Electric Window Motor and Regulator Replacement (1991 Ford F-150)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 сер 2024
- I show you step by step how to replace the electric/power window motor and regulator in your 87-91 Ford F-150, F-250, or F-350. I assume the process is similar for 80-87 and 92-96 ford trucks too.

That isn't the way to remove the switch panel. Twisting the screwdriver just damages the plastic trim piece and forces the spring loaded metal retainer.
Put a small screwdriver in the slot on the end. With the tip towards the door you'll feel the metal frame that stays in place. Angle the tip away from the door and you'll feel it go over the edge of the frame and onto the spring clip that holds the switches to the metal frame. Now push in on the screwdriver to compress the spring clip and the switches will come out. Repeat on the other end.
Awesome advice. Thank you. I've pinned your comment so hopefully others will see it. 👍
Thanks now I'm ready to tackle mine
@@johnhaley3531 Awesome! Good luck.
A fun experience watching this video 😂!!!
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I've been watching some of your videos, and you're hilarious, thanks for the help and thanks for the laughs. Hope you and your family are holding up well, God bless you and your son.
Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad I was able to make you laugh.
Fantastic and the humor was my kind Have a 1990 f150 thanks Tom
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
I absolutely enjoyed your video. I not only learned how to replace the window mechanism, but you had me laughing out loud at time with your comments. Loved it!!
Hey, thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
The gear looked fine. All you had to use replace your motor so much easier.
Crazy, there was a Planes Trains and Automobiles DVD in mine.
🤣😂🤣😂
Yo love this. I just got my first F series and this is helping me be brave and work on my truck.
Hilarious and i learned! Thanks for the details its importanr.
You made dealing with my 1990 F150 XLT Lariat more fun than it shoulda been. Cheers. Exactly what I needed.
Thanks. I'm glad I could help you out, and make it fun at the same time.
Entertaining and informative. Thanks!
@@RobertSmith-ic2bo Thank you!
You got a new subscriber!
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks so much. Just installed mine. Highly appreciated
Awesome. I hope I was able to help.
Nice job. Same problem on my 1996 f150. Tried junkyard parts but now im going to go all out and use the ninnernet? With the wifes help and amazon myself into this space age parts world.
Hahaha. Good luck on your adventure buddy.
My good sir you earned my subscription
Awesome! Thanks! I know I haven't released a new video in a while, but I'm still here.
great videos thanks for making fun content! God bless !
Thank you!
Very well done helped out w my reval rivets puzzlwd me Thanks Again
Thanks. Glad I could help.
Idiocy is HIGHLY underrated. Bravo!
LOL, Thanks.
Thanks for your video, it really helped.
Awesome. I'm glad I could help.
Hands-on step-by-step! Way better than the manual book thank you brother!😎🤙🏻
No problem. I'm glad it helped!
Brother you saved my life and had me laughing I watched 5 other videos and they wasn’t anything like your! I hope you are a ford man I’m doing a lot to me 93 f150
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it, and it was helpful for you.
Very informative and entertaining. The 'stuff' at the bottom you cleaned out, priceless. I have to, don't want to, do this on my '90 Bronco, so I will be coming back to watch this again. I wonder if the bolts to mount the bracket could be glued/spot welded in place so don't have to get a d@mn wrench in there to help tighten. I don't have meat claws but that looks annoying as hell to tighten. Engineers/designers drive me crazy sometimes. Great video!
I'm glad I was able to help. Honestly getting a wrench back there isn't too hard, especially if you don't have fat hands like me. Whichever way you decide to go, I wish you luck. 👍👍
Thank you! I just ordered the parts to install this myself. Trying to bring back my Grandpa's truck. I appreciate your dedication to safety also.
Thanks! I hope it all works out for you.
Came here too learn how to fix my window and left feeling like I made friend. Thanks bud
I really appreciate that. Thanks.
