hey guys, I can't get my window to work in my 95 mustang. I changed the motor and found out that wasn't the only problem. I took the new motor back out and checked it a long with the old one. both were good just the old one was a lot slower. I checked all the fuses under the dash and under the hood but all were good. I looked up a diagram after that and windows werent in the fuse boxes. are the fuses for the windows somewhere else? I can't find anything. Anyone know what it could be or where the fuse is? thanks in advance

do you have a multimeter and some patience?

I don't have a multimeter but patience... enough to get it done lol. I know the actual switch isn't bad because I switched the passenger and driver window switches that are both on the driver side and the driver side worked for the passenger but driver still no. I'm tryin to do trial and error until I can find someone with a multimeter that I can barrow. are there even fuses for the windows? also since the passenger window is still working could it even be a fuse? I'm guessing they both run on the same circuit.

often times the wires break thsat go through the accordian boot at the door hinge, a multimeter can test wiring for continuity

ok but if the fuse was blown neither window would work right?

DEPENDS ON the circuit and how it's wired but normally your thinking is correct

my problem with the driver side was the "one-touch" module or whatever ford calls it.

it wasnt working which caused the window not to work either.

ok well I got a timing light.. theres power going to the window motor? theres only power going to the yellow wire. I'm guessing to switch the motor from rolling up to down it switches the power to the red and yellow back and forth, true or not? if so then I've lost a connection somewhere inside of the door but now I cant do anything because its raining and no garage.
anyone ever noticed that whenever you have a window problem it rains that day? thought you guys would get a kick out of it. same thing happened to my last mustang 4 times, wouldn't rain for months then randomly even in the summer my window wouldn't work one day and it would rain.

switch reverses polarity to motor

ok, I used the test light and found the red wire changes to a white and black wire that goes into the cab and into the firewall but I cant find it after that
