The Crown Vics ETC Blog: Ford Crown Victoria Vic window motor

Welcome to the Crown Vics ETC blog!

On April 6, 2000, I purchased a 1998 Ford Crown Victoria LX HPP with 23,490 miles. I decided to start a little website for it featuring a running log of my experiences with the car. Vic 1.0 was retired in 2015 due to rust and electrical issues. Vic 2.0 was a 2006 P71 in Blue Pearl that belonged to my boyfriend. It was a Ford demo and never saw actual police use. It was damaged in September of 2018 with well over 186,000 miles. It was replaced by Vic 3.0 in October 2018, a 2008 P71 in Silver Birch with 120,971 miles.

9/22/10 UPDATE: Window Pains...

I finally bought and installed a new window motor for Vic's rear-passenger door. Thankfully, Todd (aka: Mystery Mechanic) had bought me a bunch of tools a long time ago. The bolts holding the old motor in were those star/hexy things. I put the right bit in a ratchet, and out the bolts came. The hard part was getting the pump off the regulator. After much prying, off it came. Installing the new motor was a lot simpler. Though there was one drawback...

The window still won't work. That means I will most likely STILL have to take it somewhere to get it fixed. Not happy...

Mom's Town Car is in the body shop having it's side-swipe repaired. I wonder how it will come out...

Works better with a ratchet...