Very good video👍 definitely earned a like from me
Thank you! I appreciate that.
I want to be this guys sidekick......I'll bring the theme song.
Ha! I literally laughed out loud at all the stuff you pulled out of the door. Fantastic work, sir! Love it.
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. 👍👍
I have the same truck she was abandoned in 01 or 02 and thanks to a video by junk yard mook I saved her now your video has helped me fix the window that never worked for me on the passenger side keep up the vids we could use more people who want to help
I really enjoy watching Junkyard Digs and Junkyard Mook! I'm glad my video was helpful for you. I'm not the best, or the fastest, but I know enough to get in over my head, lol.
Great video
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Good job! I have a 91 Bronco, the darn windows are my nemesis lol. I broke my rear window back in June after i worked on it ALL DAY then the rain started while the w7ndow was stuck half way,when i shut the tailgate it went KABOOM and glass went all the way to the windshield. I was sick. Now with cold weather coming to north Georgia i must spend the money according to my better half lol. GOD BLESS
Sounds like you and I have about the same kind of luck, LOL. I love those bronco's but I feel Ford could have come up with a better hatch.
Funny As Hell but real! Now I don't have to replace my hold Doors. So let me get to work and I hope to see you share more of your work.
I really appreciate your comment. I do plan on making more videos. Just on a dry spell right now. Thanks.
Thanks for the help my '90 F150 had BOTH electric windows fail, shop wanted over $400 to do the work, now I can just do it myself!
Awesome! I'm glad that I can save you a bunch of money. Good luck.
Good video
Thank you!
My window is broken on my brick nose too gonna work on it sooner than later thanks for the step by step really helps us all out
I hope it helps you out. I'm sure it's not perfect, but hopefully it's good enough 👍
Yep, you earned it. I have 87 F150 lariat xlt. Did drivers side electric window years ago. It's out again. Glad you showed some helpful reminders as I am as rusty on them as my my truck top. I recall last time that those small access holes had me coming up with some creative compound 'slang' words but was pleased with finished work. Thanks again.
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I hope it helped you out. Big hands are not a mechanics friend, that's for sure.
Love it man felt like I was out there working on my grandpa's truck I was wanting to see a video just to see what all is entailed to accomplish this task I don't think I could have found a better video. Awesome video man felt like I was outside working on it myself. got a couple good laughs. laid-back, comfortable ,and in a language I can understand. Plus git you some good help there. That's what I'm talkin about. most the time I can't find half of my damn tools when I need them so I'm working with whatever I got within reach. Heck that's how I feel someone can really learn ways of how to make repairs. So when something breaks in the middle of nowhere with a MacGyver special limited tool set rolling around under the seat or in the catchalls under old cigarette butts and melted sticks of gum..they still got faith. It ain't over til it's over. Anyway... Def gotta check out your other videos. Hope your channel does become one of them greats. I'd vote for ya.
Thanks. I really appreciate that. I hope you enjoy some of my other videos as well. I unfortunately have not been able to create new content in a awhile. I've had a LOT of change in my personal life, (including a cross country move). I hope to get back into it ASAP. Thanks again.
Can verify I used every one of these steps and it worked great. Thanks for this video.
Awesome. I'm glad I was able to help. 👍
Thank you brother! Dealing with the same issue. You are most helpful and entertaining!
Thanks! I appreciate that.
Outstanding! Informative & entertaining. Just bought a 1992 F250 w/the 460. Only issue w/the truck...broken driver's door handle & dead driver's window regulator. Time to fix 'em both. -Thank you
Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed my video. Hopefully it helps you out. 👍👍
Thanks for the vid, entertaining and very useful. Now I have a good idea of what to do when I replace mine. 👍
Thanks! I'm glad I could help.
Entertaining and very helpful video. Thanks. My 89 F-250 is getting some love soon.
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
This was a pain in the ass to do but this video made it a bit easier
I'm glad it helped you out. It is a pain in the ass.
