Default Power windows

I Have a 1995 XL with (what looks like aftermarket) power windows. the driver door is slow but the passenger window is twicw as slow. it seems like my battery is 90% dead when the window is going up or down. Is this a common thing with 95 fords, i mean slow power windows?

If they're aftermarket power windows then you can't really compare them to factory power windows.

pull off your door panels and check the lubrication on the regulators... if they are dry or gummy, clean them and apply lithium grease.

beyond that, your motors might be going out. should be like $50 a piece to replace them.

It also might be loose magnets in the motor, one of main reasons motors go bad.

Here is a quick fix to try on. both windows.Get a can of Pam Cooking Spray and lightly spray both the front and rear rubber guides on both windows run the windows up and down a few times and see if they work better.the glass is known to bind in the guides

Read that your's is fixed, Mine are slow also. When I roll my windows up, the headlights dim. Not sure that it's the battery, I think its the weak 60amp alternator that came on it.

I would worry about the head light thing every car I have driven does that it's just another draw on the battery that dims them
