Installation

1. Install the power window regulator motor assembly. Apply MP grease to the sliding and rotating parts of the regulator assembly. If the jam protection does not function properly, perform the following procedure: It is necessary to reset the power window motor (in the initial position for the limit switch) when separating the window regulator from the power window motor or operating the window regulator with the door glass not installed. Place matchmarks on the power window motor and window regulator gear. Remove the power window motor. Connect the power window motor and power window switch to the wiring harness of the vehicle. Turn the ignition switch ON and operate the power window switch to idle the power window motor in the up side direction for more than 6 rotations or less than 10 rotations (4 seconds or more). Assemble the power window motor and regulator. The motor should be installed when the regulator arm is in the middle, not around the upper end (more than 1.97 in. (50 mm) clearance is necessary from the upper end). Align the matchmarks on the power window motor and window regulator gear when installing the power window motor. Assemble the power window regulator and door glass. Never rotate the motor to the down direction until the installation of the window glass is completed.
2. Install the front door window regulator sub-assembly. Install the temporarily installed bolt securely. Install the temporarily installed bolt to the window regulator to the front door panel and install the front door window regulator temporarily. Tighten the 5 bolts and the temporarily installed bolt.

3. Install the front door glass sub-assembly. Install the front door glass with the 2 bolts. When the installation point of the front door glass does not match, adjust the regulator position by manual operation: Connect the power window switch to the wiring harness and turn the ignition switch ON. Repeat UP and DOWN operation several times manually. Check if AUTO UP - AUTO DOWN operates in the automatic operation. Note that the jam protection does not operate just after resetting. Reset the regulator again when performing the reverse operating after closing the window fully by AUTO UP operation.
4. Inspect the power window function. See «POWER WINDOW CONTROL SYSTEM»(ref-152599-S17562537282003021400000) under FUNCTION TESTS.
