- 1998 Ford Explorer
Was wondering if anyone else might have had this problem. I had to replace a window regulator on my AWD 1998 Ford Explorer XLT on the driver side. I had never had a problem with the window on the passenger side rolling up or down, until I changed the window regulator on the driver side. As soon as I replaced that regulator (which came with a new motor), I've been having an intermittent problem with the passenger side window not wanting to roll down. I can use either switch (the one on the driver side door or the passenger side) and it won't roll down. I've been unable to figure out any specific conditions which exist when the passenger side window decides not to roll down, or when it finally decides to start working again, and it's got me a little stumped. Has anyone else had a problem like this and, if you have, what solutions did you come up with the fix the problem, assuming you fixed the problem?
(Edit: Well, it looks like I've figured out what the problem is. Today, the window stopped working again so I bit the bullet and decided to remove the door panel (and wasted more clips) and I hooked up the old motor that was on the driver side (which still worked, it's just that the regulator was all bent up and that's why I had to replace it) and it worked. So, apparently that intermittent problem is in the motor. Kind of weird that it would have that kind of intermittent problem as usually they either go out completely, or they don't. Also tried wiggling the wires to the motor around and that didn't do any good so the problem must be inside the motor itself. But, thanks everyone for your replies and suggestions.)
