SOURCE: 2003 explorer front passenger window regulator/motor replcement

You will first need to remove the door panel on the inside. Then you will need to remove the window glass from the track it rests in. Then you need to undo all the screws that attach the regulator inside the door. At the top of the door where the glass slides up and down remove the inner and outer window track guides. Then very carefully maneuver the regulator up and out the top of the door. Reverse the procedure to replace. It sounds easy, but you need to almost be double jointed to do this. So, have great patience while doing this task. Good luck.

SOURCE: 2002 explorer power window fuse where

In the battery Junction Box check fuse # 6-60AMP will feed Central Junction Box (under driver side), the inline circuit breaker #47-30AMP, through the Accessory Delay Relay, powered by fuse #17-15AMP to the Window Control Circuit. Check the fuses, and for 12v at the points. Then check for 12v at the driver side door switch pannel.

Also uou should check the plug into the main window button console in your drivers door. The little piece of plastic around the door handle pops out when pushed towards the front of the vehicle. This gives you access to the buttons and harnesses.

Good luck (remember rated this help).

Thank yo for the schematic Ernesto. It says Nissan 1996, so is the 2008 still using the same schematic?

It can be issue with motor itself.If its not going up,then how its working down.But still it feels like weak window motor or is issue with power window switch.Get the voltage tested at switch and motor.Also try another working window motor at not working window side.
==========For more troubleshooting i suggest go through the help links mentioned below:-----

How do I get to the power window motor after I get the panels off my 2002 ford explorer? There appears to be a loose cable heading into the motor housing. Power widnow goes down but not up

You should see three star screws, Remove these and the motor should come off. Check the plastic plugs in the motor and replace with plugs or ball bearings, pack with wheel bearing grease. You may have a defective window regulator. To remove. using a /14 inch punch punch out the rivits and replace with 1/4 nuts and bolts. Drill out the aluminum inserts using 1/4 drill. When replacing the regulator do not over tighten the bolts holding in the glass.

Rear window regulator broke

The regulator is attatched to the glass using the rivets through plastic disks. You need to drill them out before the glass can be removed.Save the plastic parts for reassembly.Good Luck
