1990 Ford Bronco Malfunction - Windows & Glass

Question: Dear, I purchased my Ford Bronco XLT 5.0 V8 last night. My husband is furious. The rear tailgate window is now stuck in the down position, as is the passenger side window. There is a humming sounds in the tailgate; the motor WANTS to move...but nothing. The passenger side window...nothing happens at all. I purchased a Chilton's manual, but it tells nothing about how to get the door panels off so I can check the window lift motors. Help...yes, I'm a woman. Sincerely, Wendy Marcinkiewicz

Technican: Wendy, Congrats on the new truck, I hope you got a good deal. If you purchased the truck from a private dealer you now own all the problems that come with it, if from a dealership then you might be able to get them to do some work. Lets assume that you have to make the repairs. First the passenger window. To remove the inner door skin you will need a philips screwdriver. Remove all the screws. Then you will have to take a large flat tip screwdriver and you will have to slip that between the door skin and the metal part of the door frame and wedge them apart. You will hear a snapping noise as they seperate. Once they seperate you will be looking at a plastic sheet. The plastic sheet is a noise dampner. Peel the plastic from the door. Remove the wires to the window motor. With a voltage meter verify that you have 12 volts to the window motor. The voltage will pulse in both directions depending on if you are attempting to raise or lower the window. Also check inside the door for loose parts. If you have power to the motor and the window will not go up and down then the motor assembly or the window regulator is in need of repair and most general repair shops can accomplish this. I can provide detail directions on how to do this if you can get to this point in troubleshooting. The rear window repair is very similar and troubleshooting is almost identical. Let me know if this helps. .

Owner: Thanks SO MUCH Al!!!..I've got to try this...it's raining here and these windows can't stay taped until the garages open on Monday...thank GOODNESS for Pep Boys and Auto Barn...they're open on Sundays...LOL...I hope this works!!!!
