Passenger Window Roll-up Slow/Stuttering

[scruvs]

I expect others, like me, may be within sight of the expiration of the 36k warranty. I'm beginning to scrutinize everything that I've noticed with my truck and decide which issues I can live with and which issues I can't.

I wanted to share an issue that I had with the Passenger Window rolling up slow and sometimes stuttering as it came up. It was an issue from day 1. Most of the time, It was hard for me to know if it was just my imagination. I mentioned it to my dealership at my first service. They took the door panel apart and learned that necessary lube was never installed at the factory. Applied lube and the window has been working great since.

I wanted to post this because I hadn't seen this issue elsewhere in the forum, so hopefully it was just my truck. And for those first 10k miles, I didn't know if it was a motor issue, my imagination, or something else. I also thought the dealership might tell me it's operating properly. I'm glad they removed the door panel and discovered the missing lube.

Hope this helps if you're experiencing something similar.

I also had a similar issue. My dealer noted that there was an SSM (52074) on the issue. So in addition to applying the missing lube they reprogrammed the PDM and performed the initialization procedure. SSM linked below.

I have this on my drivers side window and assume it is the same fix. Will ask my dealer the next time I take the truck in for service.

I used to have that issue with my 2001 Ranger now and then after my son left the passenger window open a crack and it rained one night.

After a while it dried out and worked fine.

One time after the truck sat for a long time unused, the 12v battery was low and the window wouldn't respond until the battery gained some charge from the running engine.

The Lightning's have had a fair number of problems with the LV battery getting low, and if it got low enough, things like the window motors might hesitate or fail. Motors ask for more current to start so a weak battery might not be able to provide it.
