Power Windows will not close

The passenger side power window on my 2000 Expedition will not close. It is stuck in the fully open position. I checked all of the fuses and they are fine. When I push the switch on both the driver's side and the passenger's side I don't hear any sounds in the door, but I do notice a slight drain on the battery on the dash voltmeter. Any ideas?

My 97 F150 will do this on occasion also. Sometimes tapping on the window motor will temporarily fix the issue. Take the door panel off and tap it with a hammer and that will sometimes make it work for a while. At least that has helped me in the past. The motor itself really seems like a pain in the butt to replace. Good Luck

Chris,
Thank you for the quick reply. Does the door panel just pop off?

Take the trim pieces off the top and remove the door handle then just pull up and it will come off. DON"T PULL OUT just up. oops also pull off the switch panel it is snapped into the door just pry it up gently.

Sorry to give such a short answer but I am running out the door and my wife is yelling from the car.

Good Luck

That sounds like the brushes in the motor are sticking.
