Thoughts on My Windows

[CSKoz]

So, another silly question. I have noticed my windows go down a bit when I open the door and back up when I close the door. What happens if the window motor goes bad? Has it happened to anyone? Or if the battery is so dead in the car that there is no power? Just a couple things I wondered about. Thanks!

If the battery dies you need to open the door very carefully and I suggest not closing it till the new battery is in. It happened to me and I almost slammed my hand in the door trying to catch it because I got careless and nearly slammed the door closed

^^^Guess that answers that question

 

[CSKoz]

Yup, thanks for the info. You know, I up late drinking and thinking about the car, and got thinking about the windows and had to ask it.

It is a neat system, but I figured Ford would have a way around it. Guess just be careful. Thanks!

YEA if the battery is disconnected... LOL You cringe when you shut the door!

 

[CSKoz]

Yeah I can just see it now, slam, crack! Oops... lol

[CSKoz]

Yup. Good to be prepared.

I guess you haven't had the car thru a winter yet ?
Wait till you have a nice frost or some ice around the window!
All I can say is be carefull , because it is a challenge to first get
in the car and warm it up.

I plan on not having the car through a winter. I will wait until pretty late, but it stays all snug and warmish in the barn, so no salt or ice. I have a chevy van I drive in the snow. Sounds like a good decision, even more so after that warning. Thanks!

lets not talk about winter guys....thats just a depressing thought knowing that my car will be put away soon

 

[CSKoz]

Don't talk about what? My memory is kinda spotty...
