I can't get my drivers door window to open unless i pull down on the window several times. When it is wet raining out the window works fine???? I took off the door inside cover looked for anything broken or jamed up and even sprayed all trackes with wd40 still won't work HELP

 

Did you check the electrical conections? Wiring going into the door from the fender and the grounds.

 

Use silicone spray! It works!

 

Sorry not electrical windows old crank up style. Also this is a 1993 extended. I should have had this infromation in first post

 

Try use silicone spray first.... may be you need to reolace no parts...

 

WD-40 is not a lubricant, but rather a penetrant ( a lousy one at that) / solevent. It is useful for cleaning some things, but is not suitable to lubricate anything for any length of time. Silicone works much better as a lube.

 

used a silicone spray on all tracks working like new. Thanks to all that responded

 

WD40 is loaded with coal tar and other thick gooey heavy oil base products...once the solvents dry out, all that's left is the sticky goop

only thing it's good for is starting fires, works great on charcoal except the after taste makes a good T bone taste like a bucket of tar

even use silicone spray in all the door locks...keeps them from freezing in winter....powered graphite picks up water and freezes solid...not fun with all the locks frozen shut, fingers frozen and no cigarette lighter to heat the key 40 miles from the pavement

 

I'm told WD-40 works OK for helping start old diesels . . .

The silicone spray trick seems to work really well on Ford window channels.

 

Starting the old diesel with wd-40 ore ethyr may cause little bang, that can easily ruine boost pressure sensor, MAF (if equiped), intercooler ore plastic heses and air filter. The better way - is to use fire.

Put some diesel fuel to stick with old cleaning cloth, remove air filter and let cranking engine suck a fire in. But do it carefully, not to burn bosst pressure sensor and IAT.

 

Did I say old diesel? I meant that: old. No boost pressure sensor, no MAF. Say, LD28 or SD22.

I don't recommend WD-40 for starting diesels (and esp. not for any diesel that has a manifold heater or GPs), but I've heard that it works for that.

 

We have some old MAZ trucks, 1 Volvo F12 with really old diesels. Nozzls need replacement.... They run up the hill in clouds of black smoke..... turbine sounds like engine of jet plane.... Yeah! they are older then me.

 

If all the lubrication ideas fail, try this:
- pop off the interior panel so you have access to the "inner" door (via the various holes)
- close the window
- carefully put your arm into one of the access holes and try twisting (clockwise or counter-clockwise) the tracks the window slides up/down in, trying the crank each time to see if it helps the problem or makes it worse

I have a '93 Aero AWD w/electric windows that had the same problem until I realized the tracks were just slightly twisted. A little twist (apparently straightening them enough) made all the difference in the world, and they went up/down like new.

 

This morning it was the first time< when I tried to open windows this spring... It was cold and I did not open them.

Pass side window goes down, but not up, driver door window wont open.... Gee.... I need some repare too....
