Have you ever run into the rear window defrost and heated mirrors not working.
Yes many times and it was the switch also.
@@FordTechMakuloco How about the rear defroster busting or shattering the rear window? My 2014 came with no relay for the defroster/mirror heat, I read they did that after repairing busted rear windows to prevent them from being used.
THANKS SO MUCH ! AFTER LESS THEN 15 MINUTES MY REAR WINDOW WAS WORKING.
my sunroof works fine. Only the rear slider window doesn't work. If the switch fails can if fail only for the slider? If the sunroof works does that mean the switch is fine for the slider or still may be faulty and need replacement?
As a tech who hadn't seen one before... Thanks for helping me locate the damn button.
Brian is the very best information source for repairing Ford vehicles.
Man Brian, we really appreciate what you do for us.
Very informative and gives us the ability to fix these ourselves..
Could there possibly be some contacts in the switch that could be cleaned and keep from even having to buy the part?
Hi Brian. I just followed this vid and the rear window is functioning again as it should. The only "issue" I ran into was the rear tabs not sticking when reinstalling the housing unit into the ceiling. I checked the tabs and insert holes and they look fine. The front hooks/clips right in, just the rear don't. Any tips? Thanks for the great video!
Thanks for an exceptionally valuable video. I had my switch replaced in about 15 minutes and saved lots of $$ compared to paying someone to perform this easy fix. Couldn't have done it without ya, Brian. Much appreciated.
Can’t thank you enough for this informative video. The dealer wanted $271 for a new switch, installed.Thanks to you I did it myself in under 15 mins for the cost of the switch!
I'm from Iraq 😊🙏you are great the best better than Ford company
Thank you very much, worked perfectly.
Any way to test if this is the issue before buying the part? Thanks
BINGO! Absolutely spot on with the solution for that sliding rear window. Was hesitant to spend the money on a new switch but that was it. Thanks so much.
HOLY F***! I just did this fix, and would NEVER EVER have figured out the housing dis+re assembly without your video! Even WITH your video, I had to rewind a portion of the disassembly 3x! LOL! (i went to public school)
How did you go about diagnosing the problem was a bad switch? As opposed to a problem with the mechanics of the sliding window? Is it based on your experience or intuition or was their some test you performed on the switch or inspection of the slider that made you come to this conclusion.
loves the videos man always well made
Just myself a 2012 used F-150. Window worked great the first few days and decided to stop last night. Luckily it was closed. Ordering my new part in a few days. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Brian. My 2011 F-150 rear sliding window has been sticking for a year. I've been dreading taking it back to FMC for repair and despair of funding. I'll fix my window myself now that the " Professor " has spoken. Once again Bud, Thanks.
You're 100% right fix my problem had the same problem when I first bought the truck used luckily the dealer dealt with it I thought it was the motor when it happened again I was going to go into the motor but I thought RUclips why not watched your video just got done replacing it everything works perfect great tutorial on how to take it apart get it back together appreciate you thank you very much
@FordTechMakuloco I replaced the switch, but that didn't fix the problem. Neither the rear window nor the sunroof move. No motor noise. All the other windows & everything else on the truck work fine. Any idea what to try next?
My ford dealership told me it would cost $960.00 to replace the back sliding window. I followed instructions and replaced the switch I bought from amazon for $28.00 thanks Brian
Thanks Brian!! 10 minutes from the time I got the console out until my slider was working again! Thanks again.
Thank you so so much for the video. Saved me hundreds of dollars. 25 buck part on Amazon.
You're a legend mate
My 2010 F150 Lariat rear sliding window went out winter 2018. I followed your video today and purchased parts (Nov2020). Many thanks. I did as u instructed & my window works. Thank u dude.
Yo this just helped me out big time….. just replaced the buttons today, never woulda tried it without this video… thanks 🙏
Great video. Very informative. Thanks for passing on the knowledge...
What a great instructional video. Fixed the rear window and works like new again. Thank you!
Man what a life saver this was…. I was just about to drop $500 on a new window. quick google search, watched the video. $32 later, my rear slider was fixed! Great info great video easy to understand and duplicate
Quick, easy and straight to the point! Thanks for the help!
I open and close my rear window at least once a day for the last 5 years. Never had an issue with it. What do the tilt and slide buttons control? My truck only has the rear window switch.
This is awesome. But one thing to warn people about, is the 2015 and up F-150's use double sided tape to hold on rail for the back window. That's right - double sided tape. What happens when that tape wears off? The window falls in. In my case, washing the truck the window fell in. Completely blew my mind how these are engineered...
