Master power window switch

Asked by GuruT1R1V Jul 04, 2018 at 05:30 PM about the 1998 Ford Windstar 3 Dr GL Passenger Van

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 1998 Ford Windstar and the
master window switch will not roll
down the passenger front window or
the left rear wing window when I
installed a used one that was
guaranteed off eBay I had the same
problem could it be a common
problem with the master switch in that
vehicle or is the problem somewhere
else

Probably a stripped gear! There is a plastic gear that strips out inside the door. I disassembled the entire door assembly motor gearbox and all. The gear only rotates half way around so I just rotated it and used the half that was not stripped. BINGO! Window works fine now.
