Re: (ET) Lift motor ideas How do you hook the ground wire inside the motor



I've never personally done this.  I got my information from Harold Zimmerman at clean power supply.  I would advise giving him a call.

Hi  I am replacing the lift motor with the General motors window motor. It will bolt up but I am reading this about adding a ground wire inside.  How do you do this? What do you hook it to? does this wire have to come out side of the motor and hook to the blue wire that was used in the original hook up. I see the motor has a 2 wire lead now instead of the 3 wire from the orginal. What happens when it grounds to the frame? Dave

Yeah true, but if the problem is the armature is shorted you can swap
one in with relative ease.

Just be gentle removing the brush holder, get several pairs of long nose
pliers and do everything super-gentle.
