89 5.0 GT Conv Power Windows

Apr 11, 2006 5 Replies

The Drivers side front window does not want to go down. I'd rather not tear the door apart, if it's just the switch, but I can't seem to make heads or tails of the switch panel.



Is there a wiring diagram out there anywhere? Neither the Chiltons, nor the Haynes manuals cover it.


I have the Ford 1989 electrical manual. what are you looking for, color codes? It's too large for me to scan. On my '89 'stang it was just dirty contacts. Opened the switch, cleaned them and put electrical contact grease on them. That was 6 years ago, and no issues since.

Once you've removed the switch block from the arm rest, how do you get it apart to get at the individual switches?

which ones (color/location) control the drivers window? Which ones do I short across to see if it's the switch or the motor?

It's been 6 years, but I think it was 4 tabs that are just bent over to hold the base into the switch.

The LH Front window motor shows w/bk and Y wires. Disconnecting the switch and applying 12v to these two wires would/should power the motor up or down.Feeding the switch is P (ink) for positive and B(lack) ground. You could check thosae with a meter or test light for power (key on).
