Power Window acting up
Hi
I was hoping to get some advice while I present some observations with my Power Window issue: 2003 Mach 1 Drivers side power window is stuck in the closed position. It was intermittent for a few years and now fully stuck, closed. When pressing the drivers side power window button, i can hear a click from within the door. There is no window movement or motor sound/grinding. When pressing the drivers side power window button that controls the passenger window, works perfectly. Never was an issue. Since i hear a click from within the door, i believe this eliminates the power window switch as it is sending power to the regulator. Beyond this I am confused. Any advice? Thanks! |

Sounds like the window motor finally died completely to me.

Re: Power Window acting up
Your bushings inside the motor have flattened and are stuck. Take the motor out, open it up, remove the bushings, clean, grease up and when installing them flip the bushings. To prevent this from happening in the future, if you keep your car in the garage, roll up the window and just slightly tap the window button so pressure is not put on those bushings with the window in the full up position.
Did this to mine in 2009 and have never had a problem since. Also had this same issue in my daughters 04 GT and it still works like a champ. Or, buy a new motor. Sadly, you cannot buy that bushing anywhere, but that is the part they replace when they rebuild them. good luck

Re: Power Window acting up
Interesting. Mine has done that a few times over the years and it seemed to be heat related. Car sitting in the sun in the summer for example. Take it home and put it in the garage or park the car where it could cool a little and it will start working again.

Re: Power Window acting up
That is your issue, exactly how mine started.
