Dead driver's side window controls


Recommended Posts

The 4 window switches on my driver's side door quit working yesterday. I tried all 4 switches and was able to get one back window to work for a bit but then the lights (on the switches) flickered out and it all went dead.

Has anyone else come across this?

Could it be a fuse? I've kinda ruled that out because it worked on and off a few times before it died.

A loose connection or faulty switch sounds more like it to me.

 

I'm not sure if this would be related but...yesterday my doors unlocked themselves while I was driving. That was odd.

Sounds like a module problem but I don't remember the name or location of the one that controls the windows and door locks.

So. Are you saying the door unlocking may be related to the windows? (same module?)

 

That's my guess. There are several modules that perform multiple functions. Since some models support global window open and close as well as remote lock and unlock from the keyfob it would make sense that it's all in the same module (but not 100% guaranteed).

 

You should be able to find out from a wiring diagram or just check with the service dept at the dealership.

Turns out that there was a busted pin on a wire. The tech repaired the connection and all is well.

 

I sure hope that all the gremlins get worked out before the warranty runs out.

I was just counting the official visits to the service dpt. FordOwner.com says I've had 10 service records since I took ownership 13mo. ago.

This is NOT a good record.
