I called Kwikee and told out of date and need to replace the whole thing.........yeah!
Looking some more I found that a pass. window motor from an 87 Thunderbird would work. Autozone 2 miles away $46 otd. Gave it a try and all working well now!!!
Edit: This did lead to another problem I found under there....Black Widow eggs.....
There is a set of contacts inside that little motor itself and alongside the brushes. Those I've seen have been burnt pretty bad. Haven't bothered to really check it out, but guessing that these contacts open at he end of travel or torque resistance and then reverses itself, by switching the commutator's polarity.
Do notice that my new genuine Chinese motor (power window model, as well) is super quite by comparison with the original.
Are ya sure about the spider, as there's another one or insect that has the same type of eggs, but can't remember what, now?
