Power Window and blinker issue
I am new here and hope I'm posting this in the correct forum.
I have a 1997 Ford F150, super cab, 4x4, 4.6L, XLT.
My passenger side window has stopped rolling down.
Initially the driver's side switch would periodically not work for the passenger window, but the passenger switch would work correctly. This meant if I had both windows down I had to reach across to roll the passenger one up, was not convienient.
3 weeks later neither switch will work on the passenger side. I have checked the fuse and it tests good. My theory is that it isn't the switches as if the driver's switch was broken the passenger side would still work and vice versa. The door was taken apart 4 years ago to replace a speaker but hasn't been touched since.
To make things odder my passenger side blinker is doing the "blink fast enough induce a seizure" thing. I have replaced the front and back bulb and checked the fuse, but neither has worked. The front blinker even with a new bulb is not working.
Any/all help is appreciated!

I know this sounds crazy but my passenger side window stopped working not to long ago neither switch would roll it up all I did was unplug the switch on the driver side blew it out like you would with an old nintendo game and plugged it back up and after that both switches worked and have been since..
If that doesnt work try cleaning the switch..

Im not sure one the blinker I know the flasher acts like that when theres a problem but most the time its just a bulb so im not sure.. Check the wiring?? maybe change the blinker fluid??

I have now replaced all 3 bulbs on the passenger side (blinker,brake, rear blinker). Still no luck. Rear flashes really fast, front has nothing. I had my hopes up when I first started out this morning it was working fine, but by the 2nd right turn it was doing the same thing.
Power windows: I now have them working. Unplugged the switches, plugged them back in... now its working. Who knows.

The passenger switch power runs through the master switch on the drivers side so it was more than likely a pin in the master switch connector that had a film of corrosion built up from micro arcing between the pins that got cleaned when you unplugged and plugged it back in.
According to the wiring diagram the white/light blue wire coming out of the multifunction switch powers both the dash right turn indicator and the right front bulb, so is the right turn arrow in your instrument cluster lighting or not? Use a test light to test the power in the white/light blue wire going to the turn signal back before the bulb socket to make sure that's not the problem, a lot of times the sockets will go bad.

If it has tilt wheel, turn the right turn signal on and tilt all the way up and down. If it works nornal at either extreme, the wires have pulled out of the multifunction switch connector housing. Housing is available by itself.
