Passenger window stuck. PLEASE HELP
I pulled the stang out to give it a wash and my passenger window wouldn't go up. The driver window went up without a problem. I tried shutting the car off and restarting it. No Luck. I pulled it back into the garage and checked the fuses. I replaced the fuse and reset the circuit breaker. Started the car. Still no luck. What could have happened to my window? I don't think it's the motor because the window wasn't having any trouble going up or down. The other night it was working fine but now it doesn't move. Can anyone help?

One more thing...I want to replace my fuel filter and pcv but don't know where the are. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Stuck windows, gas filter/PCV location
You could have a switch malfunction (try raising it with each side's switch - one at a time) but most likely it's a wiring problem. Very common. Remove the door panel, see what you find (possible shorted wire) and go from there.
The fuel filter is under the car; located just ahead of the gas tank toward the passenger side. It's a canister type. Release the gas cap (pressure) before changing or you'll get sprayed with gas. The PCV is located at the very back of the intake, not readily visible. Use a strong light to locate it - it's in the center of the engine - or just go by 'feel'. Do it on a cold engine. The PCV should be removed as a unit: valve, grommet and screen. Go to a Ford or Mercury dealer and ask for the 5.0 PCV replacement kit (about $10.) A bit of a PITA to change but worth it. |
I have tried both side swtches and neither one works. It's probably a shorted wire. I'll get a chance to explore it all day tomorrow.
Thanks for the help with the fuel filter and pcv. I'm learning something new everyday. |
