I have a 97 Taurus and when it gets hot outside the window won’t go up. At night when it cools of it will start working. It is the driver window that I have problems with. Is there anyway to reset this window? Can’t take the car anywhere, don’t like leaving it parked with the window down. I did have the motor replaced on this window two years ago. Thanks for any advice given. ---

It’s probably not the motor. The heat is not enough to cause an electronic part to fail intermittently. You masy have a switch problem. Try taking the window switches out of the door and cleaning the contacts. If that doesn’t help or you can’t clean them, replace the switch set. I just bought one for my 1988 Regal for $65 on line - new and in the carton. ---

Thanks for your help. It was the switch and I did replace it.