Is this essentially the same switch they use in a 2013 Expedition sunroof? I have one I rebuilt for broken slides. Bench tested track. Installed motor and the switch only works open and vent window functions. Tilt and close are inop. Tested everything else.
I recently purchased a 10 f-150 platinum. I've always had older model trucks so I was super excited to have something with with the newer amenities... back up camera..... leather...infotainment system.... sunroof ....etc.
I was lil bummed out first time I went to open my back glass when it failed to move. The other two buttons for the sunroof work perfect...... if those are working would just that particular button be out.........or would all 3 buttons not work?
The same symptoms existed on my 16 Explorer. Intermittently working and now nothing. Gonna try changing the switch pack out. Weird thing is, the shade button works fine. Great video and information, Kudos
👨🏼🔧😀😊👍🏼 Great Tips Thank You I Learn a Ton From Your Videos
Thanks so much , cow less ford dealer in prince William,s county VA wants $1700 to replace the window ,after watching your video replace switch myself in 10 min paid only $30 for parts . $1670 savings , very happy 😆 …never trust your dealer they are all thefts ……
Great video, thank you. I would connect the new switch before I take everything apart to make sure it works. New parts can be defective.
Thanks for the video. I fixed my rear sliding window. I had some trouble with the very last step, the console didn't want to click back together. I ended up opening the sunroof and I saw a black plastic piece that was flexing way too much for the tabs to click together. A little downward pressure on that with a screwdriver while pressing up on the console and it went back together!
Will see what happens. I have replaced console for other reasons and have another one, problem with mine is it won’t close the whole way and seems where the cable is, it is broke. Closes to within an inch and have to push further (why I don’t think it’s a switch )
With est 800$ labor/material my truck is nearing sell and done with FORD (same problems, year after year). 😒. Love the truck but starting to Nicole n dime me to death with just 65K miles.
Thanks for this!
Slide isn’t my issue. (I think T least). My window recently won’t completely close completely stopping about 1” short It’s annoying. It’s can’t fathom it’s switch, it seems like it’s stuck on something.on bottom. Any ideas???
A
Know where I can get the spring for the sunglass compartment? My console wouldn’t stay up and cane down and the flip compartment and spring came out. I don’t want to spend 150$ on a whole new console.
I'd like to know who the designer was on that white housing. OMFG that's a complex mold. Since I work for Ford I wonder if I can track all that down...I'd like to smack the designer, and if it was a Full Service Supplier, they should be smacked too for that design. Way over complex, and way too much BS in it. No wonder the interior tooling bill for the F-Series was OMFG expensive...
I liked how you walked us through the steps to make it so simple to replace. You the Man! Thanks and thumbs up!
Great video! I’m not having issues yet but have a question for you @fordtechmakuloco - is there preventative maintenance on the cable and track that can be done to add longevity to the assembly? Thanks !
Hey my window wasnt working in my 2010 f150 platinum. I watched this video and swapped out the switch. It now works but it goes really slow. I used air and blew out the track and put some wd40 on it. It helped but still seems like it drags any advice on that?
Hubby installed in a jiffy in our 2012 F-250. Thanks for a great tutorial!
Would like to see video for replacing the motor of the rear sliding window 2005 F150
Maybe one day soon, my 2004 does not work.
@@FordTechMakuloco We really appreciate you sharing all of your video help. My wife and I just replaced the 5.4L engine in my 2005 from Powertrain. Smooth as silk. Blessing for sure.
@@bretthaskin4557 Where did you get your replacement motor and cabling? I am trying to help my son's 2006 crew cab lariat he just bought. He is on a limited budget being 17 yo. We get very little movement in the open direction. The return cable does not move. I have lubed the cabling and cleaned the track. We are planning on removing the backrest first to access the motor and cabling. We are so fortunate and blessed to have stumbled upon Brian and his videos.
Just finished doing this an worked like a charm!!!! Thank you
Worked for me! Thank you! My sunroof has also stuck. I haven’t tried it yet because I’m not sure it is the same fix. Does this mix the sunroof or is it the $1500 fox ford wants you to pay for a bracket?
Took my truck to the dealership for this issue and they replaced the rear window motor and it worked like twice after that. Replaced this switch myself because the extended warranty had a 100 dollar deductable and the switch is cheaper. Fixed it right awaym now if I could only figure out why my rear defroster isn't working.
