Installation recommendations

Generally/typically for the window operator, the exact procedure may vary depending on the specific version of the door equipment and the design of the interior panel for the given model.

1) Before assembly

• Compare the new and original part: same numbers (96360166XT / 6554E8), shape, mounting and connector(s).
• Check for broken latches, cracks, squeezed button or damaged pins in the connector.
• It is recommended to disconnect the battery (especially for electrical parts) and wait a short time for the units to sleep.

2) Necessary tools and materials

• Plastic pry bar for removing upholstery/moulding
• Basic set of screwdrivers / bits (according to design)
• A clean cloth or contact cleaner (if the contacts are dirty)

3) Step-by-step assembly procedure

1. Secure the car against movement and turn off the ignition.
2. Disconnect the battery (recommended) and prevent unwanted electrical connection.
3. Carefully pry out the panel with the controller (or the cover/part of the handle depending on the design) so as not to damage the surrounding plastics.
4. Release the controller from the mounting (latches/screws depending on the design).
5. Disconnect the electrical connector(s) – pull on the connector, not the wiring.
6. Check the condition of the connector in the harness (oxidation, loose pins, dirt).
7. Connect the connector(s) to the replacement controller and make sure it fits/clicks.
8. Sit the controller into the panel and secure (snap/screw).
9. Reattach the panel to the door and check that there is nothing in the way and that the cables are not pinched.
10. Connect the battery and turn on the ignition.

• 4) Post-assembly checks and test drive/function verification

  • Verify the function of the buttons: smooth operation of the window in both directions, reliable response without dropouts.
  • If the window has been disconnected for a long time, some cars may require a basic initialization of the end positions (the procedure varies depending on the version).
  • When driving, check that the door panel does not vibrate or rattle (proper seating).

  5) The most common assembly mistakes + how to avoid them

  • Latch/panel damage – use a plastic pry bar and work around the perimeter patiently.
  • Poorly engaged connector – always check the connector stop and fuse.
  • Pinched wiring – check cable routing before final panel seating.
  • Solving the problem only by replacing the controller – if the problem persists, the cause is also in the connector, wiring in the door or the window mechanism itself.

  Reasons why the part is damaged

  • Wear of contacts and buttons due to frequent use (does not respond, switches only occasionally).
  • Pollution (dust, grease) and gradual degradation of internal contacts.
  • Moisture in the door and subsequent oxidation of the connectors/contacts.
  • Mechanical damage (cracked plastic, broken latches during disassembly).
  • Problems in the wiring (harness stress in the door) that can overload the controller or cause blackouts.
