Could be the battery saver or the accessory delay relay and the generic control module under left side of I/P and also the master switch itself

The master control switch is the one you control the rest of the window from the driver side-open the driver's window and investigate closely why it won't go back up

Disconnect the motor pigtail and apply power to it and then reverse the power lead did it turn either way?-Nothing happens -consider replacing it-

My driver side window will not go up! I pulled some things apart and have come to the conclusion that it is the relay for the window. My problem is that I just want to get the window up one last time. I took the door panel off and tried to push it up by hand, but it seems as if it is locked in place. Can you tell me if there is something locking it down there? And if so any suggestions on how I can unlock it to manually put it up? Please HELP!

I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago and the first thing I did was check all the fuses which of course were all good. What I did that fixed my problem was to switch the window lock switch back and forth several times and then it worked and have had no problem since.
I don't know if it fixed the problem maybe because of dirt or dust that had fallen into the switch or maybe I was just lucky. Anyway you might try it to see if something that simple can fix your problem also.

This might help someone out there, seems a issue with all 02 fords I have, when the windows, door locks or interior lights started acting up, I found the wiring tubes from the fender to the doors was getting water in them and the wires were wearing, for a quick fix I cut the bottom of the tubes they were half full of water, once I got them dried out I fixed the wires that we rubbed thru. You can either cut the boots off, as I did, or just put cuts so any water getting in can drain out the bottom, I had lights coming on it the middle of the night draining my battery, as well as when I was driving in the rain. This fixed the issues. Hope it helps.

02 f150 supercrew, window stuck in down position I sprayed the buttons and was able to get it up by shaking the wireing tube from fender to door. Sure enough. Frayed wireing was shorted in water in the tube. Got window up. Will repair in dry weather
