Power windows won't work

Have a 07 F150 ext cab FX2. None of the door windows will operate with any of the switches but the slider in the rear works. According to the owner's manual the doors and slider are on the same circuit. The 30A breaker tested good. Any ideas???

One of 2 things comes to mind

1. Bad master power window switch

2. Broken wire from the A-pillar to the driver's door, cutting off power to the switch.

The easy route is to pop the switch panel, and check for power on the Light Blue w/ Black stripe wire on the switch, when the key is in the run position



If you have power to the switch, next would be to test the switch.

Thanks. I have power to the switch so it must be the switch. I'll take it the the dealer tommorow. I was hoping it was something simple and save me a 40 mile trip to the nearest dealer.

Thanks for the help.

Test the switch yourself with an ohm meter or self powered test light :





If this proves out that the power into the switch is no good, you can order one online, usually cheaper than a local dealer ( unless you have a good local dealer ) and have it shipped to your door. This is not including the 40 mile trip and your time, which would put you way ahead of the game.

thanks, It still has 5 months and a few thousand miles left on the warranty. I'm going to let Ford pay for this one.

Thanks for your help
