Re: [Chrysler300] '61 G driver power window motor. Any out there!?

Hi Brandt;
Both emails went thru.

FIRST: BEFORE REMOVING THE MOTOR FROM THE WINDOW ASSY, CLAMP THE SPRING 
LOADED ARM TO THE FRAME WITH A GOOD PAIR OF VICE-GRIPS AND PUT BOLTS IN 
THE HOLES IN THE ASSY (AS A SAFETY) TO PREVENT THE ARM FROM VIOLENTLY 
AND RAPIDLY MOVING. IT CAN KILL!!  LOCK IT DOWN!	I literally have a 
visible dent in my forehead from just this. And I knew better! I was 
working on my '65 Chrysler 300L. Fortunately I was holding the frame in 
my hand while I pulled the motor off and when the arm hit my noggin, 
the frame flew out of my hand. If it had been in a vice, it would have 
split  my skull or worse.

  These are "use it or lose it" items. Usually you use only the drivers 
window and never the rear ones. but you should use them weekly to keep 
them alive.
Marshall is correct. The Commutator (Copper) segments end up with 
corrosion on them and the brushes cant get current thru to run the 
motor. Use a broken Hacksaw blade to clean the slot between the 
Commutator (Copper) segments. Just clean it out and cut down about 
1/16" into the slot. Use fine sandpaper on the Copper segments to clean 
them.
Also check the gear, usually plastic, they wear out or strip. This is 
usually the only thing that goes bad, other than brushes wearing out. 
You can get metal gears but it's been to long for me to remember where. 
Some motors had them.
