Your power windows stopped working in your 1996 Aerostar how do you fix it?

Here are some steps you can follow to troubleshoot and potentially fix the power windows in your 1996 Aerostar:

1. Check the fuses:

- Open the fuse box, which is usually located under the dashboard on the driver's side.

- Refer to your vehicle's owner's manual to identify the fuse that is responsible for the power windows.

- Check if the fuse is blown. If it is, replace it with a new fuse of the same amperage.

2. Inspect the wiring:

- Look for any loose connections, damaged wires, or corrosion in the wiring that leads to the power window switches and motors.

- Check the wiring harness that goes from the door to the body of the vehicle for any breaks or damage.

3. Test the switches:

- Press the power window switches to see if they are functioning correctly.

- Use a multimeter to test the switches for continuity. If a switch is faulty, replace it.

4. Check the window motors:

- Try to roll the windows up and down manually using the manual crank. If they move freely, the motors may be the issue.

- Use a multimeter to test the window motors for continuity. If a motor is faulty, replace it.

5. Reset the window module (if equipped):

Some Aerostar models have a window control module that can be reset to resolve power window issues. Consult your vehicle's repair manual for the location and reset procedure of the window module.

If the problem persists after performing these checks and repairs, it is recommended to seek assistance from a qualified auto technician or mechanic who can diagnose and fix the issue accurately.
