First let me say my 2005 F150 is well cared for as it is 9 years old with only 76k miles. Only a few times a year I'll haul some firewood or gravel. Body is exceptional and looks great. Garage kept! But for a vehicle that has power windows and no window cranks the windows working is a pretty big deal.

Well the wiring that goes into the door from the engine compartment wore and broke. Common problem apparently so you would think a "FORD CERTIFIED TECHNICIAN" would look for that BEFORE checking everything else. After paying a $180 diagnostic charge the problem turns out to be a 10 cent wire. Point is this is a common problem with this model year and they should know about it. I guess I'm more pissed at the dealer on this one. SMAIL FORD in Greensburg, PA. You are not a customer you are profit. So if your power windows suddenly stop working, open the door, remove the rubber wiring harness, and re-connect the wire. There you go..I saved you $179.90.

I just discovered that the rear sliding window on my 2005 F-150 is not working. When I push the button it does not open. Anyone out there know what can be wrong and how it can be fixed???? HELP!!!! Thank you.

Update from Sep 17, 2011: My rear sliding window is still not working. I have the switch out but, don't know how to tell if it is good or not??? I have the rear back seat out but, how do I tell if the motor is working or not. When I push the switch it did nothing at all. HELP ME PLEASE?????????

While driving to work one morning, I heard a loud thud!! In shock, thinking something may have crashed through my window, I immediately pulled off to the side of the road during very busy a.m traffic. I could not find any trace of broken glass. I then looked inside the door and saw that the glass had just fallen in????? I could press the button and hear the motor, but absolutely no movement from the glass. While searching the web on how I may be able to fix the problem, I was amazed at how many other people had actually had this same problem. I called Ford Motor Company and complained about this very embarrassing ordeal. I could no longer use my truck. They seemed to blow me off, only saying I may bring my truck in and be charged a service fee. They (Ford) said that they would have to evaluate whether they would be responsible for this mishap. After speaking to everyone's boss at Ford Motor Company, I then realized I would not be cheated again and pay a service fee for something Ford is refusing to take responsibility for. Two weeks later, with a 2x4 holding the window up on the passenger side of a 35,000.00 dollar automobile, me and my family were on interstate 10. My wife pregnant for our first baby girl and my three and five year olds in the back, doing seventy (which is the speed limit) faced a potentially life threatening experience. Unbelievably, my drivers side window comes crashing down and explodes in the door!!!! With the wind rushing unexpectedly in, and the loud crash of the glass breaking in the door, I temporarily lost control of my vehicle. Knowing I had my families life at stake, I immediately gained control and brought my truck to a screeching halt in the emergency lane. From that moment, I have contacted the Better Business Bureau, called Ford and made complaints and found this site to share my frustration like the rest of you. Why must it take someone seriously getting hurt or killed before Ford takes responsibility for its mistakes. I refuse to pay for this defective situation. To all who read this, I ask that help yourself and others by speaking up. Call Ford motor Company. File a complaint with you local Better Business Bureau. This is the only way to solve this problem. If enough people stand up, they will have no choice but to take responsibility.

Mother-in law borrow my wife's F150 and was pulling into a parking space and heard a big bang sound, which she thought was a gunshot. Then once she turned around found that the Passenger side window had fallen down. She took it to a Ford Dealer and they charged over $400 even though the vehicle had less than 35,000 miles, they said the warranty expired in February. I have found this same complaint on the internet many times and wonder why Ford hasn't done anything about it. I have been a Ford faithful for over 20 years, but we are now looking at replacing this Ford with another manufacturer.

Driver side window has fallen down into door. Warranty has run out on vehicle so I attempted to look into problem myself. After removing door panel and inspecting power window system I have discovered that the problem is simply poor design. I have worked on many power doors for older vehicles and I have never seen a cable pully system held together with plastic parts. The window is to heavy for strain on the system, the plastic part that holds the window in the up position can not hold and as gives out causing the window to fall. This is going to be an on going problem with the only fix coming from Ford, all the plastic parts need to be replaced with metal ones. I like the truck itself however, this problem is unsat. and I would not recommended anybody purchasing a 2004-2006 Ford truck since they all use the same system (I have not looked into a 2007 and newer to see if they might have fixed the problem). I will be returning to purchasing Chevy trucks from here on out.
