I just redid it, I thinks it's better, (Facebook has been acting weird for me lately).It does‘t work but I did see that ad the other day and it’s not a bad deal iirc..
If I didn’t already have a few pairs in working order I’d probably have bought them.That's an amazing deal.
Yea, I would too.... About a 45 min drive from me too.If I didn’t already have a few pairs in working order I’d probably have bought them.
I think you should buy the ones in the link before I do because that is considerably less than I would sell them for but I do appreciate your angle.@Big_John
Do you have a comparable/tested pair you would be willing to sell me at that guy's price?
I'd rather give the $$ to you than a stranger.
I rebuilt one. It's not very hard.I didn't get them.
I first inquired at 8:59 if he still had them, offered $80 (they'd been listed for a week, he declined my offer), I asked for a shipping quote and to pay by Paypal at 9:48.
Then they were marked as sold and at 10:06 he's offering me a non-functioning one for $30 and a working one with a crack at a TBD price.
He didn't give me a shipping quote on the 1st set nor these (he has my zipcode).
I presume he either had someone in the hopper already and was using me for a backup, or these sold previously and he's using the in-op ones as a bait-switch FOMO.
I have 2 needs-work spares, I don't need 4 in the same condition.
If I ever get in a real jam there are reman and retrofits on ebay periodically.
I don't think there's much that can go wrong. The weak points are the drive gear and the brushes. Brush issues seems to be across the board with power window and headlight door motors. Usually clean up of the commutator and brushes will do the trick.Thanks for the link, I had read that thread in the past and is where I learned that the Caddy stuff interchanges.
I ohm'd both my spares and electrically they are shorted (or Open, I don't really remember) so I think they are not fixable without donor parts.
So the lower-priced motors from that guy might've been beneficial, but I'm not sure if I got played, so I've moved on.
The ones in my car work and will get greased and gear evaluation next time I go into the doors, which will be for the PW motors.
