Geez, yeah sometimes I just feel like giving up on the truck because even a simple job turns into a mess because of all the hack jobs that the PO did on it. But I love working on my truck, even if it is frustrating sometimes and I have to let it sit for a week while I wait on parts/money.

Also here's a great link for OEM Ford parts. They still carry alot of parts for our Broncos and they have great prices and customer service.

Damn! I really hope I just have a wiring issue with my window switch. My dash switch for the rear window doesn't work, but JBG wants $64 with shipping for a new one! Yikes. I need to check on the cam latch because I know mine doesn't work (the window could be put up or down with tailgate down via key)

Crown Vic? I thought this switch was unique to the Broncos?

Doh! I for some odd reason, I was thinking you were referring to the defroster button.....

As for the window button, take a look into a CV...that button is simply that, a button......Or maybe a my truck with power windows...

I already tried that. This dang switch has 5 terminals! The window is supposed to have a safety latch to prevent operation when tailgate is down to protect glass. That is what I assume is wired in there too.

I'll have to go over the wiring diagrams tomorrow to find out. A regular power window switch is only $12..there has to be something magical inside the rear switch for $64.....

Its an extra top I had that I cut the sides and top out. It has a snap on leather cover. I swap to the stock hardtop in the winter.
