If you can hear the motor clicking then you will have to pull the door panel off. It sound's like the window motor is getting power but you will have make sure it's getting power and ground. Let me know what you find.

I have a 1998 Ford Expedition. I've been having problem with my power windows. Somedays all 4 of my windows would work for me and somedays it won't. Please help me solve this problem?

If it happens at the same time to all 4 windows, my first guess it the main switch on the driver's door. When they are not working, check the switch for power both in and out of it.

Let me know what you find.

Help! I initially had a problem with the windows falling out of the tracks. I had this repaired, but it did not last. Then, the rear left window stopped working. After I put the drivers window back on the track for a second time, suddenly they all stopped working. Thankfully they were all rolled up at the time. I'm getting no power to any of the windows now. The power locks still work. I checked the main fuses under they hood, but they did not appear to be blown. I replaced them anyway, but it did not fix the problem.

It sounds like your main window switch is disconeccted or shorted. You may have to replace the window regulator on the window that keep falling out of the track. To test the window motor on the passanger side follow this instruction - https://www.2carpros.com/how_to/power_window.htm please let me know how it goes. Thanks for using 2carpros.com

1997 eddie boauer expedition drivers side window wont roll down. (Or up) but you can hear something clicking like a solinoid under the dash, so the switch has got juice.

You'll have to remove the door panel and test for power and ground arriving at the motor. You could have a bad motor or bad regulator.

I got the panel off, how do I get the motor/regulator out? And does each window motor have its own regulator?

The wires are exposed. They come from the outside. You can also see and hear if the motor is trying to move to indicate a jammed regulator.

Ok, no noise from the motor. Just the clicking under the dash. I even put my hand on it to feel if it was trying, or heating up. Negative on both counts. So bad motor then I guess?

Yes, did you read my last one? The door panel is off. The wires go into the door, to the motor I cant see. If I cant see where the wires arrive at the motor, how I can I test there? What am I missing here? (Really not trying to be a smart ass)
