Driver's Power Window Won't Go Down on a '96 XLT Ranger

RED C5 · May 16, 2013

The drivers window is stuck in the up position. There is no voltage from the motor connect cable to the motor
The passenger widow and all other accessories work. I can hear the one touch replay clicking when the down
button is pushed, but that's it.
Where are the "One Touch Down Module" and the "GEM" located?
What does the GEM do?
Can the window be rewired to bypass the one touch features, like the passenger side.

Thanks for any help here.

Check the fuse for it, one of mine blew and I couldn't roll down my windows.

My '94 drivers window did that once, turned out to be an adjustment to the window track was loose and window went up too far.
I applied 12v and ground to motor(one way is up the other down) and widow came down, then readjusted track.
I also didn't show power at the motor but never found out why, once window was down a bit I connect the switch wire and it worked again.

There is also a chance a wire in the rubber boot between door and kick panel has rubbed through or broke, that is a common issue on all cars and trucks, and of course the drivers door since that gets used the most.
Ground wires are a big deal for window motors since they are used to reverse direction of the motor.
