Power Window Trouble
I recently purchased a '99 F150 and am having trouble with the drivers side power window control. I can not roll down the passenger window, if it is already down I can roll it up. I just got the truck back from the shop having the door ajar switches replaced. Any tricks to fixing this one ? ? ?

Apparently, it's a royal pain to put the door panels/window mechanism back together properly. I brought my truck in for them to investigate some odd noises coming from the power window (passenger side) and the Ford technician almost cut one of his finger's off trying to put it back together. I know this doesn't really answer your question, but I thought I'd relay what happened to my truck.

Could be a few things, but we need more info... does the passenger side switch work? If so, I'd guess it's the driver's side switch... that's the one that gets rained on/snowed on/spilled on the most, and therefore will generally fail first. Try the passenger side switch and see if it works.
It's also possible it's a mechanical problem.... motor could be bad, regulator could be jamming, one of the guide brackets could be loose, etc, but try the switch first (always eliminate the obvious before tearing the door apart).
Let us know what you find.

My window wouldn't roll down either. The problem was actually the black weather trim being bad (so I was told). They replaced and the window rolls down just fine.
