Problem for BMW 2001 325

Window motor expired.




By donnyboy204b on Apr 09, 2009

" "
I bought a used 1986 BMW 325e and the front passenger window wouldn't go up or down. I took the door panel off and checked all the wiring, etc. After testing everything I could think of I ended up buying a brand new Bosch window motor, original equipment. There are no instructions, diagrams, or anything that came with the new motor. I took my door panel back off today and I'm really stumped as how to install this new motor. First of all the old motor is pressed onto or welded right onto the regulator so how do I remove the old motor ? How do I fasten the new motor onto the regulator ? I first took my door apart last year, now I have an electrical plug fastened to the bottom of the door but I can't remember what it plugged into. The motor is about 12'' higher than the plug so I must've lost a section of wire ? This is becoming a lot more of a problem than I thought. Can anyone please help me ?
Thanks

If you look very closely, the motor does unscrew from the regulator. However, getting the regulator is a bi***. Remove all the bolts to loosen the regulator and carefully work it around towards the biggest opening. The neumatic little hose is bendable, but be careful. Prior to doing this, remove a switch from another door to elimate a faulty switch. The plug comes down from above. You need to stick your hand inside the door well to find it. If you need the regulator too. just go down to the junk yard and practice removing the motor and regulator.
