pieman18 Member 22 Member For: 12y 9m 21d Posted 30/01/21 06:43 AM Share Posted 30/01/21 06:43 AM Hey guys So I’ve got a Ford territory daily driver at the moment and there’s an issue with the passenger side window which I’m struggling to diagnose. The window is currently fully up, When you hit either up or down on the switch from either drivers door switch or passenger door switch you can hear the window motor work when it tries to wind up, but not a sound when you try to wind the window down.I thought it may have been the motor so Grabbed one from the wreckers, same problem. I then bought a new window assembly with motor and regulator, removed the old assembly and chucked the new one in, still the same issue! What could be causing the window to seemingly wind up normally, but nothing when you wanna wind it down?Could it be both switches somehow on the fritz? All other windows work perfectly from all switches. Any ideas would be very helpful! Cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve since discovered the rear drivers window will wind down from all switches, but only up from the master switch, not the single door switchWiring problems are a little over my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsure if it'll fit in the front though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
