My drivers side rear window is stuck, it wont roll down, i cant figure out why, i know its not a fuse, because both rear windows are on the same fuse, and the one on the passengers side works still.
Any ideas? |

Have you done any work to the car immediately before it stopped working?
I had this problem once when I was installing some speakers and I unplugged the window switches. |

Motor died. Buy a new one, they're easy to replace.

That's because the brushes, or coil (depending on the motor) are starting to develop bad spots. When it lands on a bad spot, it won't start up again until the heating or cooling of the components happens, and it can create an electrical connection again. It'll gradually start getting worse over time. Better to fix it now while it's still nice outside.

I had a friend's F150 w/ the same symptoms. Awhile later the brushes went out. I would replace the motor now.

Very common on mustangs. I had an older vert and replaced two motors on it in two years.

i have a Ford and my drivers side window did the same thing.
turns out all it needed was a little rain, and it went right back up. next time it happens try pouring some water or similar lubricant down in there. sometimes if the window gets too dry the motor cant fight the friction of the rubber on its own. |

Water is not the best thing to be pouring into your window mechanism. You should be able to tell if the motor is running but the window isn't moving. Then you can lube the track (which is almost always plastic and metal) after taking off the interior panel and visually inspecting the problem.
