Exclamation Power windows HELP!!

I'm not sure what the deal is with the power windows in my 2004 F-150 Lariat Crew Cab, but i have already replaced the driver side regulator/moter twice and the rear passenger side went out last week and the rear drivers side went out this morning. Now i have both rear windows not working and the drivers side front window works when it wants to (loose wire somewhere). I cannot find the parts for the rear windows anywhere, does anyone have any ideas where i can get these other than the dealership? I can replace them myself just don't want to pay dealership prices for these. And is this a commmon issue with this model F-150 or am i just this unlucky?

First off, welcome to FTE.

Just a thought here, as I had some intermittent issues the past few weeks. Turns out that my window switches were dirty and not working properly.
Have you taken out the switch module and cleaned the contacts yet? Might be worth it, and it only takes a few minutes (maybe 20 minutes).
Here's a link to another forum for some guidance.

I just thought this might help before attempting to replace all the window regulators, when that might not be the issue.

Thanks for the welcome.

I am sure about the regulators because in both instances i heard a POP! and the windows fell down. I can still hear the motor turning and the cable grinding in there. This is the same thing that happened twice to my drivers side window. I am sure that the front passenger window is next. Is there any after market parts for the rear windows? i just cant seem to find any.

I bought a new regulator for my daughter,s Olds Alero on Ebay.Was kinda worried about how good it would be,but was cheap,and worked perfect.
