Power window don't work

I have a 98 Windstar and the passenger side window does not operate anymore. Are there some fuses I could check or is the motor shot?

Re: Power window don't work

Not of any help, but I have a '98 and the same window doesn't work. I haven't taken the time to investigate it yet, though.

Re: Power window don't work

I have problems with the window on the passenger side.
Each window has it's own 30amp fuse in the panel by the driver's left foot.
I replaced the motor and gear assembly (bought from rock auto) and it worked for a while.....then stopped.
I find that if I take the door panel off, and fiddle with the 3 bolts that hold the motor/gear assembly in...that it will work for a few days....
I have tried adding grease to the regulator slides....with no change.

I did post pictures, that the link in my signature takes you to, that show the replacement process for changine the motor / gear unit.
You have to drill out 3 holes in the metal inner door to get to the bolts.

Re: Power window don't work

I checked my '98 manual this weekend and I couldn't find any reference to any of the internal fuses (by your foot) being for the power windows. Am I missing something that's staring me right in the face?

The only fuse that I could find labeled for power windows was a single 30A fuse under the hood (I assume for both windows).

On my '96, other years may be different

Fuse 34 Left (driver side) power window 30 amp
Fuse 40 Right (Passenger side) power window 30 amp

Fuse 6 both rear quarter power windows 15 amp
