Ok. Now we're getting somewhere. That sounds to me like the main wiring connector into the door came loose or the wires broke. You'll need to remove the left kick panel cover and probably the door cover to check. How about the speaker in that door, if there is one?

The speaker is working. Either Friday or Saturday morning I will take the door panel off and check all connections and wires. I think there is 4 different connectors with in the door panel five with the power mirror. I appreciate the assistance and I will let you know what I find. Thank You.

Before you go all out with the door panel, check the door switches for power and proper function (opening and closing of the circuit when the switch is moved.).

Electrical problem
2005 Ford F150 Four Wheel Drive 51,000 miles

My power windows have stopped working. I've checked the 401 fuse and it has continuity. I think it may be a bad ground. All four windows are open and the individual door windows switches do not work.
How do I repair ithem?

Possible causes for all power windows to be inoperative are :

fuse

circuitry ( instrument cluster module [ ICM ] )

accessory delay relay (located in central junction box)

driver window control switch

since you have already checked fuse the next step would be to inspect the relay.

I took off the driver side master switch and checked the power to it. I had power and was able to bypass the switch raising all 4 windows on at a time eliminating the other possiblities. I've ordered the new master switch.

Thanks for your help.

Drivers window quit working about half way up. Tried all windows none worked. It would alarm when trying to operate saying door open. I replaced the window circuit breaker on passenger side fuse box. I got the drivers window up but now nothing g works again on any window. I did toggle the safety override button back and xforth on drivers arm rest. Nothing changed.

I can operate all power windows from the main panel on the drivers door, however, the windows will not operate from the switches on the other 3 doors.

We tried a new "power window module" however, it did not fix the problem.

What else should we try.

The power to the other windows originates from the driver's side. Check wiring from there over to the other windows. Also, make sure there is power from the switch.

Barb, you need to remove the inner door panel to check for power to the motor. Either the motor is bad or the switch or there is no power to the door. If you need directions on how to check the motor, refer to our homepage under the DIY section for directions.

Hello

I have attached the troubleshooting chart for the windows. Also, I have attached how to check the window relay. I am not sure how you are checking your fuses, but instead of a visual I would use an ohm meter to ensure.

You said you replaced the main power switch so I attached how to check the window switch.

The windows go through a Generic Electroonic Module (GEM) You will need to see if there are any codes to check this out.

You can go to Auto Zone or O'Reilly's and they can check to see if your car has any DTC codes for free. Make sure if it does and you don't fix it and you need to get back with us you tell us the code number and what they said the code meant. Also while there have them pull their tester out and for free they can check your battery, alternator and starter.

This is what the GEM does.

NOTE: Each vehicle has either a Generic Electronic Module (GEM) or Central Timer Module (CTM) depending on option content. Upon installation of a new GEM, the module must be reconfigured. Refer to Module Communications Network (Information Bus).

The following is list of GEM/CTM controlled functions:

wipers/washers (front/rear)
warning chimes
battery saver
illuminated entry and courtesy lamps
accessory delay
driver power window (GEM only)
The generic electronic module (GEM) constantly monitors its subsystems for concerns. If a concern is found in one of the subsystems, the GEM will record the concern in the form of a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) . The ignition switch position is very important to the GEM function. Often times, erratic or unexpected GEM function can be traced to concerns with ignition switch inputs.

Ignition Switch Positions
The position of the ignition switch is very important to correct GEM operation. The following is a brief description of five ignition switch positions.

When the ignition switch is in the RUN position, battery voltage should be present at the GEM RUN and RUN/ACC input terminals.

When the ignition switch is in the ACC position, battery voltage should be present at the GEM RUN/ACC input terminal only.

When the ignition switch is in the START position, battery voltage should be present at the GEM start/clutch depressed input.

The GEM module does not have an OFF or LOCK switch state input. The GEM will assume the OFF or LOCK position when there are no RUN, ACC, or START signals present.

CAUTION:

Prior to removal of the GEM, it is necessary to upload module configuration information to a diagnostic tool. This information needs to be downloaded into the new module once installed.
Once the new GEM is installed, it is necessary to download the module configuration information from the diagnostic tool into the new module

If I understand your question, the dash lighting is controlled by the headlamp switch.

Testing the headlamp switch

https://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/248015_z10_1.jpg



I think after your checks it is possible that the headlamp switch may be defective for your dash lights. I think your GEM is affecting your windows.

For your cruise control

First you have 3 recalls you need to check with the dealer with your VIN number to see if you are okay.

First recall: 05S28S14 01/28/2008 Recall - Speed Control Deactivation Switch Defects

Second recall: NHTSA07V336000 08/02/2007 Recall 07V336000: Cruise Control Fire Hazard

Third recall: NHTSA05V388000 09/07/2005 Recall 05V388000: Cruise Control Switch Replacement

As before - I would have the codes checked on the car. I have attached the troubleshooting charts for the Cruise. You do need the attached special tools to check. But I would go through all the fuses with the ohm meter and start there. Then get back with us if you don't find anything.
