Hi,

Driver side window wont go down or up. I can feel the motor is running when i press button down...something loose in the door panel?

Is there a link to tell me how to remove door panel and inspect, fix it before i might damage it

Its 2004 supercrew FX4

Thanks!

 

Most likely it is the regulator. This is a known problem on these series of trucks. I have replaced 2 on my 2004. Usually the window will just fall into the door unexpectedly but I had one that would grind up and down and then finally quit working. Roughly a $100-140 part from tasca or team ford in vegas. It's fairly easy to take the door panel off in these trucks to check it out. Do a search on window regulator and you find how-to's.

Hey I actually just fixed the exact same problem in my 04 lariat. Basically my window regulator had a snapped cable that runs from one side to the other on the bracket but nothing was wrong with the motor. I just went ahead and changed the whole regulator. Bought a new one on ebay for about 60 dollars with shipping. There are a couple very detailed threads with pictures on removing both the door panel and the regulator itself. Just use the search option. Hope this helps

 

Had this exact thing happen on my old Explorer. Shouldnt be hard to replace.

 

Thanks..

Window is not falling down and I tried move it down with my hand and it's very firm hold and won't moving...

Maybe something stuck..

I'll do that over the weekend.

Thanks

 

Your window regulator is toasted. I had mine replaced a month ago.

 

LIke everyone else said. The regulators in these trucks SUCK!!! They are cable driven and the cables like to snap.

I went with OReilly's parts because they are cheaper and have a lifetime warranty.

 

It's not the cables that snap, there is a swaged end on the cable that goes into a plastic retainer. The plastic retainer cracks and the swaged end pulls out. I've replace more than I can count.

 

Got it replaced by myself with your help and link.

It's now back to normal

Thank you for all your help!!!!
