Hi,
I am new to this forum and would really appreciate some help please. I have just bought a nice one owner 91 Mustang 5.0 LX. It has a problem that is proving tedious as the passenger window will drive down but not up, drivers side window works fine but drivers side switch for passenger window will not drive up or down. I have read several things on this problem and to date I have done the following:
Fitted new switches both sides and rotated the drivers window switch that is working to the non working window and still not working so I think I have pretty much eliminated a switch problem.
Checked the pink wire both sides and have power and have 12v to the motor R/Y and Y/R wires when pressing up and down buttons.
Checked the 2 ground wire on drivers side switch and have good ground.
Checked continuity of wires all to no avail, so cant be a broken wire
The motor I find is is new and was probably fitted to solve the problem when I connect direct to a battery it rotates clock and then anti clock when wires are reversed.
I took the cover off the motor gear and it is not a ford gear it is aftermarket the 3 plastic bushes are very tight in the 3 lobes backside of the center gear in fact I am having trouble reassembling. Should they be that tight??
Has anyone else had this problem with all the checking and fixes I have made? I am open to any suggestion and would really appreciate them.
Thanks
