How do i get my power windows to work in my 1997 ford taurus?

Question

I have a 1997 ford taurus. I have power windows in it and i cannot get the windows to roll down on their individual switches. I can lower all the windows with the master switch but the individual switches are not lowering them. I replaced the master switch and that didnt do anything. I dont think there is anything wrong with the individual switches because when i lower the windows with the master switch, i can stop the window from moving if i push down on the individual switch on the window i am lowering down. All the motors are working fine in the windows also. Please someone help. Thanks for your answers!!

Answer 1

take it to a shop and get it fixed

Answer 2

Hey Fizz, Get the window down spray some grease on the edge of the window the felt down both sides of glass what has happen over years the felt has dried up and the glass is harder to raise up, and make sure the master is in the UN lock position, hope this helps. I have a 97 also had to do the same thing it worked.

Answer 3

Have you check the fuses for it? Is the key in the right position of your key ignition? I had a 1978 Dodge Cutlass how ever it was spelled. It had the same problem it would not roll down the windows during the hottest day of the year traveling for a long, long distance. It turns out it was the key ignition was not in the proper position of the key ignition. Check the fuse first, usually that is the first place to check to see if power is getting to your window switches. Good luck.

Answer 4

Is the window switch in the unlock position?? That's what it sounds like. If it is, then take a look at it and see if the contacts are making. good luck.

Answer 5

Do you have the switches locked out at the main control?

Answer 6

check you switches see if they are connected if they ar and they still dont work your windows then replace your window switches they go bad for no reason and check your window lock to see if its locked
