1998 Expedition 5.4L V8 Window problem

I am having this problem... Today the door ajar light came on, didn't want to go off, checked all doors and the back window and all were closed. Running lights didn't go off and dome light didn't go off either for about 15 minutes. Husband pulled the fuse, it was fine. Replaced it, now the driver window will not go up. All other windows work fine on the driver door switch the but driver window is in the down position and will not close.
HELP... really can't pay $150+ for a new switch right now, not after having just bought and replaced the 8 coil packs and spark plugs yesterday...

The door adjar issue is a sticky door contact which usually can be fixed by spraying WD40 in all the contacts and exercising it in. Not sure how the window is related though, without checking I'm not even sure they are on the same circuit. Coincidence maybe?

Sit in the driver's seat and open the door and then slam it while holding the window switch in the up position. If this works, then the contacts for the switch are just dirty. The switch can be disassembled and the contacts cleaned.

Here is how to do it: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/8...ow-switch.html
