My 97 f150's (4.6L 4x4) driver side window is stuck down. The passenger window still works. When I press the driver side window button down there is a clicking sound coming from the fuse box under the wheel. The click seems to be coming from relay #4 which is the one touch down relay. Ive had no previous problems with the window, but after it got stuck down the battery died and when I took the battery to get checked they said it was bad, so i replaced it and everything except the window works fine. I dont think the window motor is bad because it stopped working out of nowhere with no signs of it going bad. I'm stumped any ideas what it could be?

Never mind i fixed it! Hit the motor with a hammer a few times and now it works

always works.
whoever says it doesnt should come watch me do one project on anything, hitting it never fails.

Sounds like you need a new motor before it craps out totally.

Thus the truth is spoken.

I had the same thing happen. I pulled the door apart and knocked the motor around a little and the window worked for a few months. Then while the window was down again it completely went out. I tried to hit it a few more times but nothing was happening. I still had the little click noise when I tried to use the power but the window never came up. I ended up having to replace the motor and man are they a pain to do.

Does anyone have a link to pics or a procedure on how to replace the window regulator in a late model F-150. My friend's is a 2005 I think. Thanks.

i have an 04 and i put a window motor in every 25000 miles so far

the good thing is they take turns

as far as pics and stuff sorry cant help there just pay attention when you pull it apart.


if all else fails you can try to put it back to gether with your hammer.

When in doubt, smack it with something hard! :-)
