Remove the door panel and check to see if the motor is getting power through the switch - if so motor is bad If it is not getting power "jump" the wires on the switch
Look for an open wire - may be located in the door jamb where it flexes
Change the motor. These cars are notorious for this.
some times the window motor sticks lack of use i work on used cars so before i take it apart i push the switch for down and with a open hand i bang on the outside of the door
On most cars it just pries out of the door handle. Be careful not to break it.
on most cars this is most likely the WINDOW MOTOR, But on the JAG. It is most likely the SWITCH, Yes switches go bad on ALL makes, especially when they do not get used very much. Jamison. Power window switches can be found on eBay and at Rock Auto for under $10.00 each (new).
No there is not a fuse. The motor for the power windows could be going out. It happens all the time in middle aged cars.
No a solenoid switch (full name) does not control a cars electrical system. The solenoid is an electrically operated switch that sends power to the starter motor which in turn cranks the car's engine to start it. The reason a second (electrical) switch is needed to crank the starter motor, is that the starter motor requires such high voltage that the key would melt if all that power were to run through it. In other words; When you turn the key you are sending a small amount of power to the solenoid switch which in turn sends a large amount of power to the starter motor.
There isn't a fuel shutoff switch on General Motor's cars.

Typically the cause of a window not rolling up or rolling up slowly is a bad motor, especially if the car is old and the motor has never been replaced. However, there are several other possibilities such as faulty wring, blown fuse, or a bad switch. Faulty wiring is easily checked with an ohm meter. A blown fuse is also easily checked by checking the fuse controlling the windows on your fuse panel. Another possibility, which is often the case in 90's Ford cars (though perhaps not for the 86 T-Bird), is the passenger side window switch is dead. If it is then the window will not roll down AND it will not roll down if you are using a switch for that window on the drivers side (if your car is equipped with two switches for the passenger window). On the 85 T-Bird both switches are on the same connection. If this is the case for the 86, then this is not the problem. However, you might want to check the switch anyway, because taking the door panel off for the 80's t-birds to get at the window motor is a pain. == == == ==
The fuse for the power windows is #17 and is a 30 amp fuse. On some of those cars there's also a rectangular white switch on the center shift console above the passengers side window switches that shuts off power to the windows when depressed.
it is most likely the power window motor. they really only seem to last several years. I do NOT suggest getting rebuild motors. I bought 2 rebuilts last year and got less than a year out of them. pay the extra and get the new ones.AnswerThey just need to be replaced...Our cars are known to have Crappy power window motors. Answereither the switch is dead the wiring went bad or the window motor itself is dead check all three and replace what's needed AnswerMay be motor or short in wiring. Camaro's are notorious for both. For all of the previous answers, they are all based on "shotgun" service,,,,Replace the part and hope that is the problem.If all of the power windows are not working, look for the common source---relays, fusible link, fuses.
Power from a light or the sun strikes a solar panel. The panel converts the light into useable power to operate the cars motor.
