Power Window inop

I have a 99 windstar and the Front Passenger window is inop in the "up" position. all other windows work fine any suggestions?



If it involves replacing the motor, would you point me in the direction of a door schematic.

thx

Any service manual will have door diagrams. They will also have test procedures.

Make fused jumpers and test the window directly from battery power before you do anything. Search on my user name and all the words "test" "fuse" "window" and it should pull up what I posted.

I would suspect a switch first, the harness second, the window motor very last because the pass. side hardly gets used. The switch could also be defective on the DRIVERS DOOR and not passing power to the pass. side.

Yes, you are right but in my Haynes manual, the door seems to differ from what I have under the door's interior.

Thx Rebocardo, YOU have some insight that is worthwhile,... thx

My dear departed wife had a 98 Windstar that the passenger side window quit in the up position. As well as I remember, it wasn't that hard to get to the inside. I checked voltage at the motor and to my surprise...the motor was bad. It's not very big either as well as I can remember.
