No problem. This was a lesson I learned the hard way.

E-Bay - There are plenty of 2000 Explorer/ mountaineer factory wiring manuals. These factory manuals are large easy to use and read.

^ No real need to pay for a paper manual, *almost* anything you'd need is linked in my sig, and easier still to read on a large monitor or TV where you can zoom in, along with being able to put them on your phone to always have with you or at least at the vehicle while troubleshooting... along with Forscan on the phone and a OBDII dongle, I gotta love phones as portable computers.

Besides, the applicable window wiring diagram was already posted in post #2.

Jumping the battery to the switch panel blue/black is an option but not really needed. You can just follow the wiring diagram and test for 12V at each point in the circuit including on the relay box contacts. Wherever there is not 12V when there should be, move one point on the wiring diagram closer to the battery to check again. A multimeter alone can solve this.

Ditto, the exact wires to test have already been described several times. With the information already mentioned in this thread, anyone with a voltmeter can find a fault in the power window system.

Check the one main power wire, nothing else matters until the blue/black wire has power in it at the master switch. Then check the large black wire as a good ground.

Does that black box under the steering colum close to brake peddle that has the relays are they the same in the 1999 mountaineer as in the positions in the picture at the 1st page of this thread

Aaaaand..you have solved MY need for a manual with your "more Explorer wiring and manuals" which covers my 98 Ex! Kudos! Can read it on my large monitor. Thanks!

What a great thread
It was the gem module

The wiring book is so handy for this because it goes over troubleshooting the power windows

Even easier if the book is just a link on the explorerforum!!

Good show
