I took it to the dealer yesterday and just like everyone else it was the switch in the driver's door.

My back right window went down and won’t come back up. I dropped it off to the dealer today. Let’s see what they say.

For a $50 part warranty or not I would probably just replace the switch myself to avoid messing with dealer.

My driver's window went out last month. Dealership replaced under warranty while in for an oil change.

So when we have items like this can we include not only year, but actual build date?
Ford Admin pops his head in here every once in awhile but not sure he really does anything.
Maybe we could narrow down via build dates.
I roll both my rear windows down every morning for the dog when I go to get coffee. No probs yet on my July 28th, 2022 truck.

Hi Tony. Can you send us a DM with your VIN and dealership info? I can look into this for you.

I had the back passenger window get stuck down this past weekend. Tapped the window down button to crack window, let go, and the window proceeded to roll all the way down and then would not come back up. I was 4.5 hours from home in TX in August, so the ride back was unpleasant!

Found this thread, that pointed me toward the driver's side switch panel, thanks all!. Called the dealer and they told me I'd need to drop my truck off and let it sit with window down for 3-4 weeks before they'd get to it, no thanks Covert Ford!
I took my door panel off, which wasn't too bad, but I don't think you even have to do that to get to the switch. You can use a plastic pry tool to remove the entire switch bezel on the driver's door.
Once you get the bezel out, remove 3 T10 screws and you have a switch assembly.
You can then remove the bottom of the switch housing by prying on the perimeter press tabs.
The problem with my unit was in the housing screwed to the printed circuit board (PCB). This housing contains tracks where your switch buttons actuate metal contacts that touch the PCB. Remove the two small phillips screws and the housing comes off.
If you then pop the two white housings apart, you might see something like this (look at misaligned white plastic "finger")
The issue with my switch seemed to be interference with the bent/warped plastic finger and the adjacent finger/metal contact.
I ended up doing two things that resulted in my ability to raise the window. I'll qualify this by saying it isn't a long term fix, and you might be able to get away with just #2!
1) placed a small folded paper between the gold contacts and the black clamp that holds them in place. This put a little more pressure "up" on the white plastic fingers
2) placed another small folded piece of paper between the white plastic finger that was angled to the right in the picture, and it's neighbor. This was intended to keep it centered on its corresponding metal contact.
<didn't get a picture of this, but it was a small piece of paper I managed to wedge in there>
Reassembled, and was able to raise the window while I wait on my replacement part! Hopefully this helps someone get their window back up!

That seems like way more complicated design than it should be.

There needs to be a clapping emoji option not just a thumbs up... but Kudos to you for rolling up your sleeves and pinpointing a possible resolution...

So everyone just needs to buy a spare door switch to keep in the glovebox.

And an exhaust heat exchanger tube.
And a couple of rear Axle bolts.
Then we can't be stopped!

So far the only thing I've seen that would be an issue with my truck is the axle recall and this stupid designed window switch.
Might be cheaper for me to source the window motor connector so I can easily apply 12v to raise it. Lol
