FORD F250 Automatic Windows
I have automaic windows in my 90' F250.
Two nights ago the drivers side went down and
decided it was not going to go back up.
It is not the switch. How can i find out if it is the
window motor or not?

A couple of months ago my passenger side window started making a lot a racket and going up slow. I decided it was a job for "Window Man" and took it to the local autoglass store. He replaced the gear for $45.00 and it worked okay until about a week ago when it quit all together. This time it was $103.00 to replace the motor. Moral of the story, maybe I should have replaced the whole thing to start with.

Got it fixed
Well after using a VOM meter to test eveything up to the motor
i came to the conclusion that it was the motor. Getting the motor out was a bugger. only one of the bolts was visible. So used a metal bit and drilled holes in the sheet metal where the bolts were and used a socket and spinner (screwdriver tipe handle)
to remove the last two bolts (three in all) Make sure to use a big enough bit so that the socket will fit through. Also make sure you have a magnet rod. i dropped the screws inside the door many times. Problem solved
