Some vehicles are very fussy about replacement parts. Especially aftermarket parts. If you've replaced the motor assembly and it still doesn't work or it doesn't work right you may need to have the computers reprogrammed (flashed) to accommodate the new motor assembly. Even a slight difference in motor resistance between the original motor and the new motor can cause chaos with the computers. Jim
