[DeTomaso] DOA Aerostar windoe motor

My bet is that it's a thermal-only fuse.  This would protect against a
constant-on condition in case the motor gets too hot with less than 20A
going through it.

  Doug,

  attached is the pdf diagram from Garth's archive.

  I would guess the internal link is a fuse in case the window jams or
someone holds the switch down too long.

  I would just wire around it and press on.

  Have fun today,

    Guys,

    I took delivery of a 4-bolt NOS Aerostar window motor from eBay but it
is
    DOA.  I took it apart and the armature and brush assembly test out fine.
    But there's a 2-terminal device in series with one of the brushes that's
    electrically open, keeping it from working.  Does anyone know more about
    this device?  Is it for thermal or overcurrent protection?
