Window Motors and Parts for Lexus SC400

Like most other parts of your Lexus SC400, the power window motors and regulators can wear out over time, requiring repair or replacement in order to properly function. Luckily with a wide selection of window motors and parts for Lexus SC400, you can find just what you need to get your windows back into working order.

What are the parts of a Lexus power window mechanism?

There are two main parts of a Lexus power window mechanism, each consisting of several smaller parts:

  • The lifting mechanism: Also called the window regulator, the lifting mechanism consists of several gears and levers that, when powered by a the window motor, create enough torque to raise and lower the window.
  • The electrical systems: The window motor is powered by electricity from your Lexus battery and electrical systems. When the window control switch closes the circuit, the motor turns the gears and the window goes up or down.
What can cause the window motor to break?

Like many other parts in your Lexus SC400, the window motor can wear down or break over time with frequent use. However, undue strain on the motor can occur if the window freezes closed during the winter months. If it doesn’t break, the motor will work harder to roll the window down. More likely, the window glass will completely separate from the regulator mechanism, requiring reattachment before the window can work again.

What are some signs that a Lexus window motor needs to be replaced?

There are several indications that the power window motor is beginning to wear out:

  • Multiple presses: If it takes more than one press to roll your window up or down, there’s a good chance something is wrong with the motor assembly. However, it could also be a problem with the switch.
  • Window speed: A window that moves slower or faster than usual could also signify a problem with the motor. These mechanisms are designed to function at a very precise speed so as to avoid damage to the window.
  • Noise: A window motor near the end of its life may emit a clicking noise when the button is pressed. This often happens when debris becomes lodged between the window and the motor/regulator mechanism, making it work harder than it should. Without the necessary repair, the window may pull away from the mechanism and eventually shatter.
  • Window position: A window that falls down by itself or is crooked is a clear sign that the motor or regulator mechanism is broken and needs to be replaced.
