Had the same prob. myself. Got two switches from a junkyard...they were just that, junk. Ford dealer had the part for $15.

I have an original '80-86 rear window switch, but it's far from "perfect" condition. I think it works, but there's no telling for how long. That's why I replaced it with a '92-96 switch, which is MUCH more reliable and works the same way (electrically).


I still don't think there's anything wrong with the switches in your t/g.

Then why does the switch let the window go down but not up?:shrug

I've read too many threads on too many BBSs to recall exactly what your symptoms were, but I remember thinking it was all in the dash. Besides; tailgate switches NEVER go bad... :toothless
