Hi, The right rear power window in my 300TE stopped working recently. After taking the door panel off, I hit it with a hammer and it worked for awhile but got hot. Any advice?
Thanks,
Carl

You can try to straighten and lubricate the rails but, most likely the motor is on its last leg. I had to changed mine, after trying different things.
Good luck!

Also keep in mind during those years there was a lot of broken wires within the door hindge. Hold the switch in one direction or the other and open/close the door at the same time. You may have moved the door enough to contact wires by hitting it with a hammer

Nothing better than a good scientific approach to trouble shooting . Does the window not operate with either switch, i.e. the front or rear. If it works from the rear and not the front, replace front switch and vice versa.
