Can I bypass a failed express down window module?
Hi,
93 Explorer XLT: I think the express down window module is bad (part #F2DB-14B118-AB), and I'm having trouble readily locating an affordable replacement that I trust spending money on. Can I remove the express down module and jumper any combination of the connection/wires allowing me to remove the module and just have the window operate like any of the other windows? I would want to do this with aligator clips/wires if possible so that it's not permanent, I think I'll eventually get the part I need somewhere. Meanwhile the A/C doesn't work (gonna convert it later to newer r-134) and I'm burning up in the drivers seat as the weather gets hotter!
Oddly enough, sometimes the driver's window works when it's very hot & sunny, but soon as the sun sets or clouds/rain sets in and the temp drops, it stops working. But it doesn't consistently work when it's hot. Just sometimes.

Yeah, I don't think it would be a problem to bypass. Several years ago on a forum for the SHO a guy asked if it would be possible to add the express down to the passenger window and I drew up for him how to do it. That was on a 1993 Taurus SHO, so I imagine the reverse is also possible on your 1993 Explorer. If you send me a Private Message to remind me, I'll try to draw something up tonight on how to bypass the module. I'm running out of time this morning.
