My driver's side motor is facing death. It's still trying, but putting up a lousy-*** fight.

Are there any other options for stronger or better window motors that aren't as prone to burning out? I don't want to pay to put another stocker in there if I know the part is too weak for the job of taking on a window that large.

I have had no problems with the Siemens I bought from Autozone for around $50 that came with a lifetime warranty.

Yeah, I was going to go that route.

Wanted to double check and see if there's any other options. Could a Ford motor possibly work? The windows in my 13 year old Cougar are twice as fast as my Firebird's.

My passenger side motor is on its last legs... How hard is it to replace?

I put the one from AutoZone in mine about 6 months ago. I have had no problems goes up allot faster then it used to. It’s a real easy job to do. There is a rite up somewhere but I lost it. Just look around it should not be too hard to find.

If the LS1's are the same as the LT1's (as far as window motor placement) here's a link:

My motor is out too, i'm going to AutoZone tomorrow morning and pick up a Siemens. I'll post back tomorrow if I get it done.
Thanks Bastardcat for posting Shoebox's link.....I wouldn't have tried doing the replacement without it. Saves me $$$

It's not too hard to do. But takes a good amount of time and labor, usually takes a few hours to do it if it's your first time. Well worth doing it yourself for $50 in parts instead of going to the dealer and be charged $300+.

These are the best directions.

This is crazy! I got up and was gunna go to AutoZone but I didn't have any pants to work in. I Went to Wal-Mart and bought some then off to AutoZone. I tried my power window just hoping it would work and HOLY CRAP IT DID. I know it wasn't the switch or the wires that were wrong. The motor had all signs it was bad too. Its just unexplainable......maybe its that player I been saying?
