Does anyone know where I can pick up new power window motors and switches,for a 1965 Dodge Monaco.
WARNING! WARNING!Dorman 742-300 for the left side and 742-301 for the right side. Front and rear use the same motor. They don't show it for your car but Mopar used the same window motors up into the 90's. The only difference is usually the electrical plug (the Dorman one I listed comes with adapters) and some have support brackets and some don't. The Dorman motors are much smaller/lighter so if yours have a bracket, you won't need it.
Autozone and Summit list them for $39. Advance wants $75. Thinking that must be a typo.

WARNING! WARNING!
MOST of the problems with PW motors is not with the motor but with the worn plastic gear a/o "pucks" . The replacement motors do NOT come with them even though the illustration of them show the motor assemblies with them.
I agree, but usually before the gear goes bad, the pucks inside the gear brittle apart. You can replace them easily. I made new pucks from much more durable material and should be good for the rest of the cars (or my) life.
Good luck.
These motors are brand new and are complete. I have a set. The motors also don't resemble the originals appearance wise.

Where did you buy yours? Did they have the correct pigtail?
My 300/301's from RA came naked, as well as the ones from AZ.
F#$&. I cant remember. Lol. I'll have to check when I go out to the shop.Were the motors original style Stan, or the Denso type I posted?

I only benchtested them, obviously ;) But they are working flawlessly!caught that piece in your build thread...how are they working?
I think the refurbished OEM-style units come without gears, like this one. The newer non-OEM-looking motors come with gears, allegedly "ready to install".F#$&. I cant remember. Lol. I'll have to check when I go out to the shop.
You were correct. I got the refurbs...I think the refurbished OEM-style units come without gears, like this one. The newer non-OEM-looking motors come with gears, allegedly "ready to install".
If you don't want to fabricate your own puks to repair your original power window motor (gears), you can shell out $ 21 and buy a repair kit here
DO NOT REMOVE MOTOR FROM REGULATOR INSIDE THE DOOR!!
So didn't read this closely and guess what made this mistake today
Couldn't get the complete regulator and motor out of the 70 as one piece so off comes the motor and sproing goes the spring!! Ok so best way to correct this now that it is all apart?
