do they just not work at all or do they make noise when you hit the buttons or somethin? it could just be bad actuators and motors...look around on google for new actuators and window motors....u could also try...ford parts

you need to open the harness(wires) right at the boot on the driver's door opening. The system is all tied together from left to right and if the wires break it shuts it down in funky ways. the place to start is right there. you will find broken wires. Garuanteed. Been there with my 90 Musatng. The door being opened and closed causes the wires to break.

The easies way is to remove
a door panel and dissconnect
the window riser connector.
Use a DVM to measure across
terminal to see plus or minus
voltage when the switch is pushed.
If no, then there is a dissconnect
somewhere up to the fuse.
