Default falling drivers side window

Hello,

my drivers side on my 92 xlt falls on its own and im trying to find out of the resolution is obvious or more to it.

the power window switch does nothing. so i either have a bad switch or window motor. the switch powers the passenger side window just fine. i just have issues with the drivers side.

now if the window motor is bad, will this cause the window to fall? all my experiences in the past with bad window motors is that it seizes in one place. ive done peeking on the window and its attached to the track and arm. i can manually pull it up and down and can see the arm go up and down and the track that is attached to the base of the window stays attached.

ive never been an electrical guru so i have not busted out the tester. to be honest, i wouldnt know where to start. im not an idiot, i just havent worked on it before. i usually find the answers online but i cant find a post or article with the same symptoms..

so can my fellow f150 brothers/sisters here please give me some guidance or tips.

thanks,

Rob

Motor is bad not all of them seize up. Replace motor and watch it go up and down. Not hard to do. You want to go to a yard and get the motor with regulator attached. Take door panel off replace motor put door panel back on.
