Wrong window switch installed.

When i tried to install my new master window switch i found that someone had installed the rear window switch instead if the one that should be in it. well the plug terminals are different. i need to change the connections in the plug to match the one that should be in the car. does anyone know what wire goes to what terminal on the switch switch?

I don't think even a wiring diagram will show the terminal locations. You may have to sort it out from a wiring diagram for the windows for your car. Each window will have it's own color code for up and down. What a nightmare! You could be at it for awhile till you get it right. The lengths and hi-jinks some people will do on their cars! I would find a like car at a junkyard, snip the connector off with just enough wire to show the color (or longer if you just wanna splice it into your wiring), bring it home and match your wiring from it. Probably only a factory service manual would actually show the terminal locations. Good luck, Odel, and you didn't even say what kind of car you had, though it made no difference to me.

Your car battery is dead. Or the cable from the battery to the 12V terminal has a bad connection.

Installed new master cylinder and now getting low pressure to right rear and left front

OK.
You might have to bleed the brakes at the right rear and left front to build up pressure and get the air out of the system.

Also, did you 'bench bleed' the master cylinder? Manufacturers recommend and require that you do this in order to get any air out of the master cylinder before installing.

I hope I helped you.

Cost of repairning windows

Hi there,

Well if none of your windows work more then likely it is a master window switch witch would be the one big switch on your drivers front door. Have you tried using the switch on the other doors to see if any of the windows work? If none of the switches work try checking the fuses and relay's first. A fuse or relay is easy and less then $20 for the part and you can do yourself just read the fuse box to locate the part. If you need a master switch call a junk yard the switch can be less then $80 there just pay someone a few dollars to install it. If the problem only related to single window then it sounds like the window motors are bad. On average, the price of a reconditioned window motor (check O'reilly or Autozone) installed on that car is about $150-$200 per window. Please post comments if you need more help or information.........

Good Luck!!

Thanks

Rear side windows

This may be just a case of inadvertently hitting the window lock out n th driver door window switch by mistake. Check that first. Here's some background on window operation

Principles of Operation
The driver power window regulator motor is controlled directly by the master window/door lock/unlock switch (and its integrated "auto down" module). Power is supplied to the power window relay and the master window/door lock/unlock switch, and the passenger power window switch when the SEC/timer module grounds the coil side of the power window relay. The SEC/timer module will ground this relay when the ignition is in the ON position and will remain energized for approximately 15 minutes or until the driver or passenger door is opened.
The driver power window regulator motor is a reversible motor that is operated by applying power and ground to the motor leads to lower the window, and then reversing polarity on those leads to raise the window.
The passenger power window regulator motor is controlled directly by the passenger power window switch and can also be controlled by the master window/door lock/unlock switch. Power is supplied to the power window relay and the master window/door lock/unlock switch, and the passenger power window switch when the SEC/timer module grounds the coil side of the power window relay. The SEC/timer module will ground this relay when the ignition is in the ON position and will remain energized for approximately 15 minutes or until the driver or passenger door is opened.
The passenger power window regulator motor is a reversible motor, which is operated by applying power and ground to the motor leads to lower the window, and then reversing polarity on those leads to raise the window.
The power rear quarter glass is also directly controlled by the master window/door lock/unlock switch. The power rear quarter glass power latches also utilize reversible motors. The power rear quarter glass power latches are operated by applying power and ground to the motor leads to open the window, and then reversing polarity on those same leads to close the window.

'00 Ford Explorer - Master window switch won't work rear windows

Without proper electrical diagnostic equipment and based on the very through description that you gave I would suggest getting a new switch. I say a new switch because on the drivers side the switch is one giant junction block. I have the same vehicle and had my door panel off for some locking issues.

I have attached a link to Ford Direct. The part that you are looking for is Window switch, explorer, 4 door, right
