Is there any difference between the RR window motor and the LF window motor? I am looking at a picture of both and they look the same.

There is no difference whatsoever.

Well, one difference; they're stamped differently with white ink. Other than the ink, there is no difference whatsoever.

Do keep in mind, though, that the front motor is more difficult to remove than the rear motor. No extra tools needed, but you have to pry on a metal backing plate on the front motor to slide it out.

Does this mean that I can take a motor for any other door and use it on a different door? I need to replace my front pass. motor. Thanks for any info.:)

If you need to replace the RF motor/Pass Front then you can use the LR/Driver Rear motor as a replacement if you can't find the RF motor.

^^what he said. Also make sure you check out my window motor rebuild thread in the how-to section if you pick up a junkyard unit and want to restore it to proper operating condition.

Edit: Actually, as my thread says, your motor probably isn't broke... just gunked up. Try rebuilding it (for almost free) and see if that works.

Thanks for the response. I do remember reading Hawkeye18"s post and that will be a consideration. Thanks again.
