Window no-go down FYI - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

I have found through trial and error that the ghost window malfunction is relative to the cars placement with the sun. If the driver's door faces the sun, the window will not go down. When it doesn't go down, and is allowed to sit away from the sun for a bit, the window works again. If the car is parked with the driver's door away from the sun, it works every time.
Weird.

I am thinking some insulation between the driver's side window motor and the door may be in order, and will let you know if it cures the random no-go of that window motor.

Just my two cents,anything hot will effect electrical components.It happens in my car all the time.I live in El Paso,TX for the last 2 1/2 years.Every summer my car acts screwy during the winter time it acts normal.It took me a yera to figure it out...........Kevin

Look at the fuse box under your seat and there's a metal silver circuit breaker pull it then put it back in and your windows should work. When its loose it will cause this problem.

ive had this same problem, what i do now is not completely let the window slam to the top. i just leave it a fraction of an inch from the top. its easiest to do when the door is open. i have not had it stick one time since i started doing it this way.
