I found they make both CW & CCW by randomly clicking through the manufactures data sheets elsewhere on their site. I hope it does not matter too.

Nor could I find the Jameco sourced motor part number on the manufacturers web site as a current product. Their web site could be wrong as well.

I think you’ll be OK, I just don’t want others to order up motors and have them not work out for them. Perhaps Dan Denton from posts #s 2 & 5 can chime in. Maybe he worked on a left side Door Lock Assembly. I'll PM him.

By no means was I suggeting that you buy the ones from Jameco instead.

I can confirm that the motors are the same on both sides of the car. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this thread!
