2002 Ford Explorer- drivers window stuck in down position. regulator/motor gets very hot, can hear a "click" when button is pressed to make window go up, but nothing moves.
Anyone here willing/able to fix this for me? I have a ton of stuff going on and no time right now to fix it.
If interested, contact me at jwalecki@qg.com


thanks

**update**
I removed the electrical plug from power window motor and hot wired the motor directly from the battery and the window went right up. I replaced the plug and turned key to ON position, without hitting the window button the window went down on it's own.
Bad switch? Pinched/shorted wire?

My guess would be a bad switch. If you drive with your window open or if rain and/or water get into them they will corrode. I had to replace mine once for that reason. rain got in the assembly and my windows became posessed going up and down at random. Once it dried out they didn't work at all. ($10.00 at a salvage yard)

sounds like the drivers side auto down is stuck.
