Did you check to see if the switch is getting power? Tester ---

all of the other windows work,and both outside mirors work. when i try to put the driver window down i hear a clicking noise like a relay trying to work.and when i try to put the window down it would work when it wanted to.until it got stuck halfway,and i put power to the motor with the plug unattached the window went up with no problem. ---

Is it an auto-down window? ---

The problem might be in the driver’s door module then. If you replace this module, you will have to reprogram your remotes and your keypad code(s). ---

i called my local ford dealer and asked them about a door module and they said they only list a relay.they also said to check power at the window motor.they also said that they’re could be a broken wire in the door harness. ---

I don’t know, maybe yours does the auto function in the GEM instead of a door module. You’ll have to trace the wiring from the switch to the motor. ---

…even Ford makes the occasional mistake. You know they don’t manufactur the Windstar anymore, right? ---

the plug going to the driver side motor has 11.4v to it.the switch is getting power with my tester,the pink wire and the blue wire with a black stripe have constant power.the clicking noise i here is coming from the front electronic module i think. the module has four plugs going to it above the brake pedal.
