power window quit working. Most common cause?

The most common issue is the regulator which is a small motor that powers the windows. Most likely the regulator has to be replaced.

The regulator is what the window travels up and down in the motor is what rolls it up and down and the switch powers it. More than likely it is the motor or switch. I f it is any window but the drivers see if it rolls down by using the drivers switch and then by the door it is in switch. If it works with the drivers door but not the door that's not working it's the switch in door that's not woring. If it doesn't work with either door switch it is the motor.

It was the driver's side, and turns out it was the switch. One day of car rental and $280 later, I know. Thanks,

Ok I have a 2005 f-150 I have replace both motors window tracks and driver and passenger side switches and still won't role up or down what else could it be

i am currently having the same issue as Brandon. All of the windows worked perfectly and then suddenly all stopped and i am having stupid things happen when i push the switch like the door ajar warning coming on. Any iformation would be helpful.

Gentlemen.....Ladies.....Anyone?

I have a 2003 ford truck and cut the wire harness to the radio to put in a New one now the Windows don't work

Hey we had same prob. 2000 Ford Crew Cab 4-door f-350, window would not go down on drivers door.. found lost ground through the window master switch control.. replaced and windows worked fine. hope this helps.. FRENCHIE !!!

ok i just replaced my window toggles modem and it still does not work. when I use one of the 4 toggles the lights on the panel go dim. I think there is a bad fuse but the manual is none it is.Is there a place or can you give me some direction,? Spikemant clear which

It mite be the strip inside the door

I just purchased an 01 f150 crew cab. none of the windows worked, so I thought it could possibly be a ground, due to the previous owner telling me that he would hot wire the windows. The rocker panels in this truck are rotted out, so I started checked the wiring connections behind the panel, next to the parking brake. I eventually found two corroded wires. I fixed these two wires and now only the driver's window doesn't work. i pulled the plug from the back of the switches and could see a small amount of corrosion, once i cleaned if off the window went down, but would not go up. Upon further inspection, the small plastic nipple that touches the contact in the switch had been melted off. I took a pair of needle nose pliers and bent the contact slightly to make up for the missing nipple. All windows now work fine.

I have a 2006 F150 The windows don't work. If I open the drivers door the controls work. Do I have a ground problem and where do I look. HELP

2004 f150. I've replaced all four window regulator units over the past two years. - 170K miles - rear passenger would not raise 3 months after replacing the regulator. The company replaced it and it made not difference. Swapped switches on back door sto test, no difference. Pulled the master unit from the drivers door and cleaned all the dirt build-up from it, I tried to pen the assembly but could not get the switch pack to open. Now the front windows don't work. I suspect he swithc pack has loose components that I moved and will replace it, but they may not solve the rear passenger that will lower but not raise.

2004 f150 extended cab. All windows will not operate. When pushing buttons, the little orange light above the heated mirrors button lights up. Not sure why this happens. Wanting to know what everyone above did to fix issue. 165000 miles.

On my 04 F-150 super crew I have replaced all four window regulators within two years. Then a couple of the windows stopped working. I replaced the master control switch, which is the switchpack in the drivers door. That resolved it. ABout $15 for after market on amazon.

Take the door panel off hit on top of the regulator whjle pressing the switch up

I have a 01 crew cab and none of my Windows go down grounds are good all the switches light up still but everything els has no power all my relays are good anyone know what my problem is or anyone know where ide find the main power source? Thanks

I have a 2014 F-250 crew cab. The drivers side rear window will go down but not up (neither drivers and rear door switches). I had to hot wire it to go up, and then I replaced the switch. The new switch still does not make it go up (again, with either switch). Since it obviously isn't the switch, and I can get it to go up by hot wiring, I assume it isn't the motor either. Any thoughts?????

Had the problem about 4 years ago. It was the wiring in the door. I took out rubber boot was able to splice it back together and electrical tape it up. No problem since

I had the problem in my 04 f150 all 4 of my windows didn't go down. I did some looking online and i found out it was the ground wire in-between the door and the cab. So if all your windows stop working at once i would check the wires in-between door and cab.

cdwdeer I had the same issue and ended up replacing the master switch assembly in the drivers door. I got an aftermarket one for cheap, but I have problems with the buttons sticking, or not working sometimes. The point is the master switch was the problem in this case. I have had to replace all four window regulators due to the motors failing or cable components breaking. That's usually pretty obvious as the window falls down into the door. I went with aftermarket products on those and they have performed well.

