Changed steering column in 1998 ford explorer now windows wont roll down or door lock works or dome light whats next? its not the motor

Hello. It seems your Ford has a faulty master switch in the door panels (for the windows), a faulty door jamb switches (for the dome light), a malfunctioning multifunction switch (for the turn signal/windshield wipers). Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

remove bulb from dome light and replace fuse i think its number 26

I believe it is 96 to 99 on these. If you got outside these years, then yes. You have a problem. It can be rewired, but you need schematics for both years.

Clean the pin switches by the door jams, They are dirty or broken,

your column eather shot or check your linkige from your column to tranney

the window transmission is busted... someone tried to roll the window down while frozen shut by ice... or roll up with something in the way maybe?
replace the window motor/transmission (one single unit).

Hi Guest,
I had this problem as well, and found the fix is actually quite easy. My issue was with the door sensor on the drivers door, but it could be any of the door sensors I imagine. The way I checked was by rolling down all the windows and closing all the doors and locking with the remote, engaging the alarm. Next, open each door individually through the rolled down window; if the alarm sounds then the door sensor is working.
To fix:
First you need to turn off your vehicle. Next, below and to the left of the steering column is a small storage compartment. Open this up and press the sides together, the door should come out. Remove the storage compartment door and reach inside to the left, where you will find the sensor that tells your car if the door is open or closed. Remove the sensor and inside you'll find three pins which have either accumulated grease and grime or have shifted out of position. Clean them off or reposition them so that you have a solid connection and press in the button to check that your lights go off (should take 20 seconds). If the light goes out (make sure you have your dome light positioned to "door") then your problem should be fixed.
Hoped this helps you and others!

window relay module probably went bad. theres a window relay under the dash you have power . try getting a wiring diagram mabey at an auto parts store or the library. so you can trace the problem down . short of taking the doors apart and checking the motors that drive the windows . Old fix with the old school cars bang on the doors from the inside with fist . it sometimes works the connections on the old school cars . Its stupid but it worked to get the window up .

next to the head light switch there is a roller switch. roll it down one click tell me what happens. sorry if you already tried this. good luck.
