Dorman 742-392 front left window motor for the 2011-2016 Kia Optima is an OE FIX smart motor that raises and lowers the window. When an original smart motor fails on certain vehicles, the cause is often an electronic fault, so this one has upgraded electronics.
- Upgraded electronics for greater processing power and faster response times
- Protection against voltage spikes, heat-related failures and motor stall conditions
- Printed circuit board coated with a special resin that resists moisture, dust and other contaminants
- Tested to meet federal motor vehicle anti-pinch standards

A failing power window motor can leave the window slow, stopping partway or not responding to the switch. Before you replace the motor, rule out the window switch, the fuse and the regulator, since a fault in any of them can also stop a window. If the motor is the cause, this unit replaces it.
