Power Window Motor Purchasing Tips

First off, what is a cars power window motor?

A cars power window motor is a device that's housed inside your door panel, included with your window regulator. These parts are connected via fuses and wires to your vehicles window switches, allowing you to open and close your windows with the click of a button.

Window motors attach to a switch and gears to deliver the upward and downward movement of your power window.

Window motors are only compatible with cars equipped with automatic power windows.

How Much Does a New Window Motor Cost?

Our car and truck window motor prices range from $20 to $150 on average. Add a two hour installation from a mechanic at $100 - $150 per hour, your total cost would be anywhere from $220 to $450.

Keep in mind that total cost will be influenced based on vehicle type (car, truck, SUV, or EV) along with year, make, model, and motor brand of your choice.

No matter what you do, you'll easily save over 50% off your window motor replacement cost shopping at Parts Geek VS. a local parts store or dealership.

Symptoms of a Bad Window Motor

The most common symptoms indicating a failing car window motor are:

1. Slow moving windows when switch is pressed to up or down position, operating "weakly"

2. Window is completely unresponsive to window switch, and won't move at all

3. Hearing a repeating clicking noise when pressing the window switch, accompanied by very slow window movement or none at all

4. Unresponsive window movement even while motor is active

5. A burning smell coming from your door panel after operating power windows

You’ll need to do a bit of disassembly and take a look at the window parts found behind the interior door panel to make sure it's just your window motor and not the entire regulator assembly.

Once that is removed and the window regulator and switch wires are checked out and determined to be in working order, then it is pretty safe to assume the problem lies in the motor itself.
