^ you can jump it at the switch in the drivers door. just remove said switch use a probe to find power then jump hot to cold. easy as pie, no wiring diagram needed. if it works then the switch is bad. if there is no power getting to the switch you know what direction to start looking.

i thought this was about a 1/4 window not operating.

now i cant put my top down and its pissin me off

I dont see why he cant drop the drop and deal with the problem when he gets back? Its pefectly fine to drive with the top down and both rear windows up fully... just drop the front big ones and you wont look weird.

it's against the convertible code. The fashion police will pull you over within seconds and write you up. They'll let sprinklers and retarded smokers go by as an excuse but down several blocks like that? No! Why today a freak cold front came through. Since it's a big deal for me to put my top up and down I left it with the heater. Passed another mustang vert with his windows up. Everyon knows what an idiot he is. Just takes him one traffic light to put it up, does he do it?

I've had to replace 4 window motors, and one window regulator. The only time Ive suffered with having one window up, it was only up an inch so that I could pull it up to help it along. This is why I also think it's either a switch or wiring. A bad motor rolls slowly until it no longer rolls at all. If the regulator was bad it would roll up and down spasticlly. If it doesn't roll at all, then the window fell out of it's frame. Also everytime I had a bad motor or regulator you could still hear it trying, so power was still getting to it.

Replacing the rear 1/4 is the worst as you have to remove both parts of the rear seat and then the panel just to get access.

If you knew what you were doing, had a wiring diagram. You could make jumper wires and see if it works without the switch.

If its cold and i want my top down then i let the windows up just keep the chill/wind from hitting the side of my face. I only have it down to hear the exhaust =]

If its cold, and I want my top down, I cry.
If its raining, and I want my top down, I cry.

I cant always have my way, so I'll just hafta suffer

I have my top down 70% of the time during the whole year, maybe more. Convertible mustangs differ from coupe because not only do the tops go down, but so do all the windows. Ford (and others) would not have gone through the trouble, if there was no need to. You think rear passengers love having the top down?

People leave the windows up for these reasons:

1) window doesnt work
2) top doesnt close, and its cold/raining
3) cant hear/be heard on the phone
4) cant understand the concept of a hat, scarf, scrunchie.

If Im cold, I blast the heater. If its cold enough that the heaters not enough I'll either pull over and put the top up, or just suffer the few extra minutes I have to travel. Its freezing at work, so Im usually already dressed for such an occassion.

Those that complain about the wind shouldnt get a convertible. Either get a mustang with a sunroof, or a mustang with that glass roof... ...but if I find your windows down after the fact, theres going to be some eyes rolling. A girl at work told me about this other employee who also owns a red mustang convertible. She comments on how she didnt understand why he got that car as he hates the wind (and after woorking there for almost 3 years, I havent ever seen the top down) I told her that maybe he got the car because chicks dig red mustang vers, and that he didnt get it for himself, he got it for them.

I one saw a mustang vert with the top down. The front windows were rolled down, but the rear were up. It was odd that both were up as he had no passengers, and the car was new enough to not have both window motors broken. Its kinda hard to forget to do something like that. But wind cancellation was out, trapping heater/ac was out, on cell phone was out. I had no idea why he did that. Maybe being a stock mustang that was all he could do to stand out.

Besides, if its such a big deal, this can help:
