Some Ford Five Hundred owners report experiencing issues with windows that won't close, often linked to problems within the window's electrical system. These issues may arise from a malfunctioning window safety lock-out switch, which should be checked to ensure it is not engaged. Additionally, owners should verify that the fuses related to window operation are intact. Some owners have found it helpful to test the window switch by pushing it up and down while listening for sounds or observing the dash gauges. If the switch is receiving power and ground but the window remains unresponsive, the problem could be with the window motor power or the window regulator mechanism. If these troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue and replacement parts are hard to find, it is advisable to consult a professional mechanic for further assistance and alternative solutions. Exploring all repair options is crucial before considering a new fuse box.
