If it's power windows then the motor for the windows is done and it needs new switches. If you want to get brand new motor and switches it costs about $800 or if you can find some in a junkyard somewhere.
What would cause a 2000 ford windstar left power window not to go up and down?
3 things to look for
1. the door switch 2. broken wire between door and body 3. most likely the window motor has quit and will need to be replaced
Also try this!!!!
Stuck Armature BrushesMake sure the motor is in fact bad... Many times they just stop working because the armature brushes hang up and will not make contact with the motor armature. Sometimes you can slam the car door and this will jar the brushes and they will make contact with the armature. If this doesn't work you will need to remove the door panel and reach inside the door where the window motor is located and tap the electric motor with a small hammer or some other suitable object. While you are tapping the motor have someone hold the window switch in a functioning position, either up or down depending on the position of your window. I have done this many many times and hopefully it will work for you and you will not have to replace the motor. Good luckThis works great, just be careful when the window does start to move. Have whoever is tapping on the armature to remove their arm from the window path. I almost smashed my husband's hand!

I tried the armature brush thing. Worked great!! Thank you. I wasn't looking forward to replacing the motor.

I have a ford windstar 2003 and for the last one year either the front right or left power window has not been rolling down. AAA mechanics told me they have to strip the whole door so as to diagnose the problem which might cost up to $500 to fix. My car inspection was due this month and was not ready to spend that much. I came across your diagnosis and I tried it. First I did bang the door several times but didn't work and almost gave up. Then I switched on the car,closed the door,estimated the position of the armature and started banging the side of the door from the inside. Viola! within two minutes the window rolled down. Thanks for sharing you saved me a tone of money.
How do i remove the glass from a Mekra wing mirror?
Get a professional to do it.
You don't want to break the glass, and have 7 years of bad luck!
Well if everything else is working, then the window itself maybe stuck. That maybe the only that could be wrong with it.
How do you find the relay for the windows on a 1996 frontera?
da book everyone should have a manual for their vehicle, and the local library should have a SHOP manual available in the reference section--make copies of the right info and read up..you'll be a pro in no time ...good luck:) under box behind hand brake lift flap unscrew and you can see it about 4 inches long
Approximately how much does it cost to put a car window back on track in a 1994 Mitsubishi Galant?
I'm assuming you mean the window is off it's guide rail. And that these are power windows. Unfortunately, that item is sold from Mitsubishi w/ the motor as a one piece package ONLY. (I know, how stupid is that) and also that's on a 2000 Galant. Once the window is off the guide rail, most of the time it's not a simple matter of just getting back on the guide. The guide rail is made of plastic! And over time will deteriorate. So whole thing along w/ a new motor has to be installed. If you know a mechanic,you can save some $$$$. I got mine installed for only $75, (but that's because I knew this guy really well) Under regular conditions I believe Mitz. wants about $150.00 for the part (being a '94 maybe less) and Mitz said it would run another $150 to install. So check around.
What causes the radio and power windows tp stop working?
The radio and power windows may stop working due to a blown fuse, which interrupts the electrical circuit supplying power to these systems. Additionally, issues such as a faulty switch, wiring problems, or a malfunctioning battery can also contribute to their failure. In some cases, a bad ground connection can prevent proper operation. It's important to diagnose the specific cause to effectively resolve the issue.
How to repair window on 2000 cirrus it will not go up any more?
Generally with any power windows you need to check if you have power & ground to the motor. If you can put power to it, and it works, that tells you the motor is functioning. Then you need to replace the switch. If the motor doesn't work either up or down. Then the motor is bad.
How do you fix a power window that wont go up on dodge ram 1500 4x4?
It is important to keep everything in a car working well. When a power window stops working, it is important to make repair it by replacing the window motor, the blown fuse or the wiring that may be causing the windows to not function.
If the window can go down but not up, the power window motor and fuse are working. Check the switch for dirty contacts and/or wiring for damage.
Where is fuse panel on 1987 ford Econoline?

