You're a life saver. I'm on a vacation and my rear window was stuck down. I pressed real hard on it with two thumbs like you said and luckily it went back up!
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!! My 2007 Ford Taurus' back window had been stuck (up) for 'round a year, or more, and I watched this video, and your tip to press on the down button real fast, and hard, and voila! It worked!!! I was SO happy! You became my latest hero! THANK YOU again. !!!
AMAZING! 2006 F-350. Right-side shotgun passenger window was stuck in the down position. Was just getting ready to pull everything apart but thought I'd check UA-cam first. I'm old school and usually forget about these videos. Played with the master switch and then pretty much all the other switches with no luck. Tried poking/jabbing at it as you show in your video and boom, works like a charm. Must have been some dust or dirt or something in the switch. Saved me likely hours of screwing around THANK YOU!
You’re an absolute Ford Jedi Master. Thank you for all your tips. I definitely love all your videos and the way that you explain everything step by step. God bless you.
OMG THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH! Dude you’re incredibly intelligent. I can’t believe this just actually worked. Like seriously you deserve all good things coming your way. Thanks again for helping people like me in these suck a** situations.
Thank you sooooo much! I was warming up my car and trynna get the morning dew off the windows then my passenger window wouldn't go up. I was mostly upset,but after I calmed down I watched your video and it actually worked! Thank you so much!!!!!
Your the man!! Thank you so much!! Have 2004 Ford Explorer. I tried slamming the door while holding up the button like someone else suggested on here with no luck. Tried your suggestion and it went up. I can now sleep easy! Thanks for posting this!
hey man thanks! the tapping the switch worked!!! i just picked up an 08 xlt, took the dog to the park and the window got stuck down, thanks for this!!!
Thanks man helped me thought my window was off track it rolled down but not up just pressed really hard and it came right up mind you it's 4 degrees right now in michigan lol greatly appreciate it
You rock! I would not have tried that persistently if it were not for your video. I ended up holding down the driver and passenger controller for the window to go up and it fixed the issue......for now. Thanks again!
Dude, this just worked! Corroded contacts - of course! And here I was testing relays and trying to figure out if I needed to replace the GEM unit. Thanks.
Oh my god it actually worked, I just bought a 2005 king ranch today the window got stuck as soon as I got home and it’s supposed to rain tomorrow and the leather seats are in perfect condition you’re a life saver man
Thanks man, window stuck down and it’s about to rain, button wouldn't do anything, tapped it 5 times and mashed it down w both thumbs for about 3 seconds and it worked like a charm!
Just applied your tips for my 2017 Ford Explorer which has different styled window buttons and low and behold it worked!! Thanks so much. All the best!!!
Short and sweet to the point I will let you know this was not my issue however I like the video so much I continue to watch it just due to the fact on the clarity and the general knowledge thank you very much I will definitely tune in again
So window power switch not working, changed silver relay in fuse box, no luck,switch out master switch,nothing. What I have noticed when I press switch it activities, the power heated mirror light come on, and also when I am using the heated mirrors only the passenger side work, wondering if you can point me in the right direction.
Oh thanks Soo much. I just searched for this issue. Window went down, not up. Anyway, that 2nd tip, worked right away. ( quick on off action ). I've been dry camping in the desert and lots of dust and sand out here. So I have a question, can I get one of those airstream pressure cans? To clean it out?
Thanks. What do you do if when checking current the down wire on the drivers side window shows no current. Is it the switch. I actually changed it out and it worked for a few days. Then back to not going down. Shows current when testing for up.
Ive replaces my 2000 mustang switches but still intermittently just dont get power to the passenger window, never slow just works fine or get no power either up or down.. Any advice?
I have a 2002 Ford Sport Trac that the Rear dacs window goes 3/4 the way up then comes back down quickly. Any ideas what I need to do to fix? I just got this truck so hopefully I'm operating it correctly. Tks
@1:00 area, the push rapidly, push often, push hard was not working. When I did the push and shake, that did it! My back right window went up. Ordering the switch now. Thank you sir.
replaced the drivers side switch panel, but the passenger side still does not work, all others work. the regulator on that door has been replaced and it does work at the door, but not from the drivers side?? does the signal bipass the passenger side switch? ie could it be a wire or plug from the drivers side that does not involve the passenger side switch since that side switch works???
I changed out the switch and the new one worked. This is back up car so I did not use it for two months. When I did drive it, I lowered the window nit it would not come back up. I got a replacement switch but I sill cannot get the window to move. There is no cable wrenching sound like I have had on other vehicles so I believe the cables are ok. If the motor is bad, why would it work once, but now later? Do you think it is the motor?
What if it's both Windows on one side happend in tge same day first the back window wouldn't go up but after awhile it did then hours later my front window got stuck down and it was working fine all day up till that point
Just got a new2me CV LX Sport w 104k!! Down to the hardware store w the windows down...and drivers rear wouldnt go back.....but after learning about the Jabthehelloutofit method....YOU ARE THE MAN! Thx ehh
maybe related to my issue? 2014 f250 superduty, passenger window sometimes works, others not. I also have an issue with the doors not auto-locking. I'll be driving and then I'll hear a clunk and the pass door locked. Way after I started moving. Bumped the rubber flex tube between door and body and the window worked for a while. Switches? or wiring at hinge? It is a plow truck but only 80k on it.
Hey man great video. I have a 2006 Ford E350 5.4l 3v. When I turn the key to the on position, the windows don't go down until about 20 seconds. Also, when the key is on the on position, the headlights always stay on (even though the headlights are turned off). Another symptom of this problem is that the fuel gauge and temperature guage on cluster also don't work for the first 20 seconds (works only after about 20 seconds of turning the key on the on position). This problem is consistent and happens everytime. Any useful tips/advice would be greatly appreciated.
i had a difficult diagnosis of a power window on a 2002 cougar itd work intermittantly did the troubleshooting tree test the RESISTANCE of the power switch. it tested good. next checked the wiring between the door and body found nothing. long story short switch was bad even though it "tested" good with the resistance. now i ALWAYS check for power going in and out of the switches now. much more effective
I had a 95 Crown Vic like that. I just accepted the fact that the window might work some days and might work other days, car only cost me $200 so I wasn't throwing a new switch at it. Punching the door panels when the motors got to a dead spot was a good one too.
Thank u! I like that u got to the point. I didn't have to watch forever to see if this is what I wanted. Now I'm gonna go see if this will work lol. Because yes out of the blue my window won't roll up and then it starts raining!!🤔🤔🤦
I have a 2013 Expedition. The driver window does not work. I have replaced the motor and switch and still only the driver window does not work. Not sure what to try next. The motor does not work when unmounted but plugged in Tried 2 different motors and still does not work. All other windows work fine.
Hit button while pulling up on the window with other hand usually gets a stuck one moving past the binding spot. Mine binds half way down. Don't think it is the switch and maybe the regulator sliding contacts are bad. Have a spare motor but it does the same thing. Only other thing I can think of is possible it is binding where the window slides in the felt track.
Thanks a lot.. pushing really hard on the button did the trick ..what a relief.. Now.. is there a magic button I can push that will change out my heater core.
I have a 2005 ford F-150 fx4 the fog lights wouldn't work at all so I replaced the fuse an relay finely got my fog lights to work but now the radio and windows don't work at all I was going to check the passenger side window coz it didn't work from either passenger side or driver's side but now none of the windows work
My friends 04 F150 has a problem where the front passenger and both rear passenger windows won't operate. Can anyone think of a single point of failure that would cause this to happen?
Victor Shu There is a open circuit in the safety belt pretensioner circuit on either the drivers or passenger front seat belts and really should be diagnosed by a professional as these are dangerous.
Hank Monroe hi I have a 2000 Excursion and my window goes up but it won't go down and if I push it to go down one of the not the little fuse but the big fuse to relay makes a noise when it shuts it down in a few seconds later he tried again can you help me
Thank you very much that’s the only thing I had to do was press hard it’s below 25 Degrees here. Didn’t want to leave my truck like this over night can’t use the car waiting on my StateFarm is cto replace the rims. Thank you
Pretty sure my motor is jamming but I opened and shut the door a couple times, pulled up on the window while pushing the button and it went up before the rain started. Cold last night driving home with it a 1/4 way down.
I loaded some wood in my 2008 town car and had it sticking out the rear passenger window. The last time, I put too much weight on it and the window is jammed in the down position. It will not go up and moves about 1/4 inch down after you hold the up position on the switch.
You're a life saver. I'm on a vacation and my rear window was stuck down. I pressed real hard on it with two thumbs like you said and luckily it went back up!

