Hello, I just bought a used 2006 F150 with power windows this morning. I rolled the drivers side window down at a drive-thru and now it won't go back up. I have the switch panel apart and the wiring harness disconnected from the switches. There are 4 switches connected to this paticular wiring harness (front and rear drivers and passengers windows.) Can anyone tell me which wires I need to jump together to activate the drivers side window motor to go up? I want to trouble shoot the switch first before the motor since the motor will go down, and if I hit the button a million times it will go up a tinge, but keeps shutting off. I am thinking its probably a faulty switch, but want to get the window back up since is 20 degrees tonight. Thanks in advance! ED7

Ok a search of the web turned this up for a 2005 which should be the same: Window Up
Driver \ TAN / BLUE
Pass \ TAN / BLUE
Driver Rear \ YELLOW / BLUE
Pass Rear \ RED / BLACK Window Down
Driver / WHITE / BLACK
Pass / WHITE / YELLOW
Driver Rear / GRAY / ORANGE
Pass Rear / YELLOW / BLACK So the question is, do I apply power or ground to the pins to activate the motor?? Thanks!

its gonna be 5 wire so you cant just put 12v on the wire or it will cause a short. disconnect the switch totally and then put the WHITE/ BLACK wire to ground and the TAN/BLUE wire to 12v to make the motor turn the direction needed to roll the window up.

Ok, I am now able to roll up and down the other windows using this method, but when I try to roll the drivers window up, I pop the little 8A fuse in my cigarette to bare wire adapter I made. Is 8A not enough, I actually popped one rolling up the passengers window which works fine. If this is all correct, would this mean that the motor on the drivers door is bad? Seems wierd since it will go down, but I don't really know how it all works, so I guess its possible?

try a 10a fuse. if it still pops the fuse but only on that window there is most likely an internal short in the motor. it can also be a short on the "UP" wire. with the switch disconnected try and put 12v on the "DOWN" wire but dont put ground on the other wire. if it still goes down its because the other wire is shorted to ground. i doubt its that however because it would have poped a fuse in your fuse box.

OK, problem figured out. Autozone didnt have any 10A fuses, but I got a 15A and tried it. It rolled right up using the 12v and ground from the cigarette lighter. So I guess that means I need to replace the switch module. $50, but at least I won't be paying a dealer to diagnose and replace! Thanks alot for all your help, I REALLY appreciate it!