How do you fix a Monte Carlo power lock?
inside of the door of the Monte Carlo there are two tan wires, a larger one, a smaller one, a blue wire, and a black, try to get some shrink rubber for wires or electrical tape either one, I prefer the rubber all you need to do is put it on one end before tieing the two wires each together and then take a lighter and heat the rubber and it will shrink around the exposed wires. When you put the door trim back on the locks will work I recently worked on a 1992 Monte Carlo with the exact problem.
How do you fix a passenger window that won't go up on a 2000 GMC Sierra truck?
window regulators are junk in these vehicles - check for bad regulator cables regulators about 250-300 bucks and 1.0 to 1.5 hours of labor
you go behind the valley windworks (near floaroma town) use surf near that bridge go right up across there is a little island with a pokeball pick it up and theres an electrizer also there is another item next to the electrizer
i believe you take off the inner door panel and manually raise the window or remove to get to the motor and replace it with a new one
duct tape a garbage bag over the hole where the window was. nice and breezy.
How do you become a property appraiser?
Check with your state Real Estate Commission, usually under the Department of Insurance and Banking. This is a license similar to the process of becoming a real estate agent. Try searching for "Real Estate Appraiser License"
What would cause multiple fuses to blow?
A fuse always blows for excessive current. Either the device it is protecting is going bad and drawing excessive current, or you have a short in the wiring (or device).
Are you using the right value of fuse ? If this involves your brake lights or turn signals, it could be the bulb itself. Quite often the filaments short internally inside the bulb when they blow, and short the brake wiring to the turn signal wiring. Check for a bulb with a white residue inside it. If you find one, replace it. It will probably have two contacts in the base, one for each filament.
Wireless not working and is switched on but windows diagnostics says it is not on?
Try using utility from the wireless adapter manufacture. Also there are always two options to manage wireless cards. By default windows wireless zero does not have access to the wireless adapter. Try changing the last option in wireless adapter properties.
How do you fix the drivers side front window that is off the track on a 2002 Lincoln LS?
The window is not off track. The window regulator is broken. In most cases you will have to replace the window motor and regulator as an assembly.
How do you install a window regulator for a 2002 Oldsmobile alero?
I haven't done lately, but for most GM vehicles of that time period you do this:
1-Remove interior door trim.
2-Unplug window motor.
3-Remove the two bolts or nuts (10 mm head) attaching the glass to the regulator.
4-Slide the glass about 2/3 of the way down, tip it forward, and slide it out of the door.
5-Remove the four bolts (10 mm head) holding the regulator to the door.
6-Reverse the process using the new regulator.

Check the fuses in the power distribution block - usually under the hood
What happen when hz is increase?
Your question is rather vague, but what you may be asking is, "What happens in a circuit if the supply frequency is increased?"
Well, circuits have some degree of natural resistance, inductance, and capacitance, which may be modified with resistors, inductors, and capacitors. Frequency affects each of these, as follows:
- Resistance -Resistance is inversely-proportional to a conductor's cross-sectional area. In a DC circuit, charge flow distributes itself across the full cross section of the conductor. However, with AC currents, an effect called 'skin effect' comes into play -this describes the tendency of charge carriers to move closer to the surface of the conductor, essentially reducing the effective cross-sectional area of the conductor, and increasing its resistance. We call this the 'AC resistance' of the conductor; at normal supply frequencies (50/60 Hz) this is insignificant, however it increases significantly with frequency.
- Inductance -Inductive reactance opposes the flow of AC current, and is directly proportional to the circuit's inductance and to the frequency of the supply. So, as frequency increases, the circuit's inductive reactance increases.
- Capacitance -Capacitive reactance opposes the flow of AC current, and is inversely proportional to the circuit's capacitance and to the frequency of the supply. So, as the frequency increases, the circuit's capacitive reactance falls.
