Motor Lift

  1. Connect positive lead of test battery to either of the 2 terminals of motor. Connect other lead to remaining terminal. Motor should now rotate in one direction to move window up or down.
  2. If window is in up position, and leads are connected so motor rotates in up direction, no movement should occur. The reverse holds if leads are connected so motor rotates in down direction, and window is already down.
  3. Reverse battery leads. Window should now move in desired direction. If not, remove motor and replace. If motor moved window, reverse leads again and ensure that motor moves window in both directions.