Loving the humor! Great video. Thank you
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
So helpful. I bought my part and will be using your video to get it done. Thanks!
Awesome. That's exactly what I'm trying to do with these videos. Inform and entertain. Good luck on your project.
Great job on a pain in the butt repair ! Carey on.
Thanks
I think you need to put the regulator arm in the window slot BEFORE you screw the motor on.
In hindsight... That may have been easier, lol.
Enjoyed watching your window removal. I did think it was funny. After watching your video I felt like there was no other video to watch. I figured you were going to pull out the refrigerator next
Hahaha, thanks. Window removal isn't the most exciting thing to watch. Figured it add a laugh or two.
Lots of cool stuff inside the door!!
It's amazing what you can find sometimes, lol!
Great video thank you! I am going to try the 1/4” nut trick, first in the original window motor first. Then that doesn’t work, I’m doing what you just did TRQ and all for my 94 turbo diesel.
Awesome! I'm glad my video helped you out. Good luck!
Great job, and yes I enjoyed watching.
Thanks!
thank you for the video! My 1990 passenger side window just went out...
No problem. I hope it helped you out.
Yeah both my windows went out
I took my motors apart on my 93 f150 they have like some orange plastic pieces that fell out of each motor I cleaned all the chunks out and put 3 7/16ths nuts in each motor and now my motors work again much faster 2 I saw how I fixed mine on u tube also I didn't have to replace the whole setup just another fyi y'all
Good tips on fixing!! Thanks!
No problem, thanks for the comment!
Gracias, nuevo suscriptor desde 🇲🇽
Gracias!
Thank you you have been very help fully
Thanks. Happy I could help.
Great video very helpful
Thanks. I'm happy it helped.
I think I may be dreading this project even more after watching this but at least I won't be going in blind.
It's not terrible. Just time consuming.
That’s what she said!! 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you very much for this video
No problem, thanks for your comment.
@@LambchopsChopShop my 1990 f150 needs the same repair
I know that is old but...would this be similar to doing the same thing on a 91 Ford Bronco?
Full size Bronco? Yes. I don't know about the smaller Bronco II though.
TRQ....never heard of her. That's funny
Thanks. I do what I can, lol.
Thanks for this video, brother; very helpful. The gears recently stripped out on my 93 F-150, passenger door window regulator. Initially, I was thinking of just changing the gear for $20, as replacing the regulator and dealing with the rivets seemed like a bear to deal with. After watching your video, I realized it was smarter to order/replace the regulator / motor with a new part that should last for several years. One question, what size/length were those bolts you used to secure the regulator to the door? Thanks, again 👏👏💯
Remove speaker for a ton more room!! I did this project today. Sucked ass.
I didn't think of that. I bet it really does open it up a little.
Do you have to grind the studs off on every car? I bought a 91 ford tempo. None of the Windows work. Love your bibs btw💖💃
Every car may be different. Unfortunately I haven't had to do this for a ford tempo, so I can't tell you exactly how they are attached. I would pull the door panel off and get a good look at how its attached. It'd be nice if It was bolted on, but even if it's riveted, it should be similar steps as in my video. Good luck with your car, and thanks... I like my bibs too. Lol.👍👍
@@LambchopsChopShop thank you so much. I'm actually pretty stoked about fixing this little car up. Fyi, I used to wear bibs all the time. Haha
What was the size bolt
The lucky one🤣
thank you so much for the entertainment lol i wanted to help you so bad
Hahaha, thanks.
I noticed that the plastic guide that goes on the sleeve that helps the window stay on the track was a little square but the new one looked rectangular did you change them or did you use the one that came attached to the arm?
I used the new one.
You worked too hard at this. For the rivets, just hit them with a hammer to drive the pins in. They will fall into the door. Then drill the hole left in the rivet with a small drill bit to make sure you are centered and then a 1/4" bit. The rivet washer may spin when drilling but it can be held by putting a small wedge behind it. The 1/4" bit removes all of the rivet without risking damage from a larger bit that everyone else is using. Vacuum the inside bottom of the door to remove debris.
