Default F150 power window?
I have a 2005 F150 which has power windows and I am having issues with driver side. I rolled the window down but when I was going back up it stopped and when you push button it dims inside lights like motor is in a bind, all other windows work and switch for this one had power but seems like something is binding.... anyone delt with this?

Regulator is bound up. Go to AutoZone or O'Reilly auto parts. Most likely you will have to get a motor and regulator. Also, you'll need a drill to get the 1/4" rivets out.

Motor is likely fine unless the gear is stripped but, most of the time, you can't buy the regulator by itself although, you can often buy the motor alone... I don't get it either.

If ya go to a shop, you're looking at $200-250. Ya go buy it yourself, its gonna be anywhere from $85-125 but, it'll take you a couple of hours or more if you aren't familiar with changing them.

That, my friend, is Murphy's Law at its finest! If I die and have the chance to meet the dude, I'm gonna whoop him because, he's all the time screwing me out of my plans!

Paid 300 for mine 2 years ago. All went out with in 2 weeks if each other.
They just went out; gears stripped and the whole assembly that hold the glass up broke... Resulting in the glass also breaking.
Yea.... That was some$$$$
Had to replace both front and 1 rear.....

That would suck, if it weren't the driver window it would stay broke till I sold truck but its hard to function with it not working...... I need 2yrs of minimal repairs so I can buy a new truck and this ain't a good start

Does it sound like it is binding or just dimming lights?The reason I ask is because I drive a '07 and my whole door panel on the driver side would not work when the door was open. Turned out to be a broken wire in the wire harness between the door and cab.

Mine was an 05 also

And the light dimming issue was on my truck too
If I hit the windows, side mirror controls , blinker , locks etc my interior lights would dim.
Never figured that out.
Btw I ran a red top optima battery; so there was plenty of power.

My mother n law had an 05 explorer that had identical issues.
And on the f150 forum there are loads of similar issues with 05 models.

The lights dim when there is too much of a load on the window motor. If you were to continue to hold it, it would blow a fuse. It's kind of like, in an older home, sometimes when the ac unit kicks on, the lights dim a little bit.

That's not a great price but for dealer job I can handle that, Bolton Ford has been pretty good to me

cant buy the motor and reg separate. comes all together and at O Reillys it ran me about $135 or something close. took about 30min to change out and there is no rivets you have to drill out. very simple to do. the hardest part was getting the panel off and thats not hard.
