Re: [VintageLambo] Window motor 400GT?

If the window is free and will go all the way DOWN but not all the way UP and is free I would first check that the lifting arm is in sync with the motor. It is possible that when it was installed the travel arm was not synched. Some but not all need this. Obviosuly something could also be binding with the way in which the motor mounts. Id also take the motor out and verify window operation. That being said, the motor could possibly be weak but generally electric motors work at their correct torque of they dont. On obscure window motors, I have always found it far easier to remove the motor completely and take it with me to the local you pull it junkyard and look for a replacement that can be adapted. Generally all that is needed is some spacers or brackets. I have not done this on a 400 GT but have done this on Maserati 3500"s and Ghiblis and Panteras . Generally, purity does not extend all the way to the confines of hidden recesses of door panels. Besides, the late model motors are far cheaper and work better and faster.

Hello- As I await parts for ignition, I wanted to see what was up with the driver"s window motor, the interior door panel was removed when I picked up the car.Jerry said that he sent the motor out for repair and the guy did not fix it correctly. The window goes down easy enough but will only come up about half way, then a little more with a light push with hand. It does not appear to be binding up, so I suppose the motor needs re-repair. What tests can I perform that may lead me in a direction to fix it? The details that Doc has provided apply to Espada, which is a diff motor.