I have a 2004 Expedition and the only one window is operable, front passenger, and I can operate it from the main control on the drivers side. The rest wont work. Thoughts?

i put a new power motor on drivers side it worked fine 2hrs later it would not go up theirs a clicking noise from the dash when i press the button to down whats the problem

Have the same problem on a Ford F350 it turned out to be the wiring in the door well the harness that goes from the door in the truck it was corroded wires

I have a Ford F350 2003 Power Stroke and every Ford truck I've had over 20 years had the same problem. If you notice the radio clock light goes out & for sure the windows are not going to work up or down until the clock comes back ON ... That is driver side & passenger side. If you drive it for a bit the clock light comes back ON and your good for another trip out. It is inconsistent ? Some times it may be a week before it happens again. I currently have over 444,000 miles on it and the windows still work but are tempermental ...

Thomas,Ford uses the same relay for the radio and power windows,find that weak relay,and likely find your issue,sounds like it may be weak or getting hot.

My passenger side window wouldn't roll up with either switch. I unplugged the switches, cleaned the pins with sandpaper, plugged them back in, and they worked again.

help! 2002 ford xlt passenger window will roll down but not up?? switches test good

Ok real late.. My 2000 f150 super cab windows stopped working two days ago.. Looked at everything.. Was a 30 amp block type fuse under the hood that I could barely see the crack.. Pink one farther towards the engine in the box. Hope it helps someone

Deshiro- Mine went out a week ago. Try Replacing the switch out. I did it myself for $40.

I have window prob. Same i move the boot around between door n cab. Windows all work at certain sot. When i let go of boot n shut door no windows work

08 f150 supercab passenger side window down won't come back up from either master switch or door switch, changed the master module unit switch -all other windows are working as on the orig master switch- will check grn on passenger side, couldn't find black grn on drivers side door boot - thanks the other problems above helped. richard

Richard, I would bet that it is the wire harness coming From the drivers front door if you pull back the rubber boot I bet you find multiple wires that are cut due to the opening and closing of the door over so many years, my 2006 king ranch had the same issue I pulled back to boot in between 20 and 30 of the wires literally were separated put in a new harness and everything in the truck started working again,

Same thing here i replaced fuses and door switches and no luck First the 2passenger windows went out and a week later the driver side so now none of the windows work

It because of something called the gem module which is behind the fussed panel in the cab either properly remove it splice a wire in you window harness the gem mod is what make the auto window function possable. So when it hose bad dosent allow the windows to go down

I have an 05 4x4 f150 lariat, I've replaced the 30 amp fuse and the regulator but no windows will go up or down . When I hit the driver's side switch the defrost lights up which is weird . Any suggestions ?

Here it is: Position Number 25 - Under the Hood Fuse Box - "Junction Box Fuse Relay Panel" / "Acc Delay Relay" - The Large 30 amp fuse under the hood Starts the Fix for your Windows and or Dome Lite. Once Replaced You hear the door locks lock and unlock as it resets. BUT The Truck Wont Start Because it blows the 5amp fuse (position 20 inside) for the Powertrain control module (PCM) and GEM Central Timer Module and Position 21 - the 15 amp Starter Inhibit Relay (W/RAP) and if equipped the Clutch Pedal (CCP) Switch (W/ORAP) Aparently when you replace the 30 Junction Box Fuse It sends enough power to blow those two fuses. This will save you about 5 hours and no telling how much money. I thought I had a serious short but turned out to be an eazy fix after a few hours eliminating so many fuses, BTW EVERY Fuse TESTED GOOD when I initially tested all of the fuses. I Heard of a person here paying $600.00 for a new window motor. I get how they could not figure it out. It was tough. Matt '97 F-150 Lariat Owner

Windows dead and or dome lights not workint. First - Replace under the hood position 25 30 amp "Junction Box Fuse" the inside replace the 5 amp fuse (position 20) PCM / Gem and then the 15 amp fuse (Position 21) Starter Inhibit Relay Now the windows work and the dome lights work and your truck will start. Once you replace the under hood 30 amp it will blow the inside 2 fuses and your truck will not start until you replace those two mentioned.
