paulmlac Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 2011 Fusion SE with 97 k... As background, the drivers window appears to be going down slightly on its own as I drive, hit bumps, etc. Maybe a 1/16 or 1/8 of an inch. Not more than that. Just very slight. So when I go to press the button to lower that window, nothing happens, the window stays in place. This is intermittent, not all the time. Finding that I need to first lift the button to raise the window. Then i can press the button and the window lowers. Any idea what's causing this?

paulmlac Posted August 8 Author Share Posted August 8 (edited) Super helpful. Answers everything. Except the actual “why” part that I was seeking. By the way, my Honda that’s 19 years old with 190 k doesn’t do that. Edited August 8 by paulmlac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Multitask Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Ok, then, here is a clue, something seems to be going bad.... something electronic.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
92merc Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I don't have a Fusion, so I'm only going by general troubleshooting skills. Does the window just "creep" down on you? Like really slowly where you don't notice it? That to me would mean something mechanical like the motor. If you actually hear the motor just briefly engage to drop, to me that means electronics like the window switch. Just spit balling here...

paulmlac Posted August 12 Author Share Posted August 12 Yes, it's the "creep" down, really slowly, don't notice it like you mention. I don't hear the motor but its doing the creeping while driving so loud enough to not hear then anyhow. Was wondering if it could be the regulator. Think they help hold the window up in place.

I would start with the regulator personally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
