Ive had the same issue and so have a few others on this site. On 3 seperate occassions my window would roll down but not back up.....for a while. Then it would work like nothing ever happened. Some folks on here say hitting the bottom inside of the door might help cause the window gets stuck sometimes. Or its your motor going bad.

On mine, the passenger wind will roll down, but usually not back up with driver's side switch.
Passenger side switch works 100%.
Picking up a new switch tomorrow.

Ive got a similar problem... Driver's side switch works 100% for passenger window, but passenger switch only works going up... theres more $$ out of the pocket!

quality ford craftsman ship for you rught there

Yup same problem, usually a little tap on the motor sends it back up. My motor is going out, because it rolls up pretty slow.

03_StangGuy · July 3rd, 2008, 12:02 PM

Interesting, i'll have to give that a shot as well!

bottlefed02gt · July 6th, 2008, 05:33 PM

Yeah hit right by the speaker. You might have to give it a hard tap if the panel is still on.

STANGATUDE · July 8th, 2008, 12:19 PM

i had this prob when my car only had 15k on it. hold the switch down and hit the door on the armrest area or right below. worked well. hasn't done it in 2 years.

bottlefed02gt · July 11th, 2008, 12:50 PM

Funny thing is my window just did this again the other day. It happens when i leave the window rolled down all night. Hard tap sent it right back up.

zinc02GT · July 11th, 2008, 01:42 PM

why would you leave your window down over night?!? tahts crazy talk right ther...

Mine went back up after I hit one really hard time with my fist with the panel off...

jbsnake · July 12th, 2008, 12:27 AM

I had the same problem- when the window was all the way down, it wouldn't go up on three different occasions in the last year. I had the motor checked because it was going up kinda slow anyway, and they said it was on its way out. I replaced it a month ago, and the other day the damn thing got stuck down again! Banging on it worked like a charm, but i wish I knew what the cause of the problem was...

red2k2gt · July 12th, 2008, 04:58 PM

I've had a the same problem Window down stuck, pulled the entire pannel down on the door couldn't get to the motor. Got pissed slammed the door and it started working again..... got to show it whose boss ...lol

LOL it gets parked in the garage every night, and I almost always drive with the windows down so I leave it down sometimes.
