As I recall there are right and left motors, but front & rear on a given side can be interchanged.

In the older days GM used a “T” shaped connector which was changed along the way, I’m guessing when they “went metric” or thereabouts.

If you’re mixing & matching, you’ll should be able to find or make an adaptor. If you make something, solder the connections and use shrink wrap since these are high amperage connections which heat up on top of living inside the weather-exposed door & quarter cavities.

Good time to shop vac those door and quarter bottoms for loose screws, dirt and spare change…

Hope that helps
Chris

You do realize that isn't even close to the same motor, right?

I ended up buying the Cardone motor 82-016
motor looked the same but gears inside didn’t match up the round gear housing on mine was much deeper than these.

I ended up swapping my housing onto the new motor
going to see how this is all going to work this weekend

what a pain and this motor is 4 x the price
