I have just driven my family for the first holy communion. The car, a Ford Focus 2003 is working fine. I park it go to the church, attend mass. Once the mass has ended we go back to the car. It's very hot so I open the windows. I start the car and while driving home, it's getting drafty as the speed limit is 70 miles per hour. My daughter tries to wind up her windows as she is seated at the back but the window would not budge. My son then tries his but they would not budge. They ask me if I have switched on the child lock. I say no I try the controls on the drivers panel but nothing happens. The windows will not roll up or down. They are as dead as dodo. I reached home thank God but the windows are still dead. What is wrong with Fords wiring system? I have changed all the fuses, nope. I have checked all connections under driver footwell, nope. Can any one please help?!!!
The window mechanisms in these cars are HORRIBLE... it cost almost $300 to fix the first time, and when they break, your window won't stay up so you HAVE to fix it
SECOND window mechanism broken! THIS TIME I CAN"T AFFORD to fix it so I have my mechanic put BOTH BACK windows in a locked position so they cannot be used.
Two days after buying the car the controls for the rear windows stopped working. Both rear window controls are unresponsive, as well as the controls for them located on the driver's door. The front windows work fine. I checked the fuse and it's working ok.
