Help: 2000 windstar Power Window Not working

[95windstar]

Thanks so much for this posting. Made the job so much easier and better. I'm guessing my motor (like a lot of others) had just developed a single bad spot - and now that I was able to move it off there - its working fine. BTW - repair manual for 95-98 does not mention drilling out the dimples - which was definitely the key to this job. Thanks again!

Same here, this thread saved me a lot of work, drilled out the dimples to remove the motor on the passenger side window of my 99 SE. Pulled out the motor hooked up the wires and found the motor works fine. Put it back in and the window works again. Perhaps another motor with a bad spot?
Anyway, working again for now, if it stops again I'll pull it back out and put in a new one.

Thanks for this thread. Found very useful. My problem was slightly different. I had BOTH windows stop working at same time. Ford diagnosed both motors bad. NO WAY!! I pulled driver's motor from regulator and hooked back to power -- tested no problem with motor. Put back in worked great. Did same on passenger window -- again no problem. Passenger motor was slightly jammed on regulator and required a little encouragement to dislodge. Leads me to believe that it had jammed and caused some type of circuit protection to kick in. Read in Haynes about a circuit breaker and may require resetting; however, does not say where or how.
Thanks again .... now to get the lighting issues resolved -- hopefully the new headlight switch will cure that tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
