Help please! Rear passenger window won't roll up?

[Zaptor]

Truck was fine yesterday, charged to 100% last night to do weekend things without charging. I was getting ready to hop in to run into town, and went to crack all 4 windows to get it cooling a bit, when the rear passenger window went *all the way down* after I had released all 4 buttons (and the other three stopped). Now, no use of the button on the driver's door or the rear passenger door will raise the window. Tried power cycling, drove it a bit, parked it, tried again, still wide open... don't really want to leave it anywhere (much less drive 70) with the window wide open... Anyone seen this and what do I do to reset it or make it happy again? Thanks for any help with this!

Maybe hold the button up for several seconds?

Check fuses? I'm not familiar enough to know if there are fuses for each window but it's the only thing I can think of at the moment.

Thank you, I just went out and tried that, nothing. There's a clicking in the door when I don't touch anything, like maybe a bad relay... when I pull *up* on the switch, the clicking stops.

Pull the negative terminal on the 12v battery. It sounds like something is stuck, and completely de-powering the 12v system might help

The rear passenger window switch had no effect either?
If you want to do-it-yourself, which I would not recommend until out of warranty, here is a 2022 Explorer driver's door switch disassembled and fixed: https://www.explorerst.org/threads/window-not-working-2022.4193/post-65417
Way too much detail work for me.

Darn, clicking stops but no Up. Time for a little pounding on door areas and windows while playing with the switches! I thought I saw another thread here about a rear side window, but I cannot find it.

Yikes, I tried this, let it sit for 5 minutes then reconnected, everything in the truck is the same but the frunk wouldn't close, so I closed it manually and it latched, now is working again. Still no function on the window rolling up Thank you everyone who has chimed in on this!

Thank you, I've tried everything that was recommended, from holding driver's and rear passenger buttons up, holding driver's and rear passenger buttons down, to disconnecting the battery; I suspect a relay has failed in the 'roll down window' position and I'm afraid that at ~4500 miles it may be time for its first dealer visit. Thanks again.

Since I'm guessing you can't get into the dealer immediately I suggest taking the door panel off and doing whatever you need to do to get the window up. There's almost certainly a YouTube video on how to do this. It's the same as ICE trucks.

I had this happen to both of my rear windows on my 2021 ice f150. Both window motors were replaced under warranty. They failed within two weeks of each other.

Hi there. Can you send us a DM with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into this for you.

I had a similar problem on my driver’s window. After parking while out running errands, the window would not fully open (stopped half way) when I got into the truck. I attempted to close it and got the dreaded bounce-back where the window stopped ~1.5” from the top. I could not get it to fully close no matter what I tried.

I called my dealer….the Service Desk was puzzled, so we made an appointment 5 weeks out….

I got on this forum today….thank goodness….and saw this post. It cued me to do a little more research which yielded this: https://www.wheelsjoint.com/ford-f-150-window-bounce-back-when-closing/

I followed the window reset steps previously posted, and as illustrated in the above web page…worked perfectly!

Now, the question is: Is my issue a symptom of a 12V battery or other issue, or just a gremlin in my system?

Only time will tell…think I’ll keep the appointment for a while to see how the window behaves……

what did you wind up doing??? Mine is doing the same exact thing, clicking in the door unless I hold the switch down. Window won’t go up at all.

Hi, just had this happen yesterday, what a disaster. Relay failed from the sounds of it. Luckily I had enough tools to get the window back up before the rains came.

Calling the dealer in the morning.

This thread makes me think I need to put a really big trash bag or some plastic and tape in the truck and carry with me. This isn't isolated, there have been a few reports of it.
