I had 900, window didn't work, and was ready to replace the motor (already bought one from a junkyard). Upon careful inspection of the wiring, I noticed there was some chafing of the wiring harness where it went through the door -- harness seemed to be bent in an odd way. I soldered in a two foot jumper, and everything worked fine. My recollection was that all the motors are the same, but the little "transmission" is RH or LH. Swapping the transmission can be swapped from your old motor to your new one is a two-screw job, not hard at all.
