Exclamation Window not working.

Hi guys...My left drivers side window is not working in my cobra but all the other windows work. I checked the window lock and the fuse but don't know where else to check. The only thing I noticed is when I click the button there is a clicking noise coming from underneath the steering wheel.

Wiring or dead motor in the door or the door window control button could have something wrong with it. I've notice FORD wiring from factory isn't the best. My driver side window makes a click sounds when it goes up to the stop point and my driver side mach tweeter comes and goes when it wants to.

I thought my motor was bad so i bought a new one, nope, didn't solve the problem. does the samething with the new motor, i think my problem is the track. goes up and down fine, but when it goes up, instead up stopping it clicks, but it's up.
I think i still have by previous motor, and it works, if you want it, just have to pay for shipping. And they are easy to change. just have to becareful with the 3 nuts and don't drop them in the door. Just PM me about it.

You just take the door cover off. take the door insert out, you might see some screws there after taking it off, then push up then out toward you to get the clips out of the door, then that piece should be out. if you have mach tweeters you'll have to take the cover off, remove the 3 nuts, then do the door part. looking at the bare door, look in the bottom center hole and you can see the motor, wiring connector and the 3 nuts that hold the motor, might have to move some of the plastic cover out of the way thats stuck to the door, undo the connector and the 3 nuts and it'll come out of that hole, then put the other motor in and redo everything, but you have to take your time with it so you don't drop anything in the door, and the holes are just big enough to fit the motor or your hands. it took me probably 20 mins taking my time with it to change it. then put the door back on and you'll see how that goes when you take it off, might take a couple of tries to get the door back on right with all the hooks in the door right.

$60.00 w/ Shipping Brand New, prefect parts.
Left Front Motor
Right Front Motor

I own a motor that was bought from this member, he has a great warranty and the part is guaranteed to work.

Don't let Ford B.S. you and steal your money!