Another great video Brian. Any insights into rear window defroster malfunction with the sliding window option (fuse and relay are OK)?
I am looking for a wiring harness for this switch, I've looked almost everywhere.
Great video. Wasnt sure how to pull down that console. In my case I want access to the Sync microphone.
Do you know if that small plug is the microphone?
That was absolutely amazing. Bought the switch and installed in 15 minutes. I was thinking the window motor was going out. Switch did the trick. Thanks!
I have a 2011 f150 eco boost and my light does not come on with my rear defrost. I have checked all fuses and relay. What else could I check?
Im sorry to bother but how do I know if it’s this before ordering it. Mine is closed and doesn’t open. I replaced the relay thinking it was that but nothing. Also not related to this but on the newer model expeditions do you happen to know what’s aluminum? Like if I have to repair the a pillar on one is that aluminum as well? And thanks so much for your videos you’re awesome.
What would make my sunshade on my vista sunroof stop operating? 2019 lariat.
Great video! Thank you! This is one of the few videos online where the information presented is accurate and worth the time and effort put into it.
Fixed my 2012 F250 for $26! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video!
So if you broke the little clips on the back of the plastic the console clips into, so now it won't stay, how do you fix this? Do you have a video on that?
Thx so much . This literally took as long as ur video!
Outstanding how-to video. Thank you!
What about cleaning the contacts with isopropyl alcohol instead of replacing the whole module?
Does this tend to only happen on the ones with the sunroof? I have a 2014 with the slider but no sunroof so only one switch. Fortunately, no problem so far.
Is there a different switch for if you have the power slider but not a sunroof? I have a 2014 with solid back window and want to retrofit a sliding rear window.
Success here! thanks. Easy install w your video and Ir Worked! Slider window now slides again! Thanks
Anyone here knows where 2012 ford f-150 xlt sliding window bottom located?
My rear sliding window doesn't work. When I hit the button I can see the lights next to the switch dim a little. Would I still need a new switch. My rear defrost isn't working either
If the rear sliding window doesn't work but the sun roof does would the switch still be the problem? Thanks
heh on my '98 F150...there is no switch or slider...solid window...less to go wrong! lol.
Even after 3 years your instructions were spot on problem solved thanks
Good stuff. I don't even own a Ford Truck (Explorer owner here) and I still watch all your videos! Keep up the awesome work Brian
Was broke, now fixed. THANK YOU!
Does this apply to models without the sunroof and just the singular rear window switch?
My 2010 F150 platinum had the stuck sliding window problem for many years. Every now and again I would whack the mechanism behind the rear seat hoping it would “Unstuck itself” and start working again. When I used the Sliding window switch the map lights would dim a bit so I always thought the switch was good, and that power was getting to the motor. I changed out the switch today with a new one and angels started singing again as the window slid back and forth again just like new!
No such luck here
What if the switch works, you hear the motor but not opening, just swap out the motor for it?
My console is loose. Are the clips worn? Seems like its installed but pulls down easily?
Awesome! Thanks. Not difficult at all. Thanks goes the help
Freaking Awesome! Thank you! Not a single tab broken!
Still an outstanding tutorial!! Thanks man!
Have you done a video on the rear defroster? I REALLY need that one pls! TIA
I got that problem in my raptor ill try this first, and the door keypad doesn't work to i need help
Is this possibly a related issue with sunroof?? Both of mine get stuck
Another back slider fixed! Thanks again for this video.
So my sunroof and my rear window will not open. Is this the solution?
Great video! Switch replaced and rear window now working!
Brian, neither my sunroof or my rear sliding window work. I have replaced the switch and checked all fuses related to those parts. Any idea where to look now?
Can you make a video like this for a 2005 Ford F-150?
Any tips or videos on tightening drivers side motorized mirror? Every time I close my door on my 09 f150, I have to readjust my mirror.
Worked like a champ. Thanks for posting.
Would this fix work for the rear window defroster/ side mirrors stop working
Your video made it easy for me to replace the part.
Great video helpful fix my rear window thanks
Thank you! This made my slider work again 👏🏽
excellent video, thanks a bunch, saved me some money.
Perfect tutorial. Thanks!
Thank you very much, excellent guide
How do you know if it's the switch and only the switch that's bas
We need a video on the driver heated seat not working. Light blinks once and turns off. 2010 f150
You need the heater mat for the lower cushion. The module is sensing an open circuit and cuts off power until the next key cycle.
Got a video on how to replace the sliding track tray?
