Dorman 742-251 Power Window Lift Motor Compatible with Select Models

Well, when I bought the motor for the driver's door of my Bronco I also got this one for my passenger's door or tailgate, whichever failed first. It ended up being the Tailgate. Installing it was a pain because the tailgate can be hard to work on if you don't remove the glass (I wasn't home and had nowhere to place the glass), and I actually had to cut part of the nylon webbing on the head of the motor in order to make it fit, which I might or not have avoided if I flipped it. Only 2 out of the 3 bolts lined up, the 3rd one would require some drilling, but it's doable. I added some pictures of the cuts as a guide for any other Bronco owners, so far it's been 7 months and I haven't had any problems with this. I also had to splice and join the connector for a cleaner install. After all was said and done I once again have a working tailgate glass, but this motor is a little smaller and less powerful than the OEM part, just don't fool too much with it and it will last, of course, since you already got in there, take the time to lube all the moving parts of the mechanism, and the rubber in the weather stripping. These little motors are durable, the one in my driver side door (see my review here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R2V2SM3LBGXKLS/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B000C11JSE ) already has almost 5 years in there and works great.As already stated, this one will work on some Fords or in my case, in my Bronco's passenger door or tailgate (with some mods), the one for your driver side window is this one: Dorman 742-250 Window Lift Motor

I'm using this for my 1995 Ford Bronco. When I did the search I didn't notice that Amazon recommends both 742-250 and 742-251 for the drivers side window.I spent to hot days trying to make it work, with my arm shoved into a small opening in the door up to the elbow. A very frustrating situation. Then I set the new motor down next to the old. That's when I realized I had the passenger side motor (they are different). I went back did the search again and found the 742-251 and ordered it. In both case they got the motor to me one day. So I can't fault them on that. And needless to say the new motor went in, in about ten minutes. Crazy, but very happy, eventually. I called Amazon customer service, not about the return, that's easy with Amazon. I called them to alert them about the situation with the part numbers and their search algorithms. They say they'll do something about it... BUT, be careful. And if your part doesn't seem to fit. Recheck your search. The first time I was sure I'd gotten it right only to find I had bad info.The motor itself works very well now that it's installed. Quiet and smooth. They include new wiring. I assume that's incase you damage a connector getting the old motor out.I would buy again. But I'd be more careful. And if things seemed wrong I'd check sooner. Good Luck!

Good quality items solid works great once in but there were not directions so had to look them up but would purchase again if needed.

Fit and worked as expected.

Plug and play in a bronco. My original motor stop working because the inside turned into mush. I could have fixed it but I decided it was easier to try this one as it was cheap. This is the same motor sold by Bronco Graveyard and other suppliers.Positives- strongJust 2 negatives- the screws are threaded into plastic housing so before you install the motor, go ahead and thread it once while outside to cut the threads- the wire could have been just 1 inch longer. It was barely enough. I did not have to cut or splice anything though so thats a plus.

motor is weak, very weak, but it does get the job done, also the bolt pattern on the mount is different than on my 84 bronco, i had to drill a new hole in my OEM mechanism to get the PLASTIC mount screwed on.meanwhile, i am going to rebuild my old motor and use it again, i have about a dozen oem cores so i predict this will turn out well.

Works great on my 95 Ford F150

It works but you can only get 2 bolts and not the original 3 to fit. Center hole is not in the correct position. 1992 f-250
