Some Ford Expedition owners report experiencing issues with their power windows, often attributed to a faulty window regulator assembly. Symptoms of failure may include the window being inoperative, making unusual noises, or getting stuck, indicating that the window regulator is likely the cause. When diagnosing the problem, owners may find that if the power window voltage toggles but the window does not move, it suggests a bad motor or a broken regulator causing the motor to stall. If the switch receives power and ground but the window still won't operate, the issue may lie with the window motor power or the regulator mechanism itself. Possible solutions include replacing the entire window regulator if repairs are not feasible or replacing the motor by securing it into the window regulator gears and reconnecting it. Additionally, owners should check for blown fuses, bad wiring, or issues with the control module if the switch isn't receiving power. After any work on the door, reinitializing the window regulator motor may be necessary for proper functioning. Under normal conditions, the window should operate smoothly with a single press of the button; if multiple presses are needed, it may indicate a problem with the system.
