Power window on Driver side not working at all. Any Ideas on how to fix it? Its a 2000 ford mustang

Asked by John222224 Jul 25, 2013 at 03:11 PM about the 2000 Ford Mustang Coupe RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I bought a new motor and regulator and plugged it in, and Still nothing. Can't be a fuse
because passenger window is working fine. When you hit the window up and down button
you can here a clicking sound (Sounds like its coming from the fuse box) which makes
me think the button is fine. You think it could be a electrical problem, Like the motor isn't
getting power? If so how would I go about fixing that?

Most common cause, especially in a 14 year old car, is wiring from BCM to door from hundreds or maybe even thousands of open/close of door

Ford - window switch - the one that get all the rain and the wear and tear. BTW - because something else works is never a true verification of why something else should work. Always check it out - never assume.

Hey, I've had my drivers door window repaired 3x's in 3 years. When I gets to be summer I start to smell something burning for about a week off and on and then the window starts to have trouble going up and down. Now I'm a dweeb opening my door at drive-through's cause I keep forgetting. I'm heading to an electrical mechanic again. I've had the motor, the relay and some other gadgets and gizmos replaced. Any advise would be appreciated. 2004 Mustang

I have the exact same problem. Even changed window wiring harness and still get the click sound but wont roll down. It is definitely not the switch, motor, or regulator either.

To determine if it's your switch or motor, take 2 wires, tie then into the battery, then unplug the motor connector abs apply direct power from the battery in forcing the motor to work, i found my switch is good, my motor is good, but I'm not getting power to the window motor clip. No power going to the 2 sided clip going to the power window, that's where in stuck at

Hello everyone I have a 2000 Ford Mustang GT and my drivers side window and everynow and then passenger side window does this. What has allways worked for me grap the window at top and pull back and push forward a couple of times and mine will work again for a 6 months to a year but it always works. If you can here that clicking sound and all other windows work from drivers side them most likely the window is just in a jam. Seems like rhis common problem in mustangs. If this helps anyone please let me know Rick.

Ok figured out why drivers goes up but not down. There’s a box at back of door panel, it’s what controls the automatic down. I swapped it out and fixed mine, already replace $60.00 motor
