my rear passenger window wont go down iv already checked the master switch and the window switch iv found that when i try to go down i get power on the down wire and on the up wire i know this is causing the problem but i dont know why im getting power on both wires when i try to go down. The window will go up and i only have power on the up wire when i go up, does anybody know what i should check next.
 






Welcome aboard!! :salute:

A lot of electrical issues can be traced back to broken/damaged wire(s) in the boot between the body and the driver's door. I found 3 broken wires and repaired them. The thin black ground wire was broken and after repairing it all was back to normal. When the windows stopped working, I repaired the thick black ground wire and the windows now work like a champ. I had to repair the pink/black wire to fix the driver door lock actuator.

Here is the thread for removing the door panel: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums//showthread.php?t=303524

Here is a great thread for checking for broken/damaged wires, thanks to synyster for this awesome write-up: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums//showthread.php?t=270081

Be sure to take your time when looking for broken/damaged wire(s). Check all the wires for breaks/damage. When you think you're done looking, look again, and again, and again. A bright flashlight can be very helpful.

If all else fails, here is a great link for troubleshooting the power windows, thanks to theofam for this great link Dead Link Removed
I have this downloaded and can email it to you. I have the wiring diagrams as well.

Good luck with the fix. :biggthump
