Drivers side switch will not open or close either window. Passenger side switch works well.so I'm assuming not a fuse issue.put 12 v to drivers side motor and goes up and down no problem.would the switch be the issue? Not willing to spend over 100 for switch and find out it's not.

 

Google up Ford Ranger power window switch....have seen them for as low as 15 bucks on e-bay. Check out Amazon, Parts Geek, OE Fords parts, ect...no where near 100 bucks.
Never give up searching....lost of places to check.
Try changing the passenger switch side contacts with the drivers side...if that works than you know the drivers side switch is bad.

What Year Ranger?

Most years the passenger switch is grounded via the drivers side switch, that's how the drivers side can operate the passenger side, via the 2 ground wires

In most years the drivers side and passenger side share a 12volt wire from same fuse, so if one side works its not the fuse

In 1995 and up Ford added "one touch" open on drivers side, so you don't have to hold the button, but that shouldn't effect passenger side window control from drivers side switch

If there was a problem with the 12volt wire in drivers door that would effect both switch in that door but not passenger side switch
So when door switch is out test for 12volt key on power on light blue/black stripe wire(wire color depends on the year)

 

found the issue broken wire in the door opening,also wire broken for my power mirrors as well

 

broken wire in door

 

had to cut rubber boot in door jamb as I could not get at the broken wires.i guess the thing to do is put it back on and tape it up nice?

 

Yes, there should be a plug(connector) behind the drivers side kick panel for the drivers door wiring harness, also a ground wire or two, bolted to body

In most cases the doors are pre-wired/pre-assembled with boot and connector sticking out, and then installed/hung during full assembly

So not really an easy way to fix a broken wire inside the boot
If you can ID the wire by color you can often "fish" a new wire thru the boot, and then splice it at both ends

But glad you found the problem, good work

 

Hi my 2011 ranger
when you flip the switch to driver moves prefectural but when you flip the it to passenger it moves the driver mirror but when I probed Sent power or ground it would move the passenger. I guess my quest is should I open that boot in where the door opens see if I got a cut wire ??

 

ooverwindow.if you have power you will not have a wire issue.probably its the switch

 

Well I got a new switch I forgot mention cuz I though the same thing and it still does it

 

I just replaced my switch with a new one and still the driver side window is not working. But when I toggle the switch, I hear the relay under the dash ticking. I removed it and clean the connections but still no luck. Could the relay be bad or does the ticking mean its still working and the problem lies elsewhere?

 

You should start your own thread
Does the motor work when you connect it to 12v and ground directly?

With key on you have both 12volts and a Ground at the door switch, you can unplug the motor's 2 wire connector and use jumper wires to connect motor directly to 12v and ground, motor should move instantly
Reversing the 12v and ground makes motor turn the other way
If no action then motor is bad

 

Thanks for your reply...For $50 I just ordered a new unit from Parts Geek. If I'm going to dig in to the door I might as well have the part to replace if needed.

 

Junkyard grab a few. All 3 shouldn't be bad. I have a thread going window goes up not down and was given good advice about one touch relay and both should show ground when neutral and gem module. But you should run power and ground to motor first to see if good then get test light
