Hi, I'm Mike Green, I'm one of the owners of 1AAuto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20 plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts installed correctly, that's going to save you, time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video, we'll be showing you how to replace a window motor in this 1997 Toyota Camry, same as any '97 to '01 Camry. The tools you'll need, small and medium or large regular screwdrivers, Phillips screwdriver, a putty knife or door panel clip tool, a 10mm wrench or socket ratchet and a T25 size Torx screwdriver. To replace your window motor, you obviously need to pull off the door panel and remove the window regulator. We both have a door panel removal and a regulator video. If you just look at other videos that are in the Camry playlist, you'll see those videos, but you probably can pick up enough from this fast motion to see the door panel is a few screws and some clips, and you pull it off, and the regulator is five or six 10mm bolts, unplug it and pull it out.
Bear with it for another about 30, 40 seconds or so, and we'll get to the window motor, pulling it off the regulator and put it back on. Again, if you want to see the door panel and the window regulator in regular motion, just check out our other videos, thank you. Here is your regulator of the car. You can see it has a balance spring on it. We don't need to be too concerned about the balance spring. You can see here, it does have some tension on it, but it's just a regular set of pliers. I guess I come a little strong, but see especially in this down position, there's not a whole lot of tension on there. Even if I you have that and then really, even with that, you see I put that spring back on. You can really remove this window, or I mean a window motor without worrying too much about that balance spring.
I use my cordless drill here. You can see, the motor comes off there. This spring provides some tension, especially when you're going this way. It's more difficult, and then when it goes this way would be to go up, it helps it that way, so it's more difficult that way. You can see, there's not so much tension on there that it's going to fling anything. Obviously, I wouldn't put your fingers in there when you're taking it apart or anything. That balance spring, it's not so tight that it's going to launch something somewhere. You can remove your window motor, put it right back down here. Make sure the teeth get in there a little bit the other way, I guess screw it back in you can twist that a little bit, get your other two screws.
I got those screws in. I'm going to check, make sure they're good and tight. I would do it by hand, not with my drill, that way I know for sure that they're tight. Now, we're going to put it back in the door.
With that done, we're just going to do fast motion through putting in the window regulator. We hope this helps you out. Remember to check out 1AAuto.com for all your parts needs.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace a rear power window motor on this '99 Toyota 4Runner, pretty much the same as any '96 to '02 4Runner. The tools you'll need for the job include a flat blade screwdriver (both regular and small sizes), Phillips screwdriver, door panel clip tool or a putty knife, and 10mm and T25 Torx sockets with a ratchet.
To remove your door panel, pry up on your window switch and then there's a little tab here, remove that. Pry up on your arm rest as well, just work the screwdriver in under there and it comes up and off. Remove a Phillips screw here. On the back, there's a little tab, just push it in with your screwdriver and pull that clip out. There's one on the front as well. Now you can go around the edges with the door panel clip tool and just put this behind. Now you want to push your door handle forward and bring it out. There's a little clip back here. Undo the clip and lift up. I'm going to speed it up.
You want to carefully remove your water shield, although I am going through it in fast-forward. Do this carefully, you want to try not to rip it or tear it. You want to try and stretch as little as possible. Here you can see I removed the four Phillips screws that hold the speaker in place and take the speaker off. I'm actually not even sure if that was necessary but I did it because sometimes you have to reach through that hole to replace the window from the window regulator. Then just finish up removing the water shield.
We're going to unplug the lead for the window motor which is right here. Press in on a little tab up here and remove that. Just use our screwdriver and pry out the door clip here. A 10mm socket and ratchet, we're going to remove the four bolts that hold the window regulator. When removing this last one, hold onto your window. There's the regulator, take it and slide it down some and slide the regulator out. Pull it up and out.
With your regulator removed, there are three T25 screws that hold the motor on. Just speed up the film here as we just remove those three screws. There's the motor off. Again, there's nothing wrong with our motor, just doing this to show you.
The replacement motor from 1A Auto is exactly the same. They come with the same connector and everything. To put it back on, you want to start all of your bolts first. We'll speed it up here again. I start in the bolts first, tighten them up by hand, and then tighten them up nice and firm with the ratchet.
Here I'm lifting. I lift the window up and then I put the regulator into place. Once the regulator is in place, then I slide the window down. The arm has a little slide, you just slide the assembly right into the track on the window. You slide the regulator into the track on the window and then you lift up the whole regulator and window at the same time. Line up the holes, start your bolts that hold the regulator to the door, and then tighten them up nice and firm.
Now we just reconnect the lead and put the clip back in the door and in the next shot. I've turned the key on and I just run a little test, up and down, to make sure everything is working correctly.
Speeding up again, disconnect that switch, bring the water shield back up carefully, and make sure it goes on. What I do is I get the harnesses in place, get it around the door latch rod, and find a spot that lines it up with one of the holes that's in the shield and then stick it back on. Also put my speaker back on, the four Phillips screws, put it in place nice and firm, and reconnect the speaker.
Before you put your door panel back on, make sure you pull out any clips. Sometimes they stay in the door. Just clip them back into your door panel. Make sure you lift your lock rod up and it's in the right place here. It should be right in there.
Your door panel goes up, press the panel against the window, bring it down, and make sure your lock comes through. Latch it down, just make sure we can get our window harness. Now make sure all your clips are in place. Put your door handle, you have to fish your latch rod out and pull it out, put the door handle down on top of it. I'll just use my small screwdriver, push that clip and lock it on, click in place, and slide it back. Fast-forward as we put that Phillips screw in at the door handle and then the two underneath the arm rest. You can put this back in place. Then for these little clips, push the center out, put it in, lock it in place.
