I had something similar happen to me today, back drivers side window would roll down from driver controls, but not up. I'll let you know if I figure anything out

You might have a dirty contact, which is usaully most cases. There is a How-to floating around, on how to clean them.

nvm found it, hope it helps

I cleaned all the contacts but I still have the same problem. They go down fine. But won't go up unless I do it from the driver side.. I guess I'll have to take it to the dealership. Unfortunately lol

Check eBay man! They are anywhere from $20 to $40 each or a pair.

Wawa ,
Check the wires inside the boot between the door hinges. They have the tendency to start breaking over time. Just pull the boot out on one side and push to side. My 04 did the same thing . I just connected a small extension were the wire broke. They work fine now. The reason I added extension is because ford added no slack to the wiring and makes it tuff to reconnect without extension. Hope this helps .

i had a similar issue...except both windows could put the passenger window down but nothing would put it up. found a broken wire in the boot on driver door. use a multi meter and chk resistance between each wire that goes from driver to passenger. white/yellow to white/yellow and i believe tan/blue to tan/blue or u can chk the motor by going to passenger door... pull off switch. and jumper 2 and 4 and take 6 to ground....i think thats the combo i used. and the window went up. if it doesnt....id look at the window motor or wiring to it

Are you able to roll it up from the rear?
