Driver side window doesn't work...

Hey everyone,


So i'm driving thru the Throgs Neck Toll and suddenly realized my driver side window doesn't seem to wind down. I had to open my door to pay the guy. ( A bit embarrasing to see the window not working on an 8. Lol. I went to the autopart store on my break just now and purchased the green and blue fuses (15 & 30) and replaced them however the window still doesn't work.

Can anyone figure out what seems to be the problem? Would appreciate any ideas. Thank you.

a friend of mine had the same problem on his mazda mx-6 years ago. in his case it turned out the cable mechanism & wiring for the power window came loose and got all tangled up inside the door somehow. (wonderful ford workmanship.) if u are mechanically inclined, u might want to take apart the door and check what's wrong. otherwise, have the dealer look at it. it could be as simple as a bad motor.
