Electric Motor

Electric motor: recognising a faulty motor and finding suitable spare parts

If your electric motor in the car jerks, only runs slowly or no longer responds at all, the electric motor is usually defective or heavily worn. At ecanis, you will find electric motors and suitable spare parts in tested quality to get your vehicle moving again reliably. Depending on the type of damage, you can have an electric motor repaired or the entire drive replaced. You can choose from precisely fitting spare parts from brands such as METZGER and STABILUS, which make replacement easier to plan and reduce workshop times.

Electric motors in cars: tasks, typical problems and service life

A well-functioning electric motor in a car reliably converts electrical energy into movement and controls comfort functions such as window regulators, fans or seat adjustment. In order for these components to achieve the longest possible electric motor service life, they need robust components, proper assembly and high-quality spare parts. Pay attention to unusual noises, loss of power or irregular movements. If you react early and replace bearings, plugs or cables, for example, you can significantly extend the service life and avoid a lot of typical damage to the electric motor.

Electric motor in everyday life: where it works in the vehicle

In everyday life, you will encounter the electric motor in many places in the car without seeing it directly. It can be found in the Window Regulator, the seat adjustment, the Interior Blower or in body drives such as the tailgate actuation. If one of these motors fails, windows remain open, seats can no longer be adjusted and comfort is significantly reduced. With appropriate replacement motors, coordinated accessories and precisely matching body electric motor spare parts, you can get these functions back and ensure relaxed everyday driving.

Repair or replace the electric motor

When is it worth repairing an electric motor?

An electric motor repair can be worthwhile if the motor is defective but the damage is still manageable. If, for example, only bearings, plugs, cables or smaller attachments are affected, these can often be replaced in a targeted manner. If access remains easily accessible and the design is clear, you can repair the electric motor with a little experience and save costs without compromising on safety or reliable function in the vehicle.

When does it make more sense to replace the electric motor?

If the electric motor is clearly overheating, smells burnt, stalls mechanically or fails repeatedly after a short time, a complete replacement is usually the better choice. In such cases, you save yourself recurring faults and unclear sources of error. A new, perfectly fitting electric motor ensures that the function in question works reliably again and you don't have to keep reworking the same point. It is best to have the replacement carried out by a specialist workshop if you are unsure about the diagnosis or installation.
