Re: [Chrysler300] 62 300 POWER convert top problem

[Marshall Larson <yelof@xxxxxxxx>]

Clean the commutator and the brushes but the real need is to clean out
the old sticky lubrication in the motor bearings and replace with fresh
oil.  Fresh oil has fixed more motors for me than any other thing.  That
includes motors for heaters, power windows, starters, power antennas,
etc.
