Power window problems with my 2000 ford ranger?

I have a 2000 ford ranger xlt with power windows. I downloaded a wiring schematic and got to work checking things out. I found the 20 amp power distribution fuse blow and replaced it and still no good. So, I pulled off the door handle and panel and checked the power wire (blue wire with black strip)… It was hot on both the master switch and the passenger side switch… Now here is the head scratcher. I tested the wires going into the window motor…2 wires. When I pushed the button for up or down, both wires were hot… Why? Is it the switch bad? It should be 1 hot and the other one ground and vise versa for down… Not both hot. Also, since the window motors can be hot wired with a crude battery jumper wire and ground wire, then I know the window motors are good. So, Is it the switches? It almost has to be right? Also, both wires on the window motor are dead until a button is pushed… That means it is in the switch.right?

Also, complete separate question… The catalytic convertor has been cut open and rewelded… If the guts were stripped out of it, would that make the bank 2 upstream O2 sensor read haywire? The code is p1151… It would wouldn't it? If so, can I bypass this problem somehow, or do I have to replace the cat?

Hi so what about the window winding motors as they have been doing this job now for 14 years and they wear out just like any other mechanical motors.

@ Bears face: Read his description again. It's not the window motor…

  • Power windows and power door locks not working on my ford ranger? I have a 2000 ford ranger lte and the power windows, door locks, and power mirrors are not working… Where is the fuse? Are they all on the same fuse? What do you think I need to check?
  • 2001 Ford Ranger window problems? I have a 2001 Ford Ranger and the drivers side window will not let down but there's a sound coming from the dash, but the passengers side window works fine. What could be wrong with this?
  • 2000 Ford ranger won't start, but still has power? It has a brand new battery, battery cables, ignition switch, starter, and starter relay. Yet when I get in it has power enough that everything comes on, but if I turn the key once, the entire truck goes dead. I can reset the battery, and the process will begin again. I don't have anymore ideas.
  • 2000 ford ranger window rolls down but not up? I have a 2000 ford ranger recently my passenger window stopped rolling up with either the drivers or passengers switch. It rolls down and the drivers window works fine. I took off the door panel and ran the motor straight to the battery and it rolled up and down fine. I thought maybe the switch but the switch for it on the drivers side doesn't work either but works for drivers window. I'm confused… Anyone got answers?
