Anyone have issues with their power windows?

[Tony_The_Wiseguy]

Mine aren’t going down… thought it was initially that they were frozen but it’s now 48 degrees here and they won’t budge. Wtf…

my rear power window opens fine but not the front or passengers…

Take it to the dealer. My first guess is the switch died, but it could also be a fuse.

Yes, good recommendation.

I don't have my Mav yet, but most cars usually have a few spare fuses on the inside of the fuse panel cover, and also a diagram of what each fuse controls. You can look for one that says power windows and check to see if it's blown. You might be able to fix it without going to the dealer. A blown fuse could just mean it was a bad fuse to begin with, but it could also mean there's a bigger issue and the fuse did it's job.

Since Dec 16th I have had no problems specifically with windows or locks.

My mav has neither extra fuses nor the fuse diagram. It’s in the manual or online though.

@Tony_The_Wiseguy do you have a multimeter or a fuse test light tool? Even if you have neither you can pull the relevant fuse for the switch and/or motors and hold it up to the light to see if the fuse element is broken. Or just throw it at the dealer but you may be at their mercy for turnaround time.

Huh weird. Fuse 25 is for all power windows but the graphic seems not to indicate it as a discrete fuse unless its pointing to the big boy labeled circuit breaker.

What is fuse 25

if it’s really a circuit breaker, can you just push a button or depress something on it to reset the circuit maybe?

Good morning. Would you please send over a private message with your VIN and the name/location of your local Ford dealer? I would like to look into your truck's window problems on my end!

I've had mine since December and haven't had any problems.

I wish the window switches had Auto Up, but they do Auto Down at least.
Anybody have an issue with their clock? Mine won't keep the time. I'm getting tired of setting it every time I get in. --/-- is what it looks like.

So its definitely not a fuse. It seems to be an electrical issue likely with the switch module itself. I made an appt with my dealer for next Tuesday morning. I noticed last night I could get each individual window to go down as far as I want, then back up normally. But then it would refuse to go down again unless I waited a couple minutes. Each one would act the exact same way. Today on my way home from work they were acting normal... I did PM the FMC account that commented in this thread with more information. Thank you all for your input, I will report what the outcome was when I get a solution.

Good morning, what ended up being the fix? My right rear window will not go up at all, and it’s not the fuse similar to your window issue

Same here. Stopped working today out of the blue. Did you figure it out?

Dealership said it was a faulty driver side window switch not sending power over. They also said window motor was hot and they cut the cable to get the window up. They left it held up with only painter’s tape until the part comes in at the end of May. I would see if they could use a power probe to drive the window up at least so your window doesn’t end up like mine held up with tape.

 

[rodmatmor]

Yeah, I didn't have the same luck... Just picked up the car and they said the motor is faulty, but it's it also locked up with the window down, and they can't get it up... So I guess I'll have to use a plastic to cover the window while the part doesn't arrive. Frustrating

Have the same issue. My passenger rear window is stuck down. Will not come up. All other windows come up and down fine.

Just called my Dealer, and they can't get me in until Monday so I will give it a few hours here and try again, if not I have to wait until the weekend, will be rough here in Phoenix with a window down.
