window motor issue

Im trying to fix the window motor on my 86 f150 i got the motor removed and hooked up the one i just got from the junk yard and it will only let the window up when i press down it does nothing i also checked the motor that came with the truck and the same thing happened so i assume there is a problem in the wire harness. any advice on this issue would be greatly appreciated

Have you checked the switch? Maybe hook it up backwards and see if it does the same thing.

If the switch works and both motors do the same thing I would look for power to the "down" side of the switch or a bad ground.
