Ford Explorer power window issue with motor functional but window not descending on Ford Explorer

Problem overview

Some Ford Explorer owners report experiencing issues with their power windows not descending despite a functional motor. Common causes identified include a blown fuse, a bad window motor, wiring issues, or a faulty switch. Additionally, some owners find that if the window lock button is engaged, it can prevent window movement, as this safety feature disables the window switches. It is also important for owners to check for power to the Light Blue/Black wire, which is the main feed wire from the Accessory Delay relay supplying power to the master window switch and window lock switch, as this can help in diagnosing the problem.
