Electric Windows

if you get one from a scrap yard for £10 to£15 you get the whole lot with slide rail . you take the door panel off there is three nuts to the motor and two screws to rail and one slide clip that holds the glass in place

I have the same problem. Drivers side master window switch is broken. I continue to use mine, but it doesn't always work. I think the answer is to buy a new switch. They are $300 + Canadian from the dealer....less from a scrap yard. The actual replacement is easy, carefully pry up the complete houing from the door ledge, disconect the wire hardness. Reverse to put the new one in place. I pulled mine out, the switch itself levers on a tiny thing piece of plastic, it's only a matter of time till they go. Best of luck.

I have repaired two of these by simply spraying contact cleaner on the slide switch under the driver window toggle switch. Use a small, flat bladed screwdriver to gently lift the plastic tab catches while prying the cover sideways. There is two sets of catches. Do the black one first then the gray. The window lock pushbutton will need to be pryed off as well. Be sure to realign all the toggle switches upon reassembly.

I have the same problem, same year of car too, I do have a manual window crank, they told me to unscrew the 9-10 screws and the outside panel comes off.

Gear box has failed or scissor arms on lift mechanism for window are broken. More than likely the key, or pin for the gear is broken.

You either have a bad circuit breaker (located in the driver's side fuse panel) or a short in the power supply to the switches.

The relay is under the dash in a relay box that is just right of the steering column. There is tape around it that needs to be removed and then the cover pops off. It's a bit ackward to get at. The window relay is the largesr relay in the box. Part numbers vary by model so pull it first to get the number. I replaced mine for $7 this week and now my windows work. Theye were intermittent before then and also cause the 4WD and 4WD Low lights to flash on and off at times. This seems to be a consistent hint of this relay. The Ford parts departrment was NOT going to confirm that this was the window relay but after I told him I would just replace it rather than paying $100 for thie diagnostic fee he said it controlled the windows plus a whole list of other items. If anybody has a full schematic of this relay box I would love a reference to it.

Power motors will give you a warning before they completely break down. This "warning" is what you are experiencing. Go to a local auto parts store, tell them the make/model/year, and buy the part. Then take it to an auto-glass company (your insurance agent should recommend one) and they may be able to install the motor. It's MUCH cheaper to buy the part first and then have it installed. This is what I did for a 1996 GMC Jimmy, and I saved a bunch of money.

you have to reset the computer.

It's the motor assembly that causes the door to go up and down.

the fender probably fills up with water. You need to make sure that the drain holes under the car are open. this shorts out the motors. then you need to access the motor and have it rebuilt or find a used one.

Take your time and try to lift a side in order to put it back on track. No luck? Than you may need to use a flat screw driver and look under the window for the wheel that is off track and carefully pry that wheel up and slide it back into place.

No they are not. They are available separately. The motor is available from most parts houses...the regulator is dealer only!!!

To get your power windows to work in your 1994 Astro Van, first remove the interior door panel. Now you can access the actuator, the window switch, and the window motor. Replace the broken part in order to make the windows work again.

order a new regulor with motor on the internet. it should not cost anymore than 65$ then take car to auto window shop they should charge no more than $80 to install it.

the regulator with motor will cost about $400 at a dealer and over a hundred.

I have had to replace the regulator on all 4 doors in the last 2 yrs.

Sometimes an electronically controlled (or manually for that matter) mirror will become displaced due to a bump on the housing, which allows a certain amount of movement. This is so the mirror doesn't get snapped off if it gets bumped.

When this happens the control mechanism at the back of the mirror is dislodged and must be coaxed back into place, it's not too difficult, just have a good look at it and work out what you need to do.

Either a fuse or a broken wire. On my 1998 Mountaineer the wire broke inside the boot that runs from the body to the door. The fix was to cut plastic tie that holds the boot up, pull the boot down and find the broken wire. It is the green wire with a black stripe on it. I spliced a piece of wire in and everything worked again. This wire is the power wire that goes to the control module where you roll the windows up or down.

it is very likely that your door panel window switch is bad. mine didn't last but six months and i have heard others having problems with these switches, as well. only thing to do is order a new switch from your Ford dealer as these are dealer item only. won't find them at local auto parts store. also, it's not that hard to remove your door panel and replace the switch (or switches). don't know really why the window switches go out my best guess is that the contacts go bad or stop making contact when used. good luck.

Not an answer to your question but I walked Orr side and my same window was shattered. I'm thinking it's a falty.

Bad window regulator. The cables are not pulling evenly and it tilts the window.

If your car is a Ford Taurus or Sabel there is a known defect... There is a technical service bulletin for water leaks on the passenger's side of the Taurus/Sable. Ford has come up with a revised cowl panel weather strip extension to fix this problem. In addition, sealer needs to be put around the fresh air inlet of the heater system. Apparently, Ford has found that water runs through the heater box and exits through the heater blower motor into the vehicle cabin on the passenger's side. Go to a Ford dealership to have the problem corrected. If the vehicle is still under warranty, it will be covered. Otherwise, you will have to pay for the work. Success to you. My car has pollen filter in the air intake system which blocked up and and developed the same symptons with water leaking into the passenger footwell. It is a five minute job to replace this filter.

Remove the door panel. Use a coat hanger or ty rap to secure the window in the up position. Disconnect the wiring from the motor. Remove the bolts that secure the glass to the regulator. Remove the regulator. Install motor on new regulator. Installation is the reverse procedure. 6 to 8 bolts in entire process. Good Luck. CAH

fuse box should be located drivers side kick panel. pull cover off. cover indicates fuse (pwr wind. 30a should be exactly in center. inside of cover should ave a white puller and a few spare fuses. if not, use a pair of needle nose pliers. pull fuse out and push new fuse in.

Be sure to read out the wires going to the motor. The motor may not be bad, unless the signs are obvious like grinding. A banging in the door isn't necessarily a bad motor, just the glass coming loose from the rail or a rail arm out of the rail slide or a bolt has fallen out. Troubleshoot the problem with the panel off before you replace parts.

Remove the door panel. There are screws in the arm rest. Tape the glass to keep it in the up position and in place. Disconnect the electrical input. Drill out the rivets holding the motor to the door plate. Make sure you have fasteners and a means to install them. disconnect the rail from the motor input shaft. remove the motor. Installation is opposite the removal.
