Hey guys, I have a 2005 f150 super crew 4x4 XLT and the rear slider stopped. I replaced the switch and the 30amp window breaker is good. I read a good thread on this problem which involved accessing the motor behind the rear seat back. So my question is:

How do I remove the seat back?............I know how to remove the seat back thanks to this awesome site!!!! but I still need help with the window motor........

Any other suggestions to fix the problem would be great!

thanks

 

The 2 pin connector has 2 wires from the switch, Red w/ Yellow stripe & Yellow w/ Light Blue stripe.

You have access to it, which allows you to test it with direct DC power.
Hook the leads one direction it will open, reverse polarity and it will close. You can use a DC power adapter ( with a large enough fuse in it ) and strip the ends to connect to the motor.

You can use a meter to test the voltage from the switch, put the meter leads on the connector with it set to DC-volts. Press the switch, it will read + 12.x volts or - 12.x volts. When you press on the other direction the polarity will be change ( plus to neg or neg to plus ). If this works, the switch is fine and the motor or the mechanical movement is the issue.

Just make sure the DC test leads you have are fused, and check the window for obstructions prior to getting too involved with accessing the motor ( something wedge in the track, and holding the window still ? The interior lights would dim, just like pressing up on a power window switch for a window that is closed ).

 

what? where is this two pin connector? my switch is in the overhead counsel and the plug has several wires in it.........i replaced the switch and checked the fuse(see original post) so the next thing should be the motor or power to the motor which i will test at the motor.

 

At the motor
