Motor is on the top of the passenger side firewall. Does not often fail. Cheapest replacement would be to pull one from a junk yard. Read the FSM cuz I believe you have to remove the linkage from under the drain grill.

There are position switches that complete the circuits as the motor moves. If you went through two switches that is what next I would be looking at.

Since the position switches are in the motor; the only way to fix the problem is to rebuild or replace the motor.

next time send them to me, I'll give you $10 each for them (working or not) or can rebuild them for you (check out my website for details)
