Window regulator motor cable placement

Good evening,

Why did you remove the cables? They should never be touched as they should be spring loaded.

Did they come off?

Roy

One cable came off.this is what I need to know on the spool they have two inserts one at the top for one cable and one at the bottom for the other cable. When the window goes up what cable goes on the top insert? And to make the window go down where do you place that cable?

It is one cable that connects to each end. when the motor runs, it moves the whole cable which drives the regulator up or down.

there are not two separate cables, they is only one cable.

Roy

On my Crown Victoria there is two cables one makes the window go up and one that makes the window go down. One is short the other is long. Does the short cable go on the top insert?

yes.

Thank you so much. I have been pulling my hair out with this. It got dark on me when I disconnected them.

You are welcome.

Always glad to help.

Have you ever been to New Orleans? That is where I live. If you ever get a chance, grab up the family and come see the Mardi Gras.

I teach down there two times a year. I travel all over the country on site and have been there.
Good town, good times.

I have a 2001 Nissan Xterra do you know a better way to replace the knock sensor which is located under the intake manifold without removing the intake?

Since this is another vehicle, please go to the beginning and start a new question. that is site rules.
