No the switch is burned out. It will be intermitent, but make sure your dealer keeps trying to roll the window up and down until he can duplicate the problem. This happened to me a while back and when I went to the dealer the first time they tested it but for a short time and the window worked fine. When I brought it back for the same problem they kept trying until the window finally failed to roll up by itself. Then they just replaced the switch.

Do a search on google for Ford OEM parts, you will find a website that sells genuine Ford parts but for much cheaper. I'm not sure if they ship over seas or not. The part will be the same so there is no Saleen specific part number.

Check the manual. There's a section in there about the windows. When the battery loses power, the failsafe is that the window stays down so you don't crash it. The manual explains how to reset it.

Good luck



I just checked it. Page 45 explains how to restore auto up functionality, page 46 the short drop reset.
