I'd much rather be repairing my mid Ford, but would like another carburetor to install on it, money is currently delegated to my 99 but I'd just about like to sell the damn thing. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 2,847 Likes: 42 veteran | OP veteran Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 2,847 Likes: 42 | Went to install a 4 pin trailer wiring harness. Found the previous owner had one installed at one point and used those wire taps, which had severed half the copper stranding of the wire they tapped.
Anyway replaced a lot of the wiring and cleaned everything up so it is water tight as I know most taillight issues are caused by the trailer wiring going bad. | | | Re: What Did You do To your Van Today? | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 559 | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 559 |

When I bought the van, the drivers window did not work, and a few days, maybe a week later, the passenger side stopped working too. You could still hear the motor running strong in both directions, but the window never moves, so I figured it MIGHT be the drive gear.
I did some searching on line and found out the drive gear assembly has three eraser sized plug inside it that act like planetary gears and that these tend to go bad. After some more searching, I found that the HELP section has these plugs for $8.00 for a three pack ( there are three in each gear assembly).
So I took my door apart today, removed the motor to get at the gear assembly, opened that up and those gears where not worn, they where GONE ! Nothing left but chunks ! I cleaned it out real good, bought the new plug set, and reassembled it all. . . . My window works great now ! YAY!
I will do the passenger door tomorrow or the next sunny day, which ever comes first ! lol
