Auto Glass: 2001 Ford Sport Trac driver window, sport trac, cori


Question
My driver window went down the other day and now will not go back up. When you push the up switch there is a buzzing noise under the drivers side dash. It isn't causing any other windows not to work. We have tried a new window motor, still nothing. Getting current to both sides of the motor. When pushing up the switch is getting power to both up and down side of switch.

Answer
Hello Cori,

From what you have told me so far I think the problem is in the switch.  You should only be only getting power to the single wire that feeds the  "up" side of the motor when you activate the switch to raise the window. When you get power out of the switch on two wires (up & down) at the same time, the switch probably has an internal short circuit and needs to be replaced.

Feel free to send me a follow up a question if you need any more information.
