refurbing the existing motor only slows the inevitable (failure). I am planning on just taking it in to get fixed professionally in the Spring. If you want...here is a link with a DIY to fix/replace your own motor:

I think we'll be going in the afternoon. Gotta figure out how long that bday party is that Brandon's going to.

[QUOTE=SmoothZ;8180185]Been there, done that. I wrote up my own DIY on Tech and even added pics.

I showed how you can take apart the door panel and get to the motor. The motor sucks, plain and simple. I cleaned it half a dozen times using anything and everything. Drenched it with electrical cleaner and used forced air to clear it out.

Alex, my late FIL has 2 or 3 of those propane heaters down in ABQ. Looks like they're mine now.

Is it your driver side? If you know what your doing maybe I can learn from the Master and swap out motors when you do it??

I know what I'm doing with that window motor. If you have an acct on Tech, go over there and look for it under the How To section.
If you want to come over to my house when it's warmer, we can do it then.

I will order the part up and buy food & drink if you're willing to help out. When are you planning to do yours?

When my fingers and hands don't freeze up, I'll be ready to do it. I would guess in March.

Well, damn. I mapped out a route to do the entire 494/694 loop, which came out to 75 miles, but I guess you guys get the idea. I've always wanted to get a group of Z's together for this type of 'meet.'
What do you think?

I bumped your beer thread.
No problem! I'm really curious to see the difference between the new motor and the old one (different brushes or copper contact). Might have to take lots of pics to add to that thread.

I might not be at the car show too long if I go. I want to go swimming today, but the pool is only open from 2:30 to 4. Bday party is around noon, so if I get dropped off at the River Center after that, I'll probably only be at the show for an hour or so.
