mine would not go up at all used a whole can on all four and they then went up but the next day they're like new

I have the same problem too. I use tyre shine. Usually my window needs help at the half way up point when wet. They should of put more powerful motors in them!!

all four of my windows were working fine.

then i decided to spray lithium grease down the runners as preventative maintenace..... now all four windows are sticking. I cleaned the runners out and tried silicone spray, same outcome

lesson here is, if it aint broke, dont f**k try fix it !!!

On my 1996 Fairlane Ghia the passenger window goes up and down fine, but makes a worrying clicking noise as it moves. The rear passanger sometimes makes the same sound? Any ideas as to the problem and fix?

hi everyone,
I have an AU XL(SE) Ute, which came with just the standard windy windows,
I have the door trims, the vinyl and the regs from another car that had power windows, so i'd pretty much be replacing the whole inside of the doors, I'm hoping to make a conversion to power windows,
I'm Just wondering whether anybody has made a conversion before, and how much of a job it is with the electrical setup,
Is it just a matter of hooking up a power and earth? or is it more of a major job?

Hey there LWM992welcome to Fordmods, I changed over the window regs in my AU 1 XR6 to Electric and it was a job I would NOT do again. You will IDEALLY need NEW harnesses for the doors, and make sure you have the High series BCM (under the right side of the dash) Yours will be a little easier as you have a Ute.

Also, you will need the Power window circuit breaker to put in the fuse box under the dash.

If yours is before 03/2000 the door harnesses will be different to the later models. The colour of the BCM for pre 03/200 is Yellow and for after that date, Pink. The only other thing I could think of is the Dash harness MAY be different??

Thanks mate, appreciate it!

Hey all...
I was told that Lithium grease would fix the problem.... has anyone else used it?

silicon spray where the windows run and lithium spray grease on the actual regulator runners,
the plastic slide for the window runs on the back faces of the metal regulator runner (door trim off)
ps try not to get any on the cables as this can make them slip inside the drive

Front passengers window would not even go down
Thought i would have to buy a new regulator
Sprayed some wd-40 on it and it was fine the next morning

i would advise NOT to use silicone spray or lithium spray as dust/dirt helps it turn to a thick paste

ive revived two of my windows that i originally messed up with silicone grease, by degreasing the living s**t out of the runners where all the wet lubricant had clagged up. Rinsed with water/scrwdriver/rag, then applied graphite powder which is a dry lubricant

spray silicon down the sides of the glass, where the glass fits into the rubbers

Works a treat, works instantly, no screw drivers and it doesnt f**k up.

Done it on two cars now for years, every twelve months (usually summer when it needs it) and it doesnt clog, in my experience.

graphite is a good idea

hi guy's the main reason that the electric and manual windows stick is due to the guides if you get some silicone spray lubricant and spray it down the rubber guides and wile it's wet run the windows up and down this will stop the glass binding witch causes most of the problems with broken cables you do need to do this about every 6 weeks and you will never need to repace the regulators again untill the finaly wear out this also works on other makes too and it dosen't matter if there manual or electric windows and the same goes for the door locks door handles only brake due to wearing out if it's all keep lubed i live in a very dusty enviroment but have had the same trouble as most of you guys have mentioned and found the cures having owened to many fords to list and as always you have to fix the things that frequantly get neglected like windows door locks and the usual bits and pices after year of doing these you get used to working out how to prevent future trouble as for the window treatment i sugest it chep to do and i have done this to a EF futura and the windows would come down but not back up after treating it and working it it took five minutes and they worked like new and still do had a similar problem with my EF GLI wagon manual windows same treatment and good as new i find that i have to redo them every 6 weeks but i drive down dirt roads regularly. you can also buy the eletric window regs brand new but don't go to ford if you can find a parts importer like we have in Perth SSS imports they sell new regs for about $150ea and there better than origonal and ford in Preth get theres from the same place but charge heaps more same goes for the wreckers if they tell you it's new they will charge at least $300ea and get them from the same place hope this helps

Anyone know where I can get power windows put into my ef falcon?
