Had this problem today on a 96 Rav. The fuse for the windows and locks is very very well hidden!
Remove the grey plastic panel under the steering wheel, this goes right across from the centre console to the side of the car, and has a small fuse box and bonnet release handle attached. I was confronted by a white plastic block conector to the very outside of this space, with a green housin on it as well. This is mounted by three 10mm bolts, 2 top, and 1 bottom. I un-did these, and the fuses are on the back!! Pink, 30 amp square fuse. Took me an hour to find!
Which fuse controls the power windows in a 1997 Mountaineer?"
Bad relay, most likely.
Under the hood, #10, a 30A Maxi fuse, controls power seats and windows too.
Locks up the torque converter.
Remove the fuse or the relay.
The horn relay, the daytime running lights relay and if the vehicle has power door locks, the relay for that too.
The 1997 Ford Explorer has a 30 amp maxi-fuse in location # 10 of the power distribution box in the engine compartment for power windows/locks/seats. There is a relay in the box under the dash to the right of the steering wheel.
Fuel pump relay, horn relay, daytime running lights relay and if there is a fourth relay it would be for the power door locks.
On your 1997, there is a 30 amp maxi fuse (light green color) in your power distribution box in your engine compartment, in location # 10, for all 4 power windows,your power seats, and power locks. THE PD BOX IS LIVE - DISCONNECT YOUR NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE
Cause the window motor is out
On a 1997 Ford Explorer : The ( # 10 maxi fuse ) is a light green color 30 amp fuse for the power windows , door locks , and seats ( 2nd row from driver side , 3rd maxi fuse from firewall end )
Probably a blown fuse or bad relay.
