2002 F-150 Power window problem

I found the fuse for all these problems after paying Ford $90 to change out a fuse. While bummed, I have now done it 5 times since so I guess it was worth it. Fuse box located in front of driver below steering wheel; 2nd column of fuses; 3rd one down

my mustang window will not go up. when i tried to let the window uo on hear a clicking noise. the year is a 2002

The click is most likely coming from the thermal circuit breaker for
the window circuit, it is in the fuse block. If you push the window
switch and it clicks and trips immediately there's either a wiring
short, bad switch that shorts/grounds when you push it, or a grounded
motor.

If the window motor or the window regulator mechanism are stuck,
there will be a short delay before the breaker trips (two to five
seconds), and the lights will dim notably from the locked-rotor
current draw during the delay.

2000 F-150. Drives side window would go down easy, but had to really push the button hard to get it to go up and eventually wouldn't go up at all. I removed the panel on the door with all the power buttons, unplugged power locks, mirrors, and window connections.

I then pulled the power windows module out of the panel, took it apart. on the bottom side of the window buttons is a rocker arm and two thin plastic posts (one for the front, one for the back) for both drivers and passenger side. These posts push a copper contact on the lower part of the module when you push the button up or down. I noticed the driver's side "Up" post was worn down (from 9 years of use) by maybe a 1/16 of an inch. This was enough though that when it was pushing the copper contact on the lower part of the module it was not making contact and completing the circuit.

I am going to look into buying a new driver's side window button, but since this happened at 9PM I needed to get the window up so I didn't walk out in the morning to a truck full of mosquitos or rain or both. I took a tooth pick, cut it down to the right length, used some thin wire to secure it to the worn down post. The drivers side window is now going up and down with no issues.

THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE MOTOR ,RELAY, SWITCH,ECT. IT IS A SIMPLE ( ?) FIX. THERE ARE 3 PLASTIC LIKE THINGS IN THE GEAR HOUSING. SOME CALL THEM DRIVE PINS OTHERS CALL THEM TORQUE PINS. WITH AGE AND OR HOLDING THE SWITCH DOWN TO LONG AFTER THE WINDOW IS UP OR DOWN THEY SELF DISTRUCT ( FALL APART) . ONCE THE MOTOR IS OUT OF THE DOOR IT ONLY TAKES ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO FIX. YOU WILL NEED TO CLEAN, INSERT THREE NEW PINS ( THEY ARE ABOUT 7/16" BY 1/2") AND FILL WITH GREASE. THIS WORKS ON MOST FORD POWER WINDOWS I HAVE NOT HAD ANY OF THE NEWER WINDOWS APART YET.

If you are hearing a clicking sound from thr fuse box are, you do NOT have a fuse or relay problem. What is going on is the motor itself is wearing out. It is basically the brushes in the motor being worn. You can't just replace the brushes, you must replace the motor. This is sometimes a rather tuff job.
If your window is in the down poss. when it gives up there is one last hope to get it back up. It will take two people. One sits in the truck with his finger on thr window switch UP buttom and the door open. The other guy stands outside and SLAMS the door. In most cases this will jar the brushes into place long enough for the window to be closed. Don't make the mistake of thinking that this fixed your problem, because it may work for one or two more times and then never again.

Fords simply ****!!! That is why they are going bankrupt.

In any car, The power windows user a relay and motor to move the window glass up and down. In my astra the front passenger and rear passenger window suddenly stopped working one after another. I took the car to the showroom and the mechanic said that the front power window assembly costs around $2000 and the rear window will assembly will cost around $1000. I said thanks to him and drove the car back home since $3000 is hell lot of money for a car repair in india that is too repair a car window!!!!. So I opened the Door pad my self and started doing R&D.
I found that the motor is not doing any noise if I press the switch. But Power is going to motor through a relay. I cut the wire between relay and the motor (1 pair wire) and direcly connected to the car battery. The motor started functioning. I took a deep breath. I found the same problem with the rear window. In both the cases the relay was not functioning. I searched for the realy but didn't get anywhere since it comes along with the window assembly.

I have designed my own relay switch using DTDP relay. I bough 2 realys for front door and 2 relays to the rear door. I have soldered the wired as required and fixed the relays connecting the input to the switch and out put to the motor. Now my both pwoer windows are working wintout any issues. Do you know how much I have spent to fix this problem? It is only 4$. (1$ per realy). So debig the issue your self and try to fix it before you take the car to the show room for repair, If you require the relay circuit for car power window, then please email me @ sunilshettyk@yahoo.com.

clean the power window motor put some oil

Try taking the door panel off & remove the speaker, tap on the motor while pushing the window button. This might only be a temporary fix, you might have replace the motor later on.

I have a 1988 F-150 truck. I'm trying to locate the circuit breakers. the manual says that it's located at Starter Motor Relay. Well, I'm lost cause I can't find anything that looks like breakers. HELP. thanks.

most of these problems are causes when a wire breakes between the door and the body. there is a rubber boot that covers the wires and supposed to prevent this but only works for a while. simmply pull the boot out on the boy side then remove the inner kick panel and check the wires, usaully its the ground wire.

replace the motor. took mine to the dealer just because I was scared of braking something. 135 just to diagnose, yeah, I learned the hardway. from now on, minor things like that, i'm gonna try and fix it.
