The 65 motors are different then the 63. They changed in 64.
Thats too bad, because the 60-63 motors are a snap to remove & install. Not
so on the 64-66. Plus, the 64-66 usually also have the slow running problem as
well.

Subject: IML: Window Motor Maladies
There was a good thread on here a few weeks ago about
windows. There is also some great information on the IML site in the
repair section.
I'm not sure if the '65 motors are the same as my '63's
motors, but I pulled the front passenger side motor out last week to attempt a
repair. Prestolite cleverly dip-coated the end housing of the motor to
ensure that no water would escape, once it inevitably leaked past the
shaft. The motor was a solid block of rust.
After removing
the rubber coatings I was able to disassemble the motor. The bushings
were seized to the armature, and came out of the end-plates. After alot
of cleaning, aligning, repair of the brush holder, re-soldering etc., the
motor checked out okay electrically. I just could not get everything
aligned to the point that it spins freely. Things inside must have moved
around as a result of the rust, or perhaps freezing. I guess I don't
have the patience or finesse to align this thing. At any rate, I've
given up on this one.
Don't be put-off by my effort, though. You
may just have dirty brushes or it may just be "stuck". Check out the
information in the repair section of the IML, then let us know how you made
out.
And if you get real good at it, send me your address. I'll
send you mine to fix!

Hi List... I have a problem with my power
windows on my 65 Crown. The
windows on the drivers side work fine, but
the passenger side does not work
at all. The power vents didn't work
either. I used a test light and
determined that there is now electricity
going to the switch and I checked
the fuses-there OK. Does anybody have
any ideas on what I should
