2001 Mustang Cobra QTR Rear Window Wont Work
« on: March 27, 2015, 07:33:00 pm »
My rear electric quarter window in my 2001 Stang Convertible stopped working. Checked fuses (fuse) and it still wont work. Others windows do.
It happened after getting it washed at a hand wash place. It was working last week.
Is there a way to check the motor? Are they easy to get (motor)???

Any one in Northern Beaches area of Sydney that can check?

Would it be the same fix as per the main windows?
1. Remove door card.
2. Hit with hammer.
3. Re fit door card.

Might sound crazy but it might just work!

Sounds llke an issue with the switch, you need to get to the switch contacts and short across them and see if the motor turns over. If not then you may have a loose wire or a fault in the motor or the mechanism is jammed.

Its working (next day) after sitting all night. As it was washed I think water may have stopped it working. When it dried out it started to work. Issue is, where did it happen? QTR window motor or drivers main switch panel??
Will check next time if it happens!!!
