Window switch

Hello, I just bought a 2002 F350, 4x4, Crew cab and the first time I put the drivers window down it went all the way down and will not go up. I have tried cleaning the connections on the switch and the motor and the ground. I need to get it up before it rains. Anyone have a hint on how to bypass or jumper the switch to get it up. Thanks

I would throw a switch it soon. I think the windshield washer fluid and rain water does them in.

Any idea how much switches go for? Are they a dealer only item?

First, welcome to the club!

If you still need to know how to jump the switch:
There should be a hot wire (12V+) and two other wires for that window switch. One of the two other wires is for UP and one is for DOWN. Jump to each one and see which is which. One will move the window up.

If I am wrong, someone chime in.

Got the ANSWER

I finally was able to find the right answer, the 2 wires on the window motor reverse polarity as you roll the rocker switch. I had to run 2 jumper wires and push the down button which made it go up.
Thanks to everyone for your tips and ideas. NOW, does anyone have a switch they want to get rid of cheap? Thanks again.

Actually, you should be able to just change around the DS and PS switches.

Sorry, I should have mentioned jumping 1 of the 2 wires coming out of the motor and should have read you OP more carefully.
