I just replaced the motor. While screwing around with the regulator I ended up with a coiled spring ( 3-4 inches in diameter ) in my hand. Where does it go and how is it installed?

 

The only place that I am aware that has a coil spring like you describe is on the cross pieces near the center where they pivot. If you can't get a satisfactory reply , the only other thing I would suggest is to look at the other side and see just how the torsion spring is set on the regulator assy.

 

That is defiantly were it goes just cleaned all the contacts and the window motor started working. The ford dealer said it needed a new motor>
