Technican: On the rear gate window, I realize you have to get the glass down to open the gate. If it has a full inner trim panel, this is not an easy task to do but you have to get into the gate to manualy get the glass to go down and continue. The trim panel is held on by push in clips and some screws that may not be accesible with the gate closed. If it dosent have a trim panel, it makes it a little easier. Either way, the inspection panel needs to come off. Once done, locate wire harness to the motor and hitch direct power to it to see if there is any type of movement. Be sure to switch your jumper wires around to change polarity to motor.(The motor only runs the way the polarity dictates). If this does not engage the motor in any way, then the motor has to be disengaged from the regulator. Again not an easy task. You need to use cation when doing this so that the regulator doesnt snap on you.(some have a coil spring that assists in raising and lowering and the release of tension from the motor will cause them to uncoil) The motor should have 3 screws that hold it to the regulator if you have to go this far. Once the glass is down, if the motor was operational in doing so, you need to check the rear gate acuator. Its the switch located on the key lock that operates the glass. You need to do this with the gate down and the glass in the full up position to gain access. Check for action from the lock cylinder to the switch to see if the tang on the cylinder is making correct engagement to switch while also checking continuity comimg from switch to motor is there.(a test light on wires runnig to motor will do)If no power is coming to motor at this jucture, the switch is most likely bad.I dont know what type of conditions youre running in, but in my area of the world, I have dealt with this paticular problem several times due to dirt and grime that builds up in the rear of these paticular vehicles that the electrical cant take. If its the motor, when changing out, make sure you also check these as they are a direct factor to motor failure. Also make sure to clean and lubricate the regulator as well as the glass run channels as these tend to bind the motor and not provide the smooth operation needed. As for the door glass, if it operates properly on the right side, take the master switch on the left door out and swap the switchs(there should be two seperate ones for eash side)lft to rt. If the problem now is reverse, you have a bad operating switch. Another problem I have encounterd in my many years at a Ford dealership. Paul
