All power windows failed at same
I have a 2005 ford f150 crew cab
Today I rolled all the windows down a little bit, turned the truck off, when I tried to turn the truck back on and roll the windows up, nothing,,, I noticed that the interior lights would dim out and go off while the button was being pressed down. As soon I let off the power window button the lights came right back on as normal.
I removed the switch, cleaned it, and sprayed some corrosion block. Nothing, no different.
Can someone tell me if this is just a bad power window switch or is this a different problem? I couldn't find the 401) fuse 30A on the passenger footwell fuse panel to check it.
Can anyone'shed light on what my issue is?

The ground wire (black) has broken in the door joint. The exact same thing happened to mine. Exact same symptoms. I spliced a new ground wire into the harness black wire at the switch and ran it to one of the bolts that holds the door trim on. It's been working fine ever since.
I tried the ground wire but it didn't work. Nothing. The weird thing about this is the passenger Side Window will move in Super Slow motion.but only. Going down.
Do you have ny thoughts on what I might have wrong based on that?

All the window switches end up routed through the driver side switch, so if you want to replace the switch, that is where I would start. Cleaning the contacts only last so long. You can get them cheap online, or go to a wrecker, or find a buddy with an F150 and swap his switch to yours and see if it works. Although, that doesn't really explain why the one window goes super slow.... Maybe it is putting a draw on all windows so you don't have much juice getting to the switch you actually want to work.

So, thanks a million, you are the man.

You were dead on right about what the problem was, I grabbed the rubber wire cover between the door joint and started to wiggle it. I noticed it had a split in it and then when I looked at the split in the rubber joint, I noticed a wire connector inside. Upon closer inspection, someone had already repaired the the same issue but didn't do a very good job at pinching the grounds together. Not to mention I would have joined the wires so I could pull them back into the door. He left them where every time you use the door you bend the new repair at the worst possible point.
