In this video, we're going to show you how to replace a rear power window motor on this 2000 Lincoln Town Car, same as any '98 to '02. The tools you'll need are a flat blade screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, a T20 Torx driver, a T30 Torx driver . and you'll most likely need a socket and ratchet style ., and a putty knife or a door panel clip tool.

Use a regular screwdriver. Pry up on the front of this panel here and that should come up and forward. Mine's been broken, so . . Then, underneath, there is a tab that you press to disconnect. Now, you need a T20 Torx bit, and there are screws up underneath here. The screws in this were T20, although your car could vary. It could have Phillips head screws in it. Then this pulls out, and there are Phillips head screws behind here, and a Phillips head screw in behind here. Then, right in here you'll see a little slot in the door panel carpet, and there should be a Phillips head screw right in there. It might be easier just to remove your lock knob. I use just a household putty knife, put it in behind here, and go until I can't go. It popped that. Ooh, out comes a frog. That's interesting. It must've been some passenger's toy. Do the same thing here in the front. There are some more clips in the middle. Now the panel comes off. There is a little harness here that you just pry up and disconnect. Then there's your panel off. You can see here, this car's already had some work done to it, so somebody's already cut the water shield down, which is fine.

Here's your lead. Lift up and pull out. There are three T30 Torx screws that hold the window motor in. There's the three of them, one up top, middle, and then the bottom.I'm going to use the T30 Torx driver with a ratchet and extension. I'm going to speed up. You do remove the top two screws and you just loosen the bottom one, as you'll see. This one, the bottom one, you only need to loosen.

Once you have those bolts undone, you reach in. I'm feeding my harness in. I'm going to turn my motor a little bit counterclockwise and then pull the motor side through, like that. Now you can see there's the bolt still on there. I'll remove that. Now, you want to reach in here and, as I pull this out, you can see there's some cable. You want to pry that wheel back in. You don't want that to pull out of there. I just keep prying at different clock positions of that gear until eventually that comes off and my motor can come out.

Now to get that back in, pull your gear assembly right out like that. Put the motor down in. So, we put the motor down in, insert it into the gear. Now, you want to start this screw here. Just kind of move it around until it gets going in there. Tighten it up some. Now, let the motor go in and then put the motor in. You can look through this bottom hole and you can see that screw come up and pull it into place. You see the hole? Start your other two screws. Before you tighten anything up, bring your lead out. Make sure it's all nice and free. We can reconnect it. Tighten these big bolts. We'll fast forward through tightening those up. You want to make sure they're nice and firm. They don't have to be too tight, though. Just do a test. Let's plug our window back in.

Just for the sake of keeping the video somewhat short, I'm going to fast forward through putting the door panel back together. If you wanted to see this in regular speed, just check out our other videos for the Lincoln Town Car rear door panel removal and installation.
