So a few days ago my driver side window wouldnt roll up and stopped working. I can hear a 1 time clicking noise and the gauges dim when i press the button for down, but when i press up, nothing happens, no click, no dim gauges Any place i should start or replace?

Just for S & G's try this... open the door, press and hold the window switch in the "up" direction while simultaneously slamming the door shut.

its the window motor i just replace the one in my coupe that quit working i got the window up by taking off the door panel and hitting the motor with a hammer to knock it loose so it will roll up if it doesnt work it is probably the gear kit.

You wouldn't believe how many of them do in fact get stuck and this simple procedure snaps it back into action.

Sorry, i have 2 cars, and the stang isnt my daily driver, so it sits in the detached garage at my apartment complex.

SO i just went out ther before i went to grab some lunch, pushed window up button, slammed door....

...Worked like a charm...

Thanks Uncle Meat.

I thought i did close the door a couple of times when i noticed it before posting the thread, adn that didnt work... But i guess i needed to hold down on the window up button while slamming the door...

Last time mien did it I opened the door and held the button down then hit the inner panel solidly and it went right up. Slamming was not working.
