Window motors the same?

[Jimblyb]

The front passenger window on my '95 Mistral TD has been jammed shut with wood. I had the trim off yesterday and while there is power to the plug, the motor does nothing, so assume dead. Can anyone tell me if the winder motor and mechanism for a Mistral/Terrano I is the same as for a later model please?

Would open up more possibilities on the 'bay if so. Unless anyone on here has one for sale, of course. Would prefer that option...

Many thanks,

Jim

It's probably not dead!!! The motor mechanism worm drive just ceases up as it winds itself up to max torque when the glass gets to the top. If you take it apart and release the tension created by the worm drive then it will work again ..... for a few months or so. Grease it up well and this seems to prevent it happening again.
