Driver window wont go down?

[VeNoMiZeD]

Hey everybody,

I just started my car today to do an oil change. Its hot out here, so I tried to roll down both windows at the same time and for some reason, my driver windown is not going down. I did a search, becuase I know there is a trick to fixing it. I couldnt find the thread.

Can you explain how to fix it please? Thanks. I know it has something with holding the button and closing the door hard and something else.

that's it exactly

slam door while holding button

I had to get my window motor replaced. It :burn:

Had that problem when I got to the track and my window was already down, it wouldnt go up.

Tear your door panel apart and smack the window motor with a rubber hammer and WAAALLAAAAA.

Learned this trick a while back from fellow cobra owners having the same problem. I never had this happen again!

Very common New edge problem, My bullitt did it one time, took it to the dealer, replaced the motor. They said that Ford had gotten a bad lot of motors, and that the motors that they get were not from the same lot that the assy. line used, probably BS but oh well.

Did the hold the button down and slam the door trick. It worked. Thanks you guys. Its stupid that you even have to do this. But at least it fixed it. Thanks again. Problem solved.

:thumbsup:

it is definitely heat-related....seen it happen many times at track

sucks to be in the staging lane and not be able to put your window up! :uh oh:

Happens to me all the time.
One of the little quirks that make me love the car so much.

Same for me, the dealer replaced the motor.

my 01 GT did that except i couldn't get it to go back so i had to leave it open all night parked on the street.

Happened to me in my 02 GT. Thankfully i had a garage because it rained that night.

Same for me, the dealer replaced the motor.
