Dont curse ford for something stupid like power windows...they go bad on brand new cars all the time. Ford doesnt make abnormally bad regulators in my experience. Take off your door panel and grease them and look to see where the noise is comming from. Im not a master tech but if something is not working correctly i look and listen to see where the problem seems to be

You have the EVER SO COMMON "ground up torque pins".

Go to the FAQ section of our forum..... there is a good write up on changing these.

BAD NEWS: You have to take the door panel apart and remove the window motor.

GOOD NEWS: The cost to fix this is under $5. (excluding your labor of course)

I just fixed this problem on my car. They dont sell the plastic gear that u need at the dealer anymore so I had to buy the whole dam motor. 80 bucks. Mine was clicking too before it went bad. Good Luck!
<marquee>80 BUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!! :rlaugh: :lol: </marquee>

Sorry dude.. You dont need the whole plastic gear, just the tq pins (well let me rephrase that...maybe you did for yours, but in general you dont.) Even if you do, you can get that stuff from many online mustang shops.

Those tq pins are about $5.

3 3/8 nuts is all you need

Disassemble the motor and remove the broken gears. Next you find 3 3/8 nuts and insert them into the gaps, grease the thing and put it back together. Your wont have to wory again. Ive done plenty of them very simple.
 
Seems to me that Vibe's company makes a kit with the cluster. If that is what you all are talking about, it was 20 bucks at AZ (special order though).

what do these torque pins look like? All i know is the three angular plastic things holding the gear into place were shot, there were plastic shavings everywhere, and I tyed looking all over the internet and I couldnt find anything. Best I could find was a repail kit for pre 93 mustangs.

What whould a shop charge to fix this dont have to do it my self
Prolly 1 hr labor rate.....but Im telling you, If "I" can do it, "ANYONE" can...believe me.

But....if you are in a situation where you can drop it off and pick it up, about 1 hr, maybe 1.5 hrs, so you could be looking at $100, unless they "tell you" you "need" a new motor.

It's pretty easy. Follow the write up in the FAQ sticky, it has pics and all.

Your local Auto Parts store may have the bushings in the HELP section. You can also buy the bushing kit from my Company. The part number is also in the FAQ sticky.

:stupid: Total cost: $0.36, lol. I did the exact same thing on both my motors. Unfortunately a few months later they both shorted out completely. But my nuts were just fine! :D
