Well, unfortunately I just went through this and my window has been stuck down for two weeks. I replaced the master window switch and that solved the problem with the other window that was hesitating going up and down, it did not however cure the downed window. I am currently gutting the regulator and replacing. Not cheap. $170 for the whole assembly from Ford. The motor iteself is almost as expensive as the whole assembly so that is why I am replacing evertyhing. It is not too hard to replace. Door panel must come off....unbolt the regulator....push out the clips at the bottom of the window/regulator. Taking the foam insulatoion off the door panel was not fun. Use a razor blade if you have one. Remember there are screws under the door handle. Take the cap off to find.
With a stuck window down, Ford has really got you over the barrel. My car is a '98. With that low of years, I can't understand a window going bad that is barely used.
Ford=crap.
SVT=expensive crap.
Unless Ford hands me a new 2000 spec tranny, I will always think that way. I've already steered one brand new Ford sales buyer elsewhere. I will never own one again. Ford doesn't stand by it's product.
To think, $5000 dollars profit on a new Explorer. Long term, Ford will lose market share. Steered me bad.
A toyota Celica might look like a chics car but at least I know it IT'S GONNA LAST!
svt, NOT FAST ENOUGH TO PAST THE NEAREST REPAIR STATION.
I am mechanically inclined but until I own the car, I can't afford to risk doing my own repairs and rebuilding the engine or removing the tranny.
