Hydra- ya tell me about it. Just a bad weekend for luck I guess. The window is replaced, went to the stealership this morning to price parts, $120 total, I'm just gonna find some parts at the boneyard. Still am wondering why I'm missing the linkage and the spring for the tv cable

You could try a motor shop, meaning small electric motor refurbishing shop in your local area.

Go to a junk yard and find one of the same year and motor and check out the linkage and take pictures. Then remove it and install on yours.

White widow sent me som pics so I'm going tomorrow or this weekend for the linkage. Think I'm just gonna start pullin out some window motors too. Have some extras. Locally I tried EVERYWHERE for the brushes including small electric shops, an no one has em :-( the stealership guy looked at me like I was stupid and said they haven't carried those in 10+ Years

Update: got the linkage, everything works great. Cable was way to tight to begin with an wouldn't shift into 3rd haha, but I have it setup now and everything is good in that department. Looking at Thursday to put a new track and window motor in my drivers door. Will post some pics

Try a local alternator rebuild shop, Ace Hardware or other fine retailers in their parts ben, or even your local radio shack.

Couldn't find anyone who rebuilt alternators close. Ace had brushes, but all were too big. Radio shack had some, also too big. Spent $30 and got a whole new motor and track from a buddy. Still in the box! So I figured why not

Not bad!

Also if the brushes aren't too bad you can pull them out and flip then around, as long as they are not pre-angled to the motor which most aren't. Just an idea for searching people.

Ya I tried switching mine around and it didn't work either. My luck is awesome! Although come to find out, the window motor and track I got were out of an 03, so the window motor mounted a bit different so I marked and drilled new holes and everything works like new!!
