1987 Lincoln Town Car Window regulator

ELECTRIC MOTOR Removal & Installation 1. Raise window to full up position (if possible) and support. Disconnect battery ground cable. Remove inner door trim panel and protective cover. 2. Locate and mark area of door panel covering motor mounting screws. Some models may have dimples over mounting screw locations. Disconnect motor wiring connector. Ensure that no wires are routed directly under mounting screw areas. 3. On Sable and Taurus models, remove 2 forward regulator mounting plate rivets. Remove 3 electric motor mounting screws. On all other models, using a 3/4" hole saw with a 1/4" pilot, drill inner door panel to expose motor mounting screws. Remove drilled metal and shavings from door. 4. Lock regulator arm in a fixed position to prevent the counterbalance spring from unwinding. Remove the motor mounting screws and remove motor. To install, reverse removal procedure. If the regulator needs to be changed remove motor and regulator as a unit, be careful when you seperate the motor from the reg, it's spring loaded and will slap your wrists! Tie it and remove motor, then relieve the tension.
