2003 Ford Taurus Wagon Window Issue

[Dinny Bossa Nova]

The car is white.

Front passenger window goes down, but will not go up. Not even with Mongo himself pulling on it.

Have checked the wires in the door hinge harness.

All the youtube vids I found, the motor in the door is making a clicking sound. This car does not click or any sound at all.

I'm officially throwing up the SAUTO signal.

jfc a taurus wagon? I wouldnt be coming around here admitting you own one.

time to get some new wheels buddy.

Doubt it's anything more than the power window motor. Replace it and move on.

rolls down but not up, probably in the switch.

[Easy 6]

Yeah its just the motor, or has come off track... Sauto will have you fixed up in no time

[SAUTO]

When you say is rolls down do you actually mean it rolled down and never went back up?

My brother once owned a white ford taurus wagon.

He called it Noc Su Kar (The White Wagon).

Yup. You can hear the motor run fine when it is rolling down. Both switches (driver & passenger door) work when rolling down.

Neither switch (driver or passenger door) work when trying to roll up. Motor sounds fine when rolling down. No sound anywhere when trying to roll up with either door button.

disclaimer-not my car. it's um...my BASS PLAYER'S car. Let's call him...Mike. Yeah, that's the ticket. my Taurus is actually black. Yeah. 2008. And it's not a wagon at all...

yeah, that's the ticket.

Have you tried putting a little upwards pressure on the window switch? Like don't pull it all the way up hard just lightly pull it up. My last car had that issue

How do you ever get it up to know?

[chinaski]

It's the motor.

Been several years ago, but I had an '03 Mustang GT that had the same problem. It's a fairly straight forward job, remove door panel and replace motor. You will need a 1/4 drive ratchet and I believe a 10mm socket. There is a little bit of finagling to get the motor in, but it's not rocket surgery. Local parts store should have the motors, but I bought mine on eBay.

Little blue pill. If you don't mind, I'd like to keep that just between us...

He just showed up at rehearsal today and sprung it on me after the charts and pre-production meeting right before he left.

He didn't have the window all the way down, so there was room to play with. I guess the window had problems before, but would go up eventually. Now it finally gave out?
