Ford Explorer Power Windows

I had a similar problem. (2000 explorer) It was broken wires at the drivers side door hinge.
I was actuality able to squeeze the black rubber boot to get the windows to work.

Here is a web link with pictures of broken wires in the driver's door hinge.
These are not my pictures but it was the exact problem!

#19 of 22 2003 Explorer passenger front window- not close by fosterslager

2003 Ford Explorer passenger front window will not close.
The window went down and will not go up.
Door locks on passenger side work.
When window button is pressed to open, light on button goes out.
All other windows and power work.
Recently, I have had to have engine on to open/close window
I just want the window up,I can live with not opening window.
Any suggestions? Thank you

#20 of 22 99 Explorer Window/ Door Problem! by pdell

Jun 22, 2012 (6:47 am)

For the past 2+ years we have been fighting a driver's window issue. It goes down and the window seems to come off track, gets tilted and then gets stuck. We took it to a mechanic and he "re-glued" it. It worked about twice and did the same thing. He tried a stronger glue and it worked for a week or so. This went on for awhile. The last time (December 2011) he actually went and replaced the "window" with another one (not sure all of what was replaced). We drove around without using the window for the winter to be sure the glue set (no drive thru bank, fast food, toll booths, etc.) and this spring it seemed to work okay and we were excited. Last week it went off track again! The mechanic is at a loss for what to do.

We are also having problems with the driver's side lock - it will no longer respond to the remote. I have to reach in from the back seat and open the door.

What is going on? Are these 2 problems connected? Anyone else having these same two issues? Any ideas on what to try next?

I have a 1994 Explorer and I have the exact same problem and don't have the money to have repairs done. Did you find a way to at least just get the window in the up position? I have rain coming.

the wire going up into the harness then to the door is my problem. I took the boot off and found the wire but cant get to the short. It appears there is a bolt on top of the harness. Will this come off? Should I try taking the door panel off?
