Hello all. My power door locks were not working on a 2000 F-150 extra cab so I purchased two replacement door lock actuators. After scraping my arms up pretty good and standing on my head for a bit I was able to get the old ones out and the replacements installed. Alas- The power locks on both sides work!
I tried to roll the windows down and they get stuck half way. With a bit of assistance, they will roll down and I have to grasp the glass and pull up to get them to roll back up. Truck has power windows and they worked fine prior to replacing the door lock actuators. I removed the bolt to the track to the back side of the glass to get better access to the actuators and replaced it in the same way it came out. Am I missing something? Why are my windows not able to work correctly now?
Anybody else have an issue like this when replacing actuators? Please respond with any guidance that may be of assistance.
Thanks

 

Took the door panels off today, looked for any areas of concern, lubed up all the tracks for the windows, and they work again. A bit sluggish at the half way mark, but the will at least operate again.

Please post here if you have any suggestions on what would make the windows sluggish at the half way mark.

 

Get that clip for the window track back on the panel and the windows work great again. Hope this helps others that have had this issue.
