Crew cab power window problems

I have a 1995 F350 crew cab that I'm having trouble with. The windows all work from the drivers door, but the passenger side in the front, and the drivers side in the back don't work from their own switches. If I'm operating one of those windows from the drivers door and you push the switch in on one of the problem doors, the window quits moving. I don't have a book that has any wiring diagram for the window circuit. Does anybody have any experience with a problem like this? Does it sound like a wiring issue, or bad switches?

Power windows are tricky, in that the problem you describe could be caused by a bad driver's switch, a bad individual window switch, or a wiring problem.


This is just a generic diagram, but they're all pretty much the same. I think your best course of action will be to open up the door panel of the problem window, and get at the window switch. Two wires should go to the motor, and the other 3 should come from the truck.

With the driver's switch in "neutral", two of the wires on the passenger door switch should have direct continuity to ground, and one should have power.

Make sure you unplug the window motor before testing.

I will definitely check out the switches in the problem doors, I hope it's as simple as a bad switch!

The wire that goes from the cab to the door is the MOST COMMON PROBLEM on the crewcab doors since they bend so much, then brake

true Brad, but if the wire is broke the window would not work from the driver side door. since it works from the master but not the door switch, it has to be a bad door switch.

Sorry, but There are 5 wires that go to each door. Only 2 are used for the master window switch
