AMAZING! 2006 F-350. Right-side shotgun passenger window was stuck in the down position. Was just getting ready to pull everything apart but thought I'd check KZfaq first. I'm old school and usually forget about these videos. Played with the master switch and then pretty much all the other switches with no luck. Tried poking/jabbing at it as you show in your video and boom, works like a charm. Must have been some dust or dirt or something in the switch. Saved me likely hours of screwing around THANK YOU!

replaced the drivers side switch panel, but the passenger side still does not work, all others work. the regulator on that door has been replaced and it does work at the door, but not from the drivers side?? does the signal bipass the passenger side switch? ie could it be a wire or plug from the drivers side that does not involve the passenger side switch since that side switch works???

I changed out the switch and the new one worked. This is back up car so I did not use it for two months. When I did drive it, I lowered the window nit it would not come back up. I got a replacement switch but I sill cannot get the window to move. There is no cable wrenching sound like I have had on other vehicles so I believe the cables are ok. If the motor is bad, why would it work once, but now later? Do you think it is the motor?

Hey man great video. I have a 2006 Ford E350 5.4l 3v. When I turn the key to the on position, the windows don't go down until about 20 seconds. Also, when the key is on the on position, the headlights always stay on (even though the headlights are turned off). Another symptom of this problem is that the fuel gauge and temperature guage on cluster also don't work for the first 20 seconds (works only after about 20 seconds of turning the key on the on position). This problem is consistent and happens everytime. Any useful tips/advice would be greatly appreciated.

maybe related to my issue? 2014 f250 superduty, passenger window sometimes works, others not. I also have an issue with the doors not auto-locking. I'll be driving and then I'll hear a clunk and the pass door locked. Way after I started moving. Bumped the rubber flex tube between door and body and the window worked for a while. Switches? or wiring at hinge? It is a plow truck but only 80k on it.

Hit button while pulling up on the window with other hand usually gets a stuck one moving past the binding spot. Mine binds half way down. Don't think it is the switch and maybe the regulator sliding contacts are bad. Have a spare motor but it does the same thing. Only other thing I can think of is possible it is binding where the window slides in the felt track.
