• Q: How to Initialize the Front Door Power Window Motor on 2004 Ford Freestar?

  A: A driver must first check the front door window system for any possible obstacles before initiating the motor's operation. A motor that does not initialize after being disconnected requires an initialization procedure following every motor exchange or removal and replacement of any regulator or glass components and whenever any lubricants or greases touch the window mechanism. Installation and tightening of the window glass and regulator and motor and glass top run must reach specifications before starting the procedure. The motor stays in a non-initialized state when initialization procedures are not fully done which enables proportional up/down functions but disables one-touch up functions while leaving one-touch down functions potentially operational. Use a thirty-second period for tasks one through six while maintaining key position ON status from step six up to procedure conclusion. Open the front door while keeping the ignition key in OFF and turn the key to ON position before starting. Illuminate the front AUTO position on the window control switch six times before shutting off the key while leaving the door open. Pressing the control switch to AUTO six times should be followed by turning the key to ON while closing the door and the window glass will perform an up-down-up-down cycle which indicates the system has entered initialization mode. To enable one-touch down operation the control switch should be activated for a short period to the DOWN position before the glass reaches the bottom stop. Press the switch to UP position and keep it there until the window reaches the glass top run then release the switch to initiate a glass movement up-down-up-down sequence that amounts to 20 mm (0.8 in) for initialization confirmation. Testing the complete function operation involves verifying one-touch down and one-touch up performance as well as proportional down and proportional up operations.
