Description
Electric window motor for the right front passenger window for CITROËN C5 second generation vehicles from 2005 to 2007. Electronics for controlling the side mirror with an electric folding function.
This replacement power window motor is intended for the right front (passenger) door of Citroën C5 II models. It restores reliable up/down movement of the window glass and is commonly sought by technicians and DIY enthusiasts under OE numbers such as 9681597580 and 9222AJ. The part is suitable for door assemblies that use a motor-driven regulator; application should be verified against the vehicle model year and part codes listed below.
Function And Symptoms
The unit converts electrical power into rotational torque to drive the window regulator mechanism, moving the glass smoothly along the door track. Common symptoms of a failing motor include no window movement, intermittent operation, very slow travel, grinding or clicking noises, or the window falling out of position. Because many customers search by part number, listing OE codes in the product data helps quick identification.

Fitment & Compatibility
Designed primarily for Citroën C5 second generation models produced between 2005 and 2007. Compatibility depends on the door regulator type and connector. Technicians frequently identify the correct unit using the OE/product numbers above. This motor is intended for the right front (passenger) door.
Installation Recommendations
- Disconnect the vehicle battery before starting work to avoid short circuits or accidental window movement.
- Remove the interior door trim carefully to access the regulator and motor; preserve clips and screws for reassembly.
- Support or tape the window glass in the fully up position before detaching it from the regulator to prevent glass drop or damage.
- Disconnect the electrical connector and remove mounting bolts securing the motor/regulator assembly. Compare connectors and mounting points to the old unit before final installation.
- After fitting the replacement motor, test full up/down travel and auto functions (if equipped) before reassembling the door card. Lubricate guide rails with suitable dielectric-friendly grease if necessary.
- Observe torque settings for fasteners and ensure moisture barriers are resealed to prevent water ingress.
Why This Part Fails Most Often
- Water ingress and corrosion of electrical contacts or internal motor components.
- Wear of motor brushes and internal gears after long service, causing loss of torque or intermittent operation.
- Mechanical binding or worn regulator cables/tracks that increase load and strain the motor.
- Impact or door damage that misaligns the mechanism or damages gears.
Replacement Tips For Mechanics And DIYers
Carry out a pre-replacement diagnosis: check fuses, switches and wiring for continuity before replacing the motor. If the regulator mechanism shows heavy wear or bent components, replace the regulator assembly together with the motor to avoid repeated failure. Keep replacement fasteners and clips organized and test the window operation several times through its full travel to confirm smooth movement and correct alignment.
