    Window Regulator -GEN 3/4 Archilles Heel

    I have a guy working on the "hall signal" problem. He thinks he can find a solution to use my motor. We will see. Tom

    Window Regulator -GEN 3/4 Archilles Heel

    That is one of the things I am looking into, another motor I can adapt to the project. I also looked at the gen V. So far there is no information for a part number on the gen V but the part number for the gen III and IV is listed as including 2003 through 2013 models. Which doesn't surprise me a...

    There is just no reasonable way or the room to put a magnet and sensor pickup on the output shaft of my motor. The Viper motor has it built inside. I still may look at adapting the Viper motor to see if it has enough power or another motor with a built in hall signal.

    Nadine, you are correct in your assessment of how it works. I looked at the possibilities of using the original motor that would eliminate the electrical issue but it is just not feasible. The motor has to have enough power to run the window up and down at a reasonable speed and it will have to...

    Yes I use a different motor and I also researched using the Viper motor but it won't fit and I looked at adapting it to fit but it is quite a bit smaller motor and I would have to make a new gear for it and then I don't think it will have enough torque to raise the window and the cost would...

    The Prowlers do not have the computer controlling the windows. No window drop and the express down is only on the left window and is controlled from the switch.

    Window Regulator -GEN 3/4 Archilles Heel

    Update on the regulator project. After three weeks of work, investment and research I am sorry to say that the regulator project doesn’t look like it is going to work. The body control module is much more involved with the regulator motor that I originally thought it might be. The motor has a...

    I talked to a Viper owner today that is only about 45 minutes from my shop and he has agreed to let me test the motor operation. I am just waiting for him to tell me when we can get together and do it. I hope to do it yet this week. I will let you know how it does. Tom

    Window Regulator -GEN 3/4 Archilles Heel

    For the first test all I need to do is remove the left door trim panel to get access to the regulator wiring. I would un plug the wiring from the motor and plug my regulator in, I wouldn't install it at this point. I would then test the electronics to see if the regulator would have the "glass...

    The window drop is one of the issues that I have to address. I won't know for sure until I can get a Viper to do the install and testing. I am as far as I can go with out a Viper.

    If you want to see the prototype working I have it up on Utube. I can post the link here but I don't know if it is acceptable to do so. When I get this project finished I will become a supporting vendor here as I am on prowleronline.com

    Window Regulator -GEN 3/4 Archilles Heel

    Thanks for the kind words guys. I will have the Viper prototype ready to install in a Viper the first of the week. It has been a real struggle. It is working in my door just fine but I need to install it in a car so that the final adjustments can be made. So I am as far as I can go until I get...

    Window Regulator -GEN 3/4 Archilles Heel

    Update. I have the "prototype" well on the way. It is a gear and lever design just like the one I did for the prowler that will do away with the poor OEM design with the plastic tubing that continues to fail. I have it mounted in the same mounting holes that the original motor was mounted in...

    I bought a door assembly today and I have started working on it. I have it disassembled and I have started to build a "proto type". I should know if my idea will work sometime next week. Tom Mills

    Window Regulator -GEN 3/4 Archilles Heel

    I just heard about your window regulator problems from a Viper owner. It sounds like the same problems we were having with the Prowlers. He saw that I am doing replacement regulator kits for the Prowler and asked me if I would consider doing them for the Viper. I have designed a unit to replace...
