the other day i went through the car wash and i put the passenger door window down to fold the mirror back out, it rolled down about a quarter of the way then my brother pushed the mirror back out then i tried to put the window back up and it wouldnt roll up,.....before that the passenger door switch wouldnt move the passenger window but the driver switch would it seems like now neither are working.... any way to pin down the actual problem and get it back in business

 

Sounds like you pinned it down yourself...passenger door switch needs fixed...

 

no both switches arnt making the window roll up

 

My guess is something with the motor/regulater. Is the window stuck half way down or did it slide down, or can you slide it up?

 

Window motor. Should not be hard to change.....just hit you at a bad time(car wash).

 

yeah it was slid halfway down i un did the glass from the clamps and slid it up and wedged it....so window regulator or motor or are they the same i dont understand...sorry ha im 16 and my dad said...well fix it so now ive got to do it right...

 

Regulator

 

the motor and regulator are basically the same thing. The regulator is the frame that slides up and down and holds the window, and the motor is the motors. If the window was stuck in place, i'd guess its the motor not a part on the regulator. Not sure if you can buy one without the other from ford, but I'm sure you could at a junk yard or something.

 

Regulator should come with the motor all one unit

 

just had the same thing happen to me, there wasn't much price difference in just buying the regulator and buying the regulator and the motor. replaced them and the window rolls up faster than ever
