well here in Cali its about $10.00 for the brushes....so cover the brushes and shipping....and whatever else you thing is cool for my time =)

 

Right on bro, so these brushes can only be found in hobby shops? No auto parts stores?

 

Yeah man, only found them at certain hobby shops....alot of hobby shops dont even carry these brushes. Apparently alot of the new RC motors are brushless.

 

bump.
can you please provide us with model number for the trinity brush? seems like there are lots of different kind.
Im trying to buy one online. i cant seem to find it anywhere local.

or maybe you can provide us with a product link?

is it his one?

thanks!

 

this is the part number of the brushes i use "tri13504nt" hope that helps. the hobby store are not supplying them as much as they use to, due to the new RC Motors being brushless...unfortunately pretty soon prob online is going to be the only place to get em.

 

doing this as of right now. i'll update and let u know if this fixed my issue.

 

hey the trinity brush i picked up (per your help with model number. thanks!) seems to have two wires coming out of the "brush" rather than just one wire like the oem one. did i buy the wrong brush? or do i have to cut one? help~

also the trinity ones seems to be longer than oem one. do i have to sand teh length of the brush to make it fit?

the trinity one just seems different from oem ones. also the trinity one has the concave curved groove directly on the opposite side of the wires, but the oem ones have groove linear to the wire.

 

yeah just cut one of the wires, and yes you'll have to sand down the length of the brush to make it fit, and make sure the curve corresponds with the shape of the magnet.

 

awesome. i just finished the repair, and my motor now run strong@@@@!!! haha

 

I just got done with this - thanks for the excellent guide! Took about three hours - mostly because I had to do it twice - not sure why it didnt work the first time. Good thing I bought two sets of brushes! A little tip - the spring clips that push the brushes forward can be clipped out of the way while working on sanding the brushes and installing the core/shaft - just dont forget to unclip them before you install the holder/shaft into the main assembly!
Thanks

 

Where did you get the brushes?

 

you can get them at most hobby shops or buy them at towerhobbies...

I did mine today took me about an hour and saved me about 200 buxs thanks for the write up

 

These $3.39 brushes worked??? Give me the word and I'm getting a few.
I'm sitting on 3 defunct window motors I need to sell.

 

No prob fellas, glad i could help. Now that you know how the motor works, its unfortunate that eventually every window motor for the Z and G's will fail. At least now we've got very cheap fix that should last another 3-4 years =)

 

Hey j3dz, is the electronics cleaner just compressed air? Is there a liquid cleaner that be used (and dried of course) like WD40 (or other recommendation)?
I've cleaned up 5 window motors now and I'm offering it as a service along with my door lock service.
I still haven't had to replace any brushes, for the most part cleaning them and cleaning the connectors that the brushes contact is a big part in getting a window motor to work again.
Now I am very well acquainted with the window motor, and the step by step process in removing/replacing the inner door panel.

It would be great to sell/ship out repaired window motors, however the cycle will rely on getting the core back.
Sell motors to just enough ppl that you don't have any more to repair, and the service is halted.

This thread needed a bump. Hell it needs a sticky!
