Driver Side Window Issue, Please Help!

Same issue with my 2024 Wildtrack. They had a service bulletin on the issue and had to reprogram it.

Do not panic! This is normal.

Your window switch is two-stage. It has a soft click detent to auto-roll the window up. When you are doing the window re-learn procedure, you can't use the second click auto function - or the window reaches the top and rolls right back down. It's very easy to make this mistake.

Do the procedure again, but when you roll up, slowly pull the switch one click so that you are manually rolling it up. If you pull the switch all the way, you just enabled auto-roll up.

Unfortunately, I am manually rolling the window up. Still bounces back down. Any other ideas?

Try the relearn procedure with the door open. Does it automatically return down when there is nothing restricting it?

If not, check the rubber gaskets around the window for debris. Run your finger through it and make sure none of it curled under or caught. Then try the procedure again.

Also, make sure the engine is running while you do the relearn procedure. Certain modules don't get power when accessories are on but the ignition is off. I'm not 100% sure if the window relearn procedure needs the ignition running, but that has made a difference for me in the past.

Still goes down when the door is open. I ran my finger through it, still does not work. Engine is running the entire time I’ve done any attempts at fixing it. Going in Monday morning early. If you have any other ideas, please share! I have also tried when just pressing the power button without the brake.

Weird my passenger front did that a few times one day, but I was able to roll it up after it rolled down. I realized it only happened when I used the global down feature. Maybe worth a shot but go out to the Bronco and hit the unlock button on the fob then push it again and hold it. All the windows should roll down at once. Start the bronco then roll the windows up one at a time, not using the auto up feature. If the driver goes down automatically then try rolling it up again. Might be a long shot but easy enough to try it. Good luck.

It might very well need a software update. My bag of tricks is all used up.

Unlocked the car, pressed it. All windows went down. Check! Rolled up each window one by one, saving the driver side for the last. Good, good, good… not good. If I close the window, manually holding it, it’ll go back down. If I roll it up in increments I’ll get lucky some of the time. But, it doesn’t do its little thing where it goes down a little when you open the door and go back up into the suction. I have been getting out of my car through the passenger side lol. So, I have learned a new feature with my key fob lol! Thank you for all of your help, I appreciate it. If you find any other solutions please let me know!

Did you remote start it? After the global down try remote start then push the start button on the dash and try that. Maybe …


Also try sticking you tongue out just a little when you do it.

Disconnect the battery, wait a minute, and then reconnect it? Perhaps it is time for a hard reboot? @Ford Motor Company may be able to provide further assistance.

What I've noticed on my rear driver side window is that the window itself feels like it's moving off its track. if you look at it from the outside, it's not flush. It's as if the window panel on the inside of the door is loose, rattled away over time (2021 Outer Banks 4D).
I too am about to bring it to the dealer since I have an extended warranty.

This is what I remember, and have tried, and it has worked for the same problem you have.
The Fix:
Follow these instructions perfectly!

Manually roll the window up without hitting the second click, once you get near the top, keep clicking until it stops moving. (Don’t hit second click during this process.)
Now hold the up button in the second click for 5 seconds.
Release.
Now manually roll the window down without hitting the second click, do the same as the up procedure.
When you manually get to the bottom, and the window won’t go down anymore, hold the second click down window for 5 seconds.
Then auto the window up and it should stop.
This is how you retrain your modules in your Bronco for the window!!!

Did you notice beforehand upon opening your door that the window wouldn't come down a smidge before going back up upon closing the door?

Yes!
The window would pop out of place without going down a smidge!

It happened to me twice during the winter months!

If this doesn’t work, I might have it backwards!
But I believe this was the order I did it in.
It might be down first then up for the 5 seconds both ways.
Do it the way I first explained!