Oh my goodness!!! You totally saved me from a panic attack!!!! I kept tapping the switch and up my window inched! Thank you so much!!!!

OMG THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH! Dude you’re incredibly intelligent. I can’t believe this just actually worked. Like seriously you deserve all good things coming your way. Thanks again for helping people like me in these suck a** situations.
So glad I found this video! Got the window back up for a switch repair another day! Thanks!
Just saved my life! Rolled down my uncle window, forgot it won’t go back up. And the jab method worked like a charm!!! LMAO
Thx bro. Just pressed harder.
I take those switches apart and clean up the contacts, Alot of times a little cleanup with a file on the contact points is all they need.
Thank you sooooo much! I was warming up my car and trynna get the morning dew off the windows then my passenger window wouldn't go up. I was mostly upset,but after I calmed down I watched your video and it actually worked! Thank you so much!!!!!

I had a 95 Crown Vic like that. I just accepted the fact that the window might work some days and might work other days, car only cost me $200 so I wasn't throwing a new switch at it.
Punching the door panels when the motors got to a dead spot was a good one too.
200 for a crown vic? Let's go brandon.
Smash hard he says, it’ll go up he says:
*turns out working* thanks! :D
The jabbing method isn't working because I'm hitting either the wrong button or using the wrong finger. Could you specify which one to push?
