Want detailed steps to fix electric car window.

Sarah, March 2009

Could be the motor that drives the window up and down but more likely to be the lifting gear - often wire cables, pulley wheels and brackets - the wire is the weak link and sometimes breaks.

Need to access the mechanism by removing inner door panel - take off grab handle and any screws underneath. Remove screws from bottom of inner trim panel - will have to crouch down low to see them and lift trim panel off door.

You should now be able to see some of the mechanism - on some cars it's hidden behing a metal plate that needs to be unscrewed.

The Ford Futura is a large car made by Ford Australia between 1962 and 2008. Although the last Futura was part of the BF Series Ford Falcon range it was badged and marketed as the 'Ford Futura' rather than as the 'Ford Falcon Futura'. Ford Australia first used the Futura name on the Ford Falcon Futura which was introduced in 1962 as the new luxury sedan in the Falcon XL Series range. The name was dropped from the XR Falcon range of 1966 and re-introduced in the XW range of 1969. It was discontinued again for the XC Series of 1976 and re-appeared in the ED range of 1993. The name was used continuously by Ford Australia from that time until the replacement of the BF Series Ford Futura by the FG Series Ford G6 in 2008.
