Ford RangerMore than two decades ago, the Ford Ranger debuted as an answer to various compact pickup trucks being made available by Japanese automakers. The Ranger was cleanly styled and offered with a choice of a 6-foot or 7-foot bed. Ford boasted that the Ranger had more interior room than the best-selling imports and that 4-by-8-foot construction material could be carried in the bed.
I have a 2001 ford ranger 4.0 4x4 with electric windows, on the drivers side the window seems to be messed up. it will role up and down fine but if it were working normaly even if you held the button down once the window was up it would do nothing, but now if you do that the motor just seems to spin. Also another issue that it has is that if you hit a bump or go over train tracks the window seeems to slide down and you have to role it back up. and also when it is roled up it doesnt seem to role up all the way it just seems to role up a tad short of being fully roled up. Any ideas as to what it is and how to fix it?
I believe the ranger has a gear on the electric motor on the regulator and not a cable driven that most newer vehicles use. Sounds like the gear is stripped on the motor in which case you'll have to buy a new motor.
I have that exact problem. Same year and model too. I took it to ford and they said the motor and regulator on the window needed to be replaced. Right now the quote is just over $300 so I'm looking at finding the parts and fixing it myself.
