LXT Now with power REAR window under 100.00

[Earl313]

Finally got to look at a maverick rear power window and that’s when a revelation hit. Ford used the Same window unit in all sliding window mavericks. only difference no motor or cables. So hooked up a used 2015 F150 power window motor and ran electrical fused power line from the battery. bought a reversable 30a switch…success
i have not mounted the switch on dash or did a tuck job on the wiring but needed to post.total cost 45.00 for window motor 15.00 for switch misc. under 20.00

Cool, how did you attach the cables to the window?

 

[Earl313]

Look at bottom track both sides have cable eyelets
still working on setup and installation but is very promising

What's an LXT model? Do you mean an XLT?

 

[Earl313]

Oops your right

So if I am understanding your post. The window is on a track that slides open via the motor that is attached to the track? Did you already have in your truck the manually operated window?
I thinks everyone understands the electrical side of what you did, we are just trying to figure out what is moving the window open and how it is being slided. I love what you did, I'm just trying to wrap my head around what mechanism is pulling it open and closing it.

What are you doing to prevent the latch mechanism from locking the window closed? I can see that burning up the motor quick.

This might help with that question. Here is the picture of the Maverick power window. The cables attach to the window and pull it back and forth.

It is not the best visual, so here is the 15 F-150 power window components. The F-150 you can get the center window separately and you see it has a cable attached to it for the mechanism.

Now I got it!! Thank you.

I have to shorten the cable that pulls the window open
mounting holes are different for the motor
30 A. Fuse may be over kill but circuit on 150 was 30A. Maverick I believe was 20A

The latch now held open but two screws hold the latch catch. I will remove it during final install

Whoa!!! Nice work.

Any pics or video of the project, some kind of tutorial ?
