• Q: How to service and repair the power window motor on 2010 Scion tC?

  A: Service and repair of the power window motor starts with disconnecting the battery cable from the negative terminal while waiting 90 seconds to stop Air Bag activation. Detach the clip and claw holding the front door lower frame bracket garnish LH by scraping it with a screwdriver whose tip needs to be taped beforehand. You must remove 11 claws to detach the assist grip cover LH and then approach the front armrest base panel upper LH by uninstalling a clip and 5 claws and disconnecting the switch connector and taking out 3 screws from the window regulator master switch. The same techniques should be applied to detach and reinstall the armrest base panel upper RH on the passenger's side. In order to remove the front door inside handle bezel plug and the front door trim board sub-assembly LH you need to first apply protective tape before unbolting 3 screws and unplugging 9 clips to gradually pull out the trim without damaging pins. The detachment of both the front door inside handle sub-assembly LH requires removing 3 cables and disconnecting the claw from the outer rear view mirror assembly LH together with the front door belt moulding LH as well as the front No. 1 and No. 2 speaker assemblies and front door glass Weather Strip inner LH. You must remove the two bolts from the front door service hole cover LH, side Air Bag sensor assembly LH and front door No. 1 stiffener cushion. You must install either the window regulator master switch or power window regulator switch for temporary use on the front door glass sub-assembly LH before accessing 2 bolts with glass movement for subsequent glass removal with care. The procedure to remove the front door window regulator sub-assembly LH requires disconnecting the connector followed by bolt A loosening and removal of 5 bolts. Use a T25 TORX socket wrench to decompose the power window regulator motor assembly LH front through matchmark placement followed by the removal of three screws and the motor. The procedure starts with removing the sub-assembly rear bottom bolt then moving to take out the hole plug to loosen the screw of the outside handle cover LH using a T30 "TORX" socket wrench. Placing the bellcrank lever under control will prevent damage during the removal process while using a T30 "TORX" socket wrench to remove 3 screws from the front door lock assembly LH. Once the screws are removed you can pull and slide the front door handle assembly outside LH from its position. Detach the lock control rod after using a T25 "TORX" socket wrench to remove the screw from the front door outside handle frame sub-assembly LH and compressing the clip to separate the frame. The procedure to disassemble the front door exterior handle pads requires 2 claw removal for each piece while the front door check assembly LH requires bolt and nut removal along with removal of 2 clips and 17 clips using a clip remover for the front door Weather Strip LH. Any damage to the clips requires replacement.
