2001 ford explorer sport. The driver window regulator took a dive. I took it apart, fixed the regulator and when I reassembled the motor and regulator, it was a little difficult. I had to try and readjust the motor before bolting and when I pressed the automatic down switch, it went all the way down, jammed the mottor pulling the cable harness tight. and then stopped. I since bought a new motor, but this didn't solve the issue. Could I have blown a relay or when it jammed one of the wires was pulled to tight. The wires harness looks pretty sturdy. I ruled out the control module, since it worked prior to the motor pulling the wires tight. and damaging the wires to the original motor. Please help, I hope it is just a simple relay. Maybe they need to be reset.

The light on your interior button should only come on when the lights are on, so I wouldn't worry about that until the lights are fixed. There should be a relay for your fog lights. I would check your underhood fuse relay box. switch that relay with another, such as fuel pump. I lights come on and now vehicle won't start, you know that it is the relay you have now put in your fuel pump circuit from your fog lamp circuit.

Common problem on 2001 Ford Explores. The reason why your door handle doesn't unlock the door(can't be unlocked by remote either)is due to a broken spring located on the backside of the door handel INSIDE the door. True that your one(or two) of your small exterior springs on your door handle are broken(will cause your handle to flap) but this IS NOT YOUR PROBLEM. The door locks will work if there is a bit of tension holding the handle bracket up. I know it's hard to explain without pics. but here's the ONLY WAY TO FIX THIS. It's not that hard.......... Remove the door panel, only a few screws and a few more holding trim around exit handle then, pull out "snap in" clips on bottom. With a flashlight you'll see back side of door handle. To get to that area you'll have to remove one bolt holding a window frame. Do that(with window in up position) then slide down rail, out of your way. Now, get back to handle. With your light aimed at the backside of handle left slowly the door handle as normal, and you'll realize(while looking at the mechanism) that tension(pulling down of bracket) needs to occur in order for locks(manual and remote)to work properly. Trust me.....you'll figure it out. Once you do, get a spring(pen spring, 30 cent hardware store spring, any small spring!) and hook one end to bracket and the other end to ANYTHING(OUT OF THE WAY) below the door handle thus, causing SLIGHT tension. Try your locks...THEY WILL WORK! YEAH! Replace that one window frame bolt(try your window...just the make sure), replace door panel and your done. TOTAL COST: 30 cents or FREE(if you have a small spring) Ford dealers will charge $150 to $285! Yikes!

• The window switch goes to to the motor. No relays or fuses for just that. If it was a fuse or relay all the windows would be out.
• Check your master switch again as this is where the wires come out of for the vent windows. What ever is effecting one is effecting the other.
• 2 wires from the master switch for left window and two for right window. Left = yellow and black and yellow and lite blue and Right = black and black and yellow.
• Pull the switch up and check them pins for polarity at them pins as you push the switch to open or close.
• Make sure the switch is good.
• There is a harness in the drivers door as you open it. Slice the casing opening to expose all the wires that run through. Often wires crack in there.
• What ever is effecting one is effecting the other. Make sure you used a new master switch not a salvage yard switch.

• If you have questions or comments please feels free to ask.
