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)

If I'd known, I'd have salvaged the one from my crown Vic and gave it to you...

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.
