05 f150 power windows are super slow rolling up? I changed out alternator and the battery and still all the windows roll up really slow. Any ideas?

 

Mine wasn't slow, but tempermental. You could try cleaning some to the contacts.

might be your regulator starting to fail... search on window regulator

 

the window motors are dying, I've had the same issue. You CAN'T buy a replacement motor from Ford, you have to buy the whole window regulator assembly which is about $180 if I remember correctly. Its a fairly easy install once u know how it works, should only take about an hour to do.

 

I bought a driver's side regulator about a month ago and it was only $100. I think the ones for the 4-doors are more expensive though. The problem is definitely the motor, but you have to buy it and the regulator as one since they are press fit together.

 

Just replaced mine .... see http://www.a1electric.com/catalog/ca...-truck-mtr.htm
and http://www.ford-trucks.com/tsb/fullt...php?tsb=07-2-6

After I replaced my driver's side regulator, I adjusted the window as shown in the second article. The window now moves much quicker up and down.

Also, the regulator size for the front doors on the SCab and SCrew are different.

 

Are you able to copy this article and put it here....I for one really do not feel like joining yet another forum.....thanks. Oh, you can't see the entire article from your second link unless you are a member.....Thanks.

It might not be the regulater. That is what I thought the issue was with my truck but 3 window regulators later within a week, and it turned out to be a wirein g issue on the other end of the truck. So the best advice I can give you is check out everything before you jump to a conclusion that it is one thing, when it might be another.

 

The Regular cab and Crew cab trucks have narrower doors than the super cab. A supercab front regulator is larger than the reg/crew regulator, which would probably have something to do with the price difference.

 

Thanks for all the feed back, I think it might be the regulator eventualy. Yesaterday I took apart the door panels of my wifes expedition 05 and the tracks were so dry and that is what was causing the window to go up so slow. So I greased them up and good to go. Thanks for all the feed back.

 

Jim H ... here you go

FORD:
2005-2007 F-150
LINCOLN:
2006-2007 Mark LT
ISSUE:

Some 2005-2007 F-150 and 2006-2007 Mark LT vehicles equipped with power windows may experience a customer concern of slow power window travel when raising the window; it may be due to a concern with the alignment of the window glass.

ACTION:

Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

Lower the window completely, and measure the amount of time it takes for the glass to travel from the fully open to fully closed position.
If the time is less then six (6) seconds then DO NOT perform this TSB.
If the time required to move the glass from the fully open to fully closed position is greater than six (6) seconds, continue with this TSB.
Inspect the glass runs to make sure they are not wavy and causing additional resistance to the glass.
Remove the door panel following Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 501-05, access the glass clamps through the openings in the door sheet metal. (Figure 1)


Figure 1 - Article 07-2-6

Loosen the glass clamps (using a 1/4" drive T-30 Torx socket).
After loosening the glass clamps, the glass should be pushed up into the header, by hand, then shifted rearward, until it stops against the rear window run seal, and then lowered back into the clamps. (Figure 2)


Figure 2 - Article 07-2-6

NOTE: MAKE SURE THE WINDOW IS SEATED IN THE BOTTOM OF THE GLASS CLAMPS. TIGHTEN BOTH CLAMPS AND VERIFY PROPER WINDOW PERFORMANCE, BY AGAIN TIMING GLASS CLOSING SPEED.

Thanks! Will have to time my passenger side to see if that is the cause....

Wouldn't jump to conclusions like many stated. I thought my windows were going bad too. I cleaned the contact and it helped but no fix. I took the door and inspected the regulator and all was fine.

I drive with my windows down a lot, and live in farm country. My window tracks had basically become so filthy the window wasn't moving smoothly anymore, and this was causing it to be super slow. I would recommend going to the local auto parts store and buying some silicon lubrication spray and shooting it in the tracks with the window down. See if that fixes it. If so you just solved your problem for $175 cheaper than buying a new regulator which will not help your situation any.
