Problem overview

Some Ford Explorer owners report experiencing issues with all four power windows not functioning, which may be attributed to several common causes. These include electrical problems such as faulty fuses, relays, or wiring that can lead to power window failures. Additionally, a malfunctioning window motor or regulator may prevent the windows from operating correctly. Owners are advised to have the power window motor tested if the windows are unresponsive, particularly focusing on the driver window. In some cases, the issue may be as simple as the lock button being engaged, which can disable other window controls. Furthermore, some owners have noted that symptoms like windows opening or closing on their own or working intermittently could indicate underlying computer system issues. Lastly, problems with door wiring, including broken wires in the door jam, have also been reported as a cause of power window failures. Identifying these potential issues can help owners resolve their power window problems effectively.
