2013 Ford F-150 Ltd, new window regulator replacement trouble

Asked by GuruLY4H3 Mar 25, 2019 at 09:12 PM about the 2013 Ford F-150 XLT 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My passenger side window regulator went out (cable snapped) so I bought a
new one and replaced it. I could only find one that came as a complete
assembly motor and everything.
After replacing the assembly I plugged the switch back in to test out if it was
working properly. Well when I lower the window it will work fine to the half way
open point then it stops. I then have to keep hitting the button, and it moves
an inch for each time I hit the window button, for it to go all the way down.
Once it go all the way down I can hit the button once and it will close all the
way with one push. It will also stop its auto close with a push and then with
another push continue closing. So closing the window works fine. However
opening it it only works half way then I must repeatedly hit the down button
for it to completely open.

Check the alignment of the glass within its mount and for any restrictions causing bindings within the mechanism. Most window motors have a thermal resistor. If the window motor encounters resistance, heat builds up, the resistors sensors the heat, shuts the motor off, then resets itself for the next push of the button.
