Anyone else have issues with their truck back window rolling down?

That clicking could be a sign of a mechanical obstruction. Might be worth checking for debris in the track.

I had issues with my Sierra’s back window. Ended up being a faulty switch. Replacing it did the trick!

23

I thought my problem was with the window itself, but it was just a blown fuse after all! Saved me a lot of hassle and money.

Glad to hear that! Fuses are usually an easy fix compared to mechanical issues.

Has anyone tried disconnecting the battery to reset the electronics? That sometimes helps with my truck’s quirks.

That sounds like a good idea! I’ve heard that can sometimes resolve odd electrical issues.

Just my luck! My back window rolled down but won’t come back up. Now, I feel like I’m driving with a convertible! :joy:

At least you’re getting some fresh air! Hopefully, you can figure it out before the rain comes!

Definitely check the window motor too! Sometimes they just fail after a few years of use. What model do you have?

I have a 2015 Ford Ranger. It seems to have electrical gremlins, especially with the windows.

31

I’ve heard those models have window issues! Have you looked into any recalls?

32

Actually, I found out my truck had a recall on the power windows but didn’t get the notice in time. Definitely check that!

33

That’s brutal! I’ll definitely check into that. Thanks for the tip!

I’ve been having some issues too. I found that regularly lubricating the window tracks prevents jamming. Using a silicone spray really helps!

That’s a great tip, Kimberly! I also recommend checking the rubber seals for wear. Sometimes they get cracked and can affect the window’s operation.

It’s not just the track, but also make sure your window’s motor is functioning properly. If it makes odd noises, it might need some love.

37

So true! It’s always the motor that seems to fail at the worst times. I’ve had to replace mine twice already!

38

I’ve heard that some people try using regular oil for lubrication. I wonder if that can cause more harm than good?

It can indeed attract dirt and grime, which is counterproductive. Stick with silicone for cleaner results!

Has anyone tried using any specific brands of silicone spray that work best? I want to avoid buying something that doesn’t do the job.
