Window won't go up...

[impulse001]

So like it says.. My passenger window wont go back up.. It's always in the garage and I keep the windows open.. Yesterday I tried to bring it back up and it wouldnt do anything (like some wire is disconnected). After a few minutes I tried again, and it worked. Today the same thing happened, it wont go up. Everything else works but that. Neither the drivers side or the passenger side button will bring it up.

I'm going to take the door apart to see if any wires are loose, but are there any other ideas if that doesnt work out?

*Update*

I took the door apart, didnt find any wites loose.. Went to try the window again, still wont work. Only now, the drivers side window doesnt go up either. I'm going to get a new fuse for it but I doubt thats it. I hid the wires on the drivers side of the engine yesterday, but I dont think they have anything to do with the windows?

its probably your power motor going....time for a new one..

Thats what I though, but the drivers window isnt working now either.. Doubt they would both go at the same time like that.

And of course, the fuse was fine..

you bought a lemon.

my passenger one does this too. i just have to fiddle with the switches and it will work again. its prolly a switch or something somewhere.

Its prolly the brushes in the motor. My vert did that one day. Rolled down it wouldnt go up. If you slammed the door it would sometimes go up. The solder joints on the brushes were loose. I took apart the motor found the problem and fixed it. Its easier to just replace the motor.

+1 for the motor being bad. my passenger window died this weekend in a similar manner.

sounds to me like its the window switch on the drivers side...being that your having problems with both, the drivers side one does control both windows... i would jump out the switch to see if both windows work and get a switch if necessary.... i find it very doubtful that both window motors went bad at the same time...

also just another thought... im not sure where yours are grounded but you did mention some wire hiding you did... just double check all the grounds... hope this helps..

Well, still havnt fixed the problem.. Since one went, then a little after the other window went.. I'm guessing it is the window switch on the divers side. Is there anyway to test it before I go and spend money on a new one. Also, can I just buy the up and down switches? when I took it apart, that seems to be all that controls it.

It's gotta be the switch, from my experience; when the drivers side switch is disconected then the pass side switch wont work at all.

I agree, thats the first thing I thought too.. But when I took the switch apart, I noticed that each switch (left window, right window, lock/unlock) are individual. The rest of the piece is just holding the wires in place. That means that both left and right window switchs had to go bad.. So thats whats making me sceptical of it..

id say junkyard is the best bet to getting the whole unit...you can buy the individual buttons from advance auto parts and ect. but i dont think that is going to solve your problem

Man thinking about this makes me want to buy a newer car, every fox ive had ive swapped out 2 or more motors in them, hell my sn95 I put in a door motor in, Ive done this like 11 times now... lol

Try taking the switches apart and cleaning them.
Mine done the same thing, i cleaned them and they work perfect.

No i have to install lock solenoids

Lol.. Well i'm waiting for friday for another friend with a mustang to come by so I can try his window switch in mine.. But today i noticed something.. I had the key turned so I get battery, and when I tried the window switch, the battery meter on the dash moved. Wouldnt that mean that the switch is, in fact, working? That kinda sucks if it is working, because i guess both window motors went then..

So I tried a different window switch, but it still doesnt work. Is there a way to check if the motor is working with a multi-meter or anything? Any other suggestions?
