2008 f150 XLT window trouble
2008 f150 XLT window trouble
I have a 2008 Ford F-150 XLT 2WD CrewCab. My problem is my windows will only roll down from the master control on the drivers door. None of the other switches on the other doors will roll it down. I've tried toggling back and forth to make sure I was just dumb and had it flipped the wrong way. (No luck) I pulled the master control off. Cleaned all the connections. Still nothing. So I bought a new master control. (Only $15 on eBay) but in doing all this I noticed 2 things that seemed odd. 1 at night the illumination for the switch on the passenger doors is turned off (just like when you have them locked) 2 even though the lights aren't on if I start to roll the window up from the master control and have someone else push the corresponding doors button down it will stop me from rolling the window up. So that would mean there's some sort of connection. Right? Anyway I'm feeling dumb over here so if anyone knows how to fix it that would be AMAZING
here some more info I found from another user!
The same thing happened with my truck (2008 XLT). The issue was with a wire between the drivers side door and the cab. I pulled the rubber boot that holds the wires and found a loose connection. The wire must have been pinched at some point and the previous owner fixed it by twisting the wires back together. I spliced in a new piece of wire to lengthen it so it doesn't get pinched again (this time it was soldered and shrink wrapped like the previous owner should have done).
This may not be your issue but it's worth checking. You could loose a lot of hair trying to figure that one out!
