You should see three star screws, Remove these and the motor should come off. Check the plastic plugs in the motor and replace with plugs or ball bearings, pack with wheel bearing grease. You may have a defective window regulator. To remove. using a /14 inch punch punch out the rivits and replace with 1/4 nuts and bolts. Drill out the aluminum inserts using 1/4 drill. When replacing the regulator do not over tighten the bolts holding in the glass.

To properly answer your question I would need to know if you're Ford Explorer is an early build or a late build. Early builds use a GEM Controlled System and the late builds use a ICM Controlled System to operate the power windows. Here is a link to how your power windowsoperate on your vehicle.

Ford explorer 2002 front passenger window

You don't repair the cable. It is part of what is called the widow regulator. Call your parts store and check the prices. It will vary so call around. Some times you can order it without the motor, but often the cost with and without is not much different and it is better to get it as one unit.

Hope this helps.

How do I fix the problem of all 4 power windows

See if you have power coming out of the master power window switch when a button is pushed down. Remove a door panel and check for power at the window motor with the switch pushed. If you do not have power it could be the master switch. Good luck.

My drivers side electric window stop working 2002 ford sport trac. how do you change the motor

To remove the door panel, phillips head door screws should be removed, and the panel should slide up. Next, unbolt the window from the regulator and remove the window from the door. Then unbolt the regulator. The regulator and the motor have to be removed together. The motor will be mounted to the door on the inside. There should be three screws or nuts (10mm) holding the motor in. Remove motor and regulator. Reverse to reinstall.
