 Ranger Power WIndow Problem
I have a 1990 Ford Ranger with Power Windows.



Today when I went to raise the driver's side window it would not go up. I
heard a clicking sound as if something was slipping or not engaging.



If I grabbed the window with one hand while holding the window in the up
position I could pull the window up.



I tried it again; the window goes down fine but makes a clicking noise when
I try to raise it.



One other thing that I mentioned. If I lower the window down about 70 % of
the way and then remove my finger from the button the windows slowly slides
down another inch or so.



I removed the door panel and am looking around but can't see much I might
need a mirror in there to look around.



Any ideas?



I guess the motor is fine, maybe the regulator or the window lift gear?



Thanks

Could be some teeth worn off the regulator. Usually it's the teeth are
partly worn on the motor or the plastic drive gear worn. Somtimes all
are bad.
