This is from a now defunct aftermarket power window company. I've googled and ducked until I'm blue in the face. Pic attached so you can see what it looks like. TIA.

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

Have you opened it to see what's wrong? Electric motors are pretty simple.

Yeah, it's had water in it. I've been cleaning it up in hopes to get it working again. Soaking overnight in some rust penetrant.

Looks a lot like a power seat motor. Does it have a square drive like a speedo cable?

Is this for s PW conversion ?
If so do you know the mfr. of the conversion?
I would look very carefully at the motor housing ( Inside & out), as well as the mounting plate edges, sides etc. for ANY markings, numbers etc. Over the years I've had to play investigator more times than I can remember when a customer bought a car at auction with no paperwork.
However, I did once work for a company that would buy 1000- 5,000 electrically controlled valves at a time. The owner would then hire a temp worker from (Manpower, oops I just dated myself LOL) and have them sit at a table and dremel off all the markings. His thought process was to force customers to come back and buy the valves at an outrageous mark up (40 or 50X ) if I remember correctly (bas--rd).

If nothing is found you could get lucky by Googling '19xx vehicle power window kit" and repeat the same with "conversion" in place of kit. I have found information by pulling up old postings, magazine articles etc.

Next IMO would be to start looking for a substitute that can be adapted over. beer

Thank you all. I do have it working now and I drilled a small hole in the bottom of the housing to allow water to drain out. I installed this kit about 3 years ago for the rear windows in the PW but never wired it up, my bad. I bought the kit off a member here years ago, new never used so no, I really don't know the manufacturer. I did see that Summit sells kits by Vehicle Power Accessories that look exactly like what I have. No replacement parts can be found though. So worst case scenario I spend $100 for a basic 2 window kit and have spare parts.

Awesome you got it working smile I'd try sealing it up or fab a shield to deflect the water away from the motor. Even something out of plastic which can be heated and formed relatively easily. beer

i also have a couple of seat motors on the shelf. let me know what size the cable connecting threads are on the motor.
if they are the same as the seat motors, i'll send the seat motors to you for spares.
i really feel BAD about this ! let me know what i can do to rectify this situation !

Don't worry about my friend, it's not your fault. Everything worked when I installed it and just used a battery to operate the windows. It's my fault for letting it go so long. Everything is working now and I'm more than happy. Thank you for the offer but it's not necessary. You are a stand up guy and I appreciate the offer but all is good. Thank you.
