Hello,
While replacing the driver side window regulator and lift motor for a friend, once I started to connect everything back together, I found that the wire plug did not fit the window lift motor to make a connection. The original motor wasn't there because someone else tried to fix it previously and wound up throwing everything away. So I opened up the passenger side to look at the motor on that side, and the motor on the passenger side is the same as the new one on the driver side, and that wire plug would fit the new motor on the driver side. Does this car have a different motor for the driver side than what is used on the passenger side? The new window regulator came with the motor installed. I've looked all over trying to find out if the driver side motor is different, but can't find anything even on the Hyundai site. I suppose it'd have to be considering the plug is different, but I have no clue how my friend managed to buy the correct window regulator but came with the wrong motor installed....or why the driver side would have a different motor than the passenger to begin with.
I've also looked at the service manuals and the connector it shows is the one I saw on the passenger side, but the connector on the driver side is completely different.
