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.

Brought to you by 1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts, and the best service on the Internet. Hi, I'm Mike Green. I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my twenty plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts, installed correctly -- that's going to save you time and money. Thank you, and enjoy the video. In this video we're going to show you how to replace the front window motor on this 2000 Lincoln Town Car, same as any 98-02. Only tools you'll need are a Phillips screwdriver, and a T30 Torx bit and driver.
Door panel removal ... it's fairly simple. On this vehicle, this door panel has been taken apart a bunch of times, so some of the fasteners may be different for you. For example, it has a screw here which I believe most cars probably don't. The reason it has a screw here I believe is because so many of the pins in behind that hold it are broken. But where you want to start is remove your door lock knob just by unscrewing it. Then in under here should be two ... on this vehicle they're Phillips screws. And you just kind of put your screwdriver up under there. Now there's another Phillips screw up in here. And this pulls out. And then right in here you'll see there's another Phillips screw that goes into the door panel. As you can tell, I've been fast forwarding when I just get to the monotonous stuff. So you remove that screw, and then there's another screw next to the rear side of the pull. Then at the bottom, there's two more Phillips screws. It's kind of a little indent in the carpet. Just put your screwdriver in there, twist it a little bit, and you'll get the screw. This car has a little Torx screw here. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be there or not. I'll remove it. This may not be on all cars. Then there is another screw here, but this is broken on my car so I know there's no screw in there. And then what there is is there's a series of clips.
So you would want to work your hand underneath here. And there's one clip right here. And get your hands close to those. You can slide your hand underneath and you slide it over and you feel it getting tighter and tighter. And then you give a good pull and get that clip out. And then go up here on top and give a good pull. Another clip there. And then on these vehicles there's more clips. There's clips in the middle and more on the edge. But like I said, this vehicle's been apart a few times. Actually before you pull the door panel off, you want to pull your window switch up in the front and then pull it out. And then there's a series of harnesses that just have little tabs. You press the tab, pull the harness down. Okay this gray one ... tab, pull it down. Tab here on the black one. And then a tab here for the brown one. Now pull the panel away, and then a few more harness connections back here. Couple of small harnesses with a black and white connector. Press the little button here, pull that apart. It's a blue connector here that has a tab on it that you pull the wires of the blue connector, pull the tab out. There's a gray connector here. Okay again, get tab, pull apart. Looks like the screw is not quite all the way out. And your door panel is off. So you can see here I'm holding back the water shield. You may have noticed on the other clip that on this car somebody has just cut the water shield. There should be a shield covering that whole large open area. You'll want to pull your water shield back carefully, because you do want to save it because it does protect your door panel from getting aged too quickly by water and dirt. To remove your car window motor, your lead is right here. Press on this tab, pull the lead up and out.
And then there's three T30 Torx screws right here. You remove the bottom two and your loosen the top one. Once you've loosened that top one, reach in behind, and you slide the whole motor and cable assembly out. You pull all the way out to here, and actually just finish removing this. And then the motor comes off. A new window motor from 1A Auto. You can see the function will be exactly the same as the old one. Everything is the same. It looks a little different, but the most important thing is the connectors are the same and they'll mount the same. To install it, what you'll want to do is reach in and pull your gear back like that. You want to put the motor in. Push it into the transmission, and then we'll start this bolt up here. Now you want to look right through this hole and bring that screw into place. As you can see I've got it in place there, and I've got the holes pretty well lined up there, so I can put the two other screws in. You want to pull your lead through and reconnect. So here I'm just going to speed up putting the door panel back on just to keep the video at somewhat of a manageable length. If you wanted to see this part of the process in regular speed, just check out all the videos for the Lincoln Town Car door panel, remove and replace.

Motor did not function properly, it had a grinding sound coming from it.
As always , quality parts at competitive prices. excellent repair video.
it fit perfectly
I have a 2001 Lincoln town car that the drivers window did not go up or down. After several occasions where that was necessary I needed to get it fixed. Not knowing exactly what was wrong or how to fix it I went to Google and found 1A Auto. The how to videos were spot on and the price of the part was unbelievable, much less than I expected. The customer service was great and the free shipping was even greater. The part was in my hand and on my car within a week. My wife and I now can enjoy the summer breeze and no more embarrassing events. Thank you 1A Auto !
Yes, these parts are interchangeable for both doors.
Usually if you can hear the motor working - it's ok and the regulator needs to be replaced. Sometimes on this model motor the plastic safety bushings in the motor break from age and they can be replaced with 7/16" nuts to fix but you must take the motor apart - not a difficult task.
