i own a Mercury Sable, My driver side window will not go down. All other windows will. What to do?

Answer 1

every door on your car has its own power window motor just because the others work has nothing to do with the drivers window.The drivers window is most common to go bad since it is used the most.
first you need to remove the drivers door panel,,using 2 jumper wires from your battery,unplug your power window motor,and then touch 1 jumper wire to 1 lead the other jumper wire to the other if the window goes down,reverse the wires the window will go up. IF that works try plugging your switch back on if nothing happens your master switch is bad..
If you don,t here anything when you touch your jumper wires your power window motor is bad,if you do hear it trying to move your window regulator is bad..
hope that helps yeah

Answer 2

Go into the Lincoln Mercury Ford dealer. Tell them the side window on the driver's side won't go down. I did that, they quoted $300 to replace the motor. So I went to the Auto Parts store and bought a new motor for well under that, removed the panel, drilled out the rivets on the old motor, installed the new one, and now it works.

Answer 3

Could be the motor, the switch, or the wiring. The only way to find out for sure is to pull the door panel and start looking.

Hi...

You might want to use the link below to see if there are any known problems or recalls on your car. You'll need to select year, make, etc. I've used Edmund's before, they're very reliable.

Good luck!

Answer 6

Could be the regulator or a fuse, or maybe Even a switch. There's no way to diag it without checking it out.
