The usual cause for this motors to fail is seizing from water getting
inside. Melted windings probably means you have a switch that is sticking
on.

Subject: '90 Carat Drivers Side Power Window Motor Wanted

Hello,

It seems strange that a few days ago the discussion was about the Passenger
side power window on a Vanagon.

I'm now looking for a driver's side power window motor.

Not sure how it happened, but the driver's side motor just quit working.  I
pulled the door panel and motor out to clean and lube it.  After opening it
up, found that the windings on the motor were shorted and melted in on spot.
So I'm looking for a replacement.   I'd love to get a new or rebuilt one.  I
checked with the vendors web sites and they show them, but they're out of
stock, so I'm now asking list members.

If you have one available, please let me know.

Thanks,

Greg McKinney
