I need to change both of them cause sometimes they will just not work and I have to take the door panel off and tap the motor with a hammer.

I also sometimes have to tap my engine with a hammer to start it.

Replace them with new units. The Company I work for makes them and its not an easy task. Sounds like the 1 touch relay is shot on the drivers and bushings are toast on both.

I just did this fix two days ago and I used the parts from Cardone (part number 42-91 available online at Discount Auto Parts). A great resource is in the 94/95 FAQ sticky at the top of the 94/95 Tech section.

The part number listed above worked well for me, BUT the whole assembly did not work. I just used the 3 new bushings, then cleaned up my window motor and inserted the new bushings. Absolutely perfect now and really quiet. When I tried to use the Cardone assembly, the whole assembly was much smaller than the original and the teeth on the center piece looked a little different. No big deal, all you need is the bushings and I couldn't find any locally.

Do this yourself and it will only take you about an hour per door, maybe less after you've done one door. Easy to do, just take your time and read the instructions. Print out Joe's instructions on the FAQ sheet and you'll be done in no time. The instructions were perfect.

Joe (VibrantRedGT): In case no one's thanked you for the window motor write up......thanks. Instructions worked out great and was thrilled to fix this myself with absolutely no problems.

My passenger side window make a high pitched squeal when it goes up and down. I'm just assuming it needs to be lubed somewhere. Any part in the door that I should look at especially close?

There are some little rollers that fit inside the window track channel. I might make sure one of the wheels isnt locked up.

Good luck.
