Powe window issue

[bruinator]

I am new here so I will first say hi. I have a 95 ford mustang in which I have an issue with. I have power windows that are giving me a problem. My driver's side window will not power up or down. The power button is not working. I have the same issue with the passenger's side door. The difference is The power button that is on the drivers side will still let me control my drivers side window so it goes up and down. I am mainly troubled with the driver's side door though.

What I would like to know from you guys here is does it sound like my problem with the windows is caused from needing a new power window motor or do you think it is the switch? I know both are located behind the panel so I will have to pull that apart. How do I figure out where the problem is coming from? I will look for loose connections hoping that is the issue but if it is not, how do I tell?

thx

If the you hit the switch, and the motor is good, you should be able to hear the motor "engage" inside the door.

Chances are, however, the switch is bad and needs replaced.

Nine times out of ten it's the switch. Mine was out when I got it, but since I watch my brother's son, I haven't got it fixed yet since I don't want him to have control of the window and such.

Agreed about the switch. My passenger side switches don't work. I havn't bothered to take care of them, only because as the driver, I make the window decisions.

I feel ya on that. Although it's better to not have to have your passengers have to ask to roll them down or up.

I've actually never had a complaint. Even my girlfriend doesn't mind if we're cruising down the interstate doing 70, windows down, her hair blowing everywhere. Surprising, I know! I'm lucky though, living in Florida. Weather here, when it isn't raining, is normally pretty nice. Windows down, a/c on low, and it's nice and cozy!

Doesn't quite work the same in the desert. It's either windows down, or ac on, or ac on high with windows down. I prefer to salvage my gas consumption.