The window does not need to be removed. I put the window all the way up first (mine failed up) and taped it with masking tape (NOT duct tape) over the top of the frame to hold it up. I put a piece of paper towel over the weather stripping so the tape wouldn't stick to it. If it failed down, just do it after the regulator has been loosened.
Attach the regulator to the window glass before bolting the regulator in place and bolt what you can. Manipulate the switch to align the other holes.
I used external star washers on the bolts inside the door. They do a better job of keeping the bolt from turning as you tighten the nut and you may not need to hold the bolt head on the inside at all.
I'll change both sides while I'm at it. Got 2 regulators with motors for $73 on Amazon. $84 each at O'Reilly. Oddly, Ford made my 1990 F350 4 door with power windows for the front only. My power door locks are failing too so I will replace all of the actuators. $60 for a set of 4, also on Amazon.
I found a much easier way of replacing these than what other youtubers are doing.
Work smart, not hard and have fun!
I had tried to hammer the pins in when I did the drivers side first. For some reason the pins didn't want knock out, and I was actually starting to bend the sheet metal. I just made the decision to grind them off after that. You right about the window, I was just my personal choice to remove it. It made it easier to clean it really good off camera. It was pretty nasty. Lots of good information here. Thanks for commenting.
Maybe your rivets were corroded given the mileage. All of mine popped right out with about 3 good blows but my '90 has only 96k miles and is always indoors.
I'll watch for the next video.
Just out of curiosity, why did you replace the entire unit instead of just replacing the little pucks inside the motor?
The motors themselves seemed a little weak, plus the kit I bought came with new felt for the windows, which I needed. I figured I'd feel better with all ne was parts inside.
Dude, you should of worn safety glasses!
Absolutely.
Umm, Taiwan is a part of China. Sort of.
Semantics, Lol.
Why not just drill the rivets out? duh
The stud from the rivet stuck out above the flat part. Kinda hard to keep drill bit on the stud. Duh.
@@LambchopsChopShop from start to finish I had the regulator out in 10 minutes. Including the removing the panel and everything. Don't have to remove the window duh
@@scottmyers8662 That's great. Make a video about so people will watch yours instead of mine.
I, too, am a smart-ass. I didn't realize how annoyong I could be until I saw this video.
Just get to the point. Do the job. The wise-ass comments detract from the task and are actually confusing as to what is real and what is bullshit. I came here for the information not; the humor.
Given that, thanks for posting.
I suggest you watch a "Chris Fix" video. He does a great job. He has no bullshit. He gets in and gets it done with no distractions.
Again, thanks for posting. I did learn something.....albeit between all the BS.
I'm sorry my video wasn't your cup of tea. I am a viewer and subscriber of Chris Fix. I am also a viewer and subscriber of Vice Grip Garage. I'd like to think my videos fall somewhere in between those two channels, (just for the sake of clarity, by this I mean the information to humor ratio, not the quality of the video. I have a long way to go before I'm up with those titans). Anyway way, I appreciate your comment, and I'm glad you were still able to learn something... albeit between all the BS.
@@LambchopsChopShop First time I saw your channel and loved the humor and information. I'm trying to figure out how to fix a motor on a 1997 Ford Explorer, after I figure how to get it out without the regulator. Do those wires just unplug from the regulator? I just subscribed. Keep doing what your doing.
@@janej813 Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately I'm not too familiar with Ford Explorers. That being said I would assume that the wires would unplug from the regulator somehow. It's hard to tell with out being able to see it.
@@LambchopsChopShop Thanks again for your information. I got the motor out, the wires were at the bottom under the plastic. Tomorrow I'll get the part to replace the chewed up plastic bearing things.
@@janej813 Awesome. Good luck.
