Default Help with my pwr windows/doors

My driver's side door lock and windows aren't working.
I have a 94 gt and the drivers window won't go up or down on its own. I have tried searching, but don't come back with anything that will help. I can hear it spin but that is about it.

Same for the lock, it sounds as if it is just spinning. The passenger side works perfectly.

Take the panel off and see if the cable is loose, if its tight then the window motor gear is stripped, its only plastic

In most ford cars they have three little plastic round pieces in the motor the break or wear out then you hear the mottor run but the window wont move up or down..when I bought my car both windows did this..

I went to the junkyard and pulled the motors out of a mark 7 and a v6 mustang then pulled the motors apart and used the little plastic pieces to put in mine the guy behind the counter just said take-em..cant beat free

If you dont have access to a junkyard they sell the plastic pieces at ford and on ebay..
as far as your door locks not working its probably your switch is wore out you need a new one.

its only 3 screws that hold the motor in funny it was bolted in with sheetmetal screws on mine but the v6 mustang had actual nuts and bolts holding it in.. I think broncos have the same design also.you cant use the motors out of the bronco but you can use the little plastic pieces out any ford motor that has them good luck
