The 2002 Ford Mustang power-window motor supplies the kinetic energy to move the window regulator, which in turn moves the window glass. When you push the window switch, it closes the power-window electrical circuit that powers the motor. The motor takes that electrical charge and uses it to turn a gear in its nose. That gear connects to another gear in the regulator. If you possess basic auto-repair skills, you can remove the power window motor in a 2002 Ford Mustang in about 30 minutes.
Remove the Mustang's inner door handle bezel with the trim tool. Pry the window switch out of the door panel with the trim tool. Disconnect the wiring harness from the window switch by hand.
Remove the screws from the door panel with the Phillips screwdriver. Lift the door panel up and off the door by hand, guiding the inner door handle through the hole in the panel as you do so. Set the door panel off to the side.
Push the Mustang's window to the top of the window channel. Push the window wedge or rubber door stop between the glass and the window wipe to hold the glass at the top of the channel so it cannot fall down. You can purchase a window wedge at most auto-parts retailers or through professional tool vendors or simply substitute a low-profile rubber door stop.
Unplug the body harness from the window motor manually. Remove the retaining bolts from the window motor that hold it to the door and window regulator. Remove the window motor from the door by hand.
