WINDOW MOTOR NEW VS. OLD

After I had my original window motor overhauled a 2nd time, it still spun out under tension going up.  The gearing had not been repaired, just the motor.  So, I ended up putting the USA Parts new motor back in again.  With some sanding and careful grounding, it worked and was much stronger in the long run.  So, in fairness to USA Parts, their piece did work, but only after grounding.  Luckily I did this under supervision since I didn't really have the right electrical connectors to make it right. 

It works- but as always, it becomes a "quest" not just a "job" or a "mission."
