A Tucson TL/TLE front window motor cannot be selected from the year and model badge alone. The three applications compared here include a front-right two-contact motor, a front-left two-contact motor and a front-left six-contact motor with auto lift and anti-pinch. The two left-side versions are the easy ones to confuse: they fit the same broad vehicle series but have different references, connectors and stated functions.
Use this guide to identify which configuration needs checking. It covers motor selection for the listed Australian 07/2015–02/2021 applications; it does not establish that every Tucson in that date range uses one particular motor.
Start with left or right, then count the actual contacts
Record the door position as front left or front right, using the vehicle’s normal seated direction. Avoid relying on an overseas listing’s “driver” or “passenger” label. A left-side part described as a driver’s motor in another market is still a left-side part; the label does not make it the right-front motor for an Australian vehicle.
Then compare the electrical socket on the original motor. Count metal contacts, rather than moulded spaces or plastic ribs. The actual photographs below show two contacts on the selected left-front two-pin motor and six on the selected left-front auto-lift motor. Match the socket shape and keying as well as the count.
Compare these three motor-only applications
| Door and reference | Connector and stated variant | Matching product information |
|---|---|---|
| Front right 82460-D3000 | Two electrical contacts. Verify the original function and physical configuration. | Tucson TL/TLE front-right two-pin motor |
| Front left 82450-D3000 | Two electrical contacts; listed without auto lift or anti-pinch. | Tucson TL/TLE front-left two-pin motor |
| Front left 82450-D3010 | Six electrical contacts; listed with auto lift and anti-pinch. | Tucson TL/TLE front-left six-pin auto-lift motor |
These are identification examples, not a complete list of every Tucson window configuration. Each linked page retains its specific application, inclusions and photographs. In particular, the final digits D3000 and D3010 identify different left-front selections in this comparison; they are not treated as interchangeable references.
Auto lift is a variant check, not an upgrade promise
The six-pin application is listed with auto lift and anti-pinch. The left-front two-pin application is listed without those functions. Do not order the six-pin unit simply to add a feature to a two-pin installation, or assume a connector adapter would resolve the difference. This guide does not establish compatibility for that conversion.
Use the vehicle’s original configuration, reference and VIN-based parts information together. If a feature has stopped working, its absence now does not prove the vehicle originally used the version without that feature. Tell the workshop what the window did before the fault and whether earlier repairs changed any components.
A motor, a regulator and a switch are separate purchases
All three products in the table are motors only. They do not include the regulator mechanism, window glass or door panel. A regulator advertised “without motor” does not supply one of these motors merely because its photograph shows the matching door position.
Check what the repair actually requires before ordering. A window that does not move is a symptom, not proof that the motor is the failed component. Have the workshop distinguish an electrical control or supply fault from a motor or mechanical regulator fault. This article is not a switch-replacement procedure, an electrical pinout or a universal reset sequence.
What to send for a useful fitment check
- VIN, build month and confirmation of TL/TLE series.
- The exact door position: front left or front right.
- The original motor reference, including every final digit.
- A clear socket photograph showing the contacts and keyed shape.
- Views of the output gear or shaft and mounting holes, where already accessible.
- The original auto-lift behaviour and any known previous motor or regulator changes.
If the motor is still inside the door, start with the vehicle details and the information already available. A workshop can obtain the remaining details during its assessment. Do not put hands into an operating window mechanism to gather a photograph.
How the references were checked
The authorised Australian Hyundai catalogue identifies 82450-D3000 as a left-front power-window motor assembly. The manufacturer distinguishes its two-pin left-front version without auto lift from the six-pin left-front auto-lift version. The linked PFA pages add the actual assembly views used in this comparison.
Open the matching product above for the full scope and current availability. If the original number, contact count or mounting arrangement disagrees with the selection, resolve that difference before ordering.
