90 town car window problems

[IAmJohn]

My town car's front right window no longer works; it makes the sounds like
it wants to go down but nothing catches. Would that be a fault from the
window regulator, or would it be from the motor? The sound it makes
sounds like it normally should, just the window doesn't move. I have a
window on the back left that has the same problem, if anyone knows what's
wrong, please let me know, and thanks very much in advance.

It sounds like the window motor transmission is stripped. There are 3 nylon dowels
that usually shear. I've seen repair kits in the "HELP" aisle at stores like Autozone.
With the car being a 1990 though, it may be better to replace the motor asy. Check out
www.lincolnsonline.com It's a site dedicated to the care and feeding of your Lincoln.
There are tech articles that can guide you through motor replacement or repair.

Good luck, Tom Adkins
