1998 Chrysler Town & Country Rear Wing Window Motor Repair $0! -Fixing it Forward

1. Maybe I'll just spray cleaner and grease on my window and see if that works. I am amazed at how the second motor only took you 3 minutes compared to the 18 for the first one. Really though, once I unload the Honda Elite from the seatbelt anchor I'll tear into the trim and start testing both motors.

2. Dude! Awesome. Yah, it looks easy. We'll see how "rewarding" it is after I take a crack at it. I have been such a bonehead on my repairs lately.

3. Good job! Greetings from México

4. Its a win, win when you can refurbish something ,other wise would end up in the garbage. Great video Eric!

5. I'm having the same issue with the right

6. Muchas gracias felicidades es de gran ayuda

7. How do I test to see if its not just a fuse issue with the rear window vents. I click the button but nothing happens. They are closed currently.

8. Fine thanks from CDMX friend

9. Awesome love it

10. Eric….you are a True Mechanic. You are Not a pull and replace kind of guy. You investigate, analyze, and fix.
    You are the best.

11. Excellent video again. Love it. You going all the way with the project. Please Keep doing that with all your videos. You are the best. I learn so much from you.

12. Badass 🙂

13. Great info! Great Delivery!
    On a related note, on the stationary side of the window, how does the hinge mechanism actualy swivel?
    Is it a real hinge, or is it a "flex" hinge?…

14. Same wing motor in my van now I know how to fix them if they fail thanks Eric👍

15. saludos con afecto,muy agradecido por tu gran aportación,gracias (pdta ¿que voltaje maneja tu control de corriente? )por tu tiempo gracias

16. Actually I was wrong. The replacment unit is $66!

17. I'm not sure what your hourly rate is but our shop is $85 per hour. So not sure this is a cost effective repaid. A replacement motor is $135 and would take 15 minutes to replace…then we could move on to next vehicle to fix

18. There is no me without you…if you have any questions feel free to ask or email me! Thanks

19. awesome

21. Anyone who played with electric cars and toys as a kid would know this trick with the little motors.

    Repair before replace has always been my motto….especially when it costs money for parts, and my time and curiosity is free….further more I might learn something in the process, and that's a huge gain in itself you'd otherwise miss out on if you just replaced the part..

    Knowledge is power…but can also save or make you money….and also that same piece of knowledge might apply to so many other similar things…..it becomes an endless wealth….

    There's an example right there, ETCG himself continuously growing his wealth of knowledge.

22. While I'm here I'll just mention that the solonoid contacts are easy to replace on Chrysler starters. I think that burned contacts are usually the first starting problem that shows up on those old vans.

23. I love it! Since DIYers have time to mess around and then repeat or replace with a new one, it's nice to see how that can be done. But I understand that it is best for mechanics to install new parts to save time and the potential for a repeat problem for the customer.

24. The side window motor brushes and commutators can be cleaned up in place. Just two screws and the motor can be removed from the base that holds the brushes. Of course, they get dirty in a couple of years, and it must be repeated.

25. Eric, you're a pretty cool cat!! I enjoy your videos!! Thank you

26. SO FUCKING AWESOME UGHHH YESSS, I live for repairs like this man. Sometimes you have to embrace your inner tweaker

27. Is there a kit available to convert fixed rear windows to powered wing windows on the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica?

28. txs eric. u r simply the best. greetings from tijuana mexico.

29. I love this kind of work. It makes you feel whole.

30. The count… Ah ah ah. How many of you got that one?

31. This is so awesome, fixing a part most anyone would've chalked up as dead. Great video

32. Hi, question whats the name of the red tester that you use on this clip!!!!

33. Love this repair video. I'm having same issues with vent windows. Soaked my motors in oil but didn't help after removing both.Thought about doing what you did but was afraid I might make a mistake, break it, and not have a replacement…Enjoy your videos, neighbors wonder how I know how to repair so much….love it…Thanks for videos

34. Just completed the window motor on my 2006 "next comment" and there is one change on the 2006 motor, it has clips that hold the plastic sides together so no solder gun was necessary. I used 1000 grit sandpaper to clean up the inside and it took all of 1 min to get it done. Thanks for the video

35. LOVE IT, my 2006 window is not working and I was going to replace the motor but now I will try this. If you can save $55 go for it.

36. Just did a similar repair on my '04 Odyssey. In my case, the motor still worked. All the white lithium grease had baked out and allowed everything to bind up. With the Honda unit, no need to drill or melt anything, just use a pocket screwdriver and pop it open. Could've superglued it back, but used a hot nail to press 2 holes into the body and used 2 small screws to reassemble it. Just repacked the whole thing with WL grease, testing at every step, put it back together, tested again, installed and it's working like a champ. Now, to do the other side. I did discover that the carrier for the worm gear is not 2 equal pieces. 1 is a fraction of a millimeter thicker, just enough to make the difference in it working or not, if you put it back in the wrong order.

37. Genial!!! Thanks !

38. your little resistor there is actually a capacitor..

39. nice job !!!! mechanics used to fix things….now most are just parts replacement guys !!!!! sad !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but not you !!!!!!!!!
