I've read multiple threads on this forum and others regarding failure of the power sliding rear window. The forums have helped me access to all of the system components, and I've nailed down the motor as the problem. Switch is good, I get +/- 12V at the motor, the truck lights dim considerably when pushing the switch either direction, and the cables run smoothly (not jammed or rusted). The motor only wants to turn one way for some reason. I've tried to encourage the motor with some "tapping", with no luck.


What I have been unable to find in any forum is where to get a new motor for the rear sliding window. I've tried:
-Ford dealerships, who will only sell me the motor as part of an assembly which includes the wires and wire housing for the rock bottom price of $410.
-NAPA, who tell me they don't have a suitable replacement part.
-Rock Auto, who also do not have a suitable replacement part.
-Ebay. The best I've found here is $150 USD for the same assembly Ford is selling, but no one who will ship to Canada.
-7 or 8 salvage yards in the Calgary/Edmonton area. Apparently no one is crashing newer F150s with sliding rear windows.


Has anyone had luck finding a reasonably priced replacement sliding rear window motor for a 2010 truck?
