Remove all guards in the way, unbolt the baterry hold down clamp, remove,then unbolt each battery terminal. replace battery with a fully charged battery of the same type. Clean the terminals good before installing back on the battery. Use thw terminal washers, usually green and red in color, red for the positive post and so on. Rough the posts, smear some battery grease on each post install washers, then battery posts themselves. Tighten both posts just to the point that they will not turn, don't overtighten them they may break, then you'll need new post ends.
This is an easy job, remove the negitive terminal and then the positive, next look at front of battery theres a bolt that holds the bracket that keeps battery in place, remove that bolt and out comes the battery install by reversing directions.

I had a small plastic piece replaced in the transmission and it solved the problem(2007). My car was still under warranty, so it only cost me about $100.00. The actual cost was closer to $900.00 because of the labor involved. I used the Ford Dealer in Schulenburg, Texas. They would know exactly what you are talking about, if you ask them.

I have the same issue, but mine got a little worse as time went on. I got a new motor for and when I took the door apart I had to lower the window. so I had to plug the switches back in, and what do you know it started working. so I tested for 15 mins stiaght and it statred working every time I pushed the button. So, I would try that first before you spend over $70 dollars just for the part.
