Verify that it is 100% correct. Did the sensor switch that attaches to the frame get re-attached properly?

Where is the sensor switch? I assume so because the top works with the old motor

It is on the drivers side framing. Once you remove the panel you should see it.

im lost. i put 3 differnt new motors in and window works good but top wont go up. i put old motor in and top works but window sticks. i dont know what else to try. i even tried pulling the fuse while window is moving

Scan the sjb forscan for top or window related codes. You might be able to also see live data.
Somewhat of a guess, never worked on a vert.

Ugh i dont have that

So get it. For diagnostics its free, you dont need the license. Just need the Vlinker adapter,~$30 and a laptop pc.

Does it work on a tablet

If its windows, it should. If it does not have usb port, you would have to go BT dongle. I have both Vlinkers, usb&bt. Both work great for diagnostics. I only program with the usb.

Don't know what year your car is (05?), but on mine (2014), the rear window motors send a 'full down' signal to the body control module as part of the top lowering procedure.

Check the wiring diagram for the car. You can jump the pins to simulate 'full down' from the window motor if your car needs it.

its a 06 gt. i got the top up by putting the old motor in. just dosent work with a new motor

 

[05 vert]

i scanned it with no codes

still trying to figure this out. cardone says its a original ford part they rebuild. do you think it could be a front motor. and wouldnt have the sensor
