NOISE - "GRINDING AND CREAKING" SOUNDS FROM DOOR WINDOW MECHANISM
LINCOLN-MERCURY: 1991 CAPRI
ISSUE:
The door window operating mechanisms may bind and not operate properly. In addition, the power operated window regulator assemblies
may make a grinding/creaking noise. This usually occurs because of excessive friction loading on the window glass.
ACTION:
If service is required, inspect the window operating mechanisms and, if required, make the adjustments or repairs as outlined in the
following service procedure.
INITIAL INSPECTION AND DIAGNOSIS
^
If the power operated windows do not operate, conduct the diagnosis and testing procedure as described in the 1991 Capri Shop Manual, Section
42-08. Repair and/or replace components as required.
^
If the power operated window regulator assemblies make a grinding or creaking noise, make sure that the window glass is free to move in the glass
run channel before replacing the regulator assemblies.
