Window Calibration - Every Time?

[SpacePony]

So...I've had my Mach-E for 3 months now, and this is my first Ford in about 20 years. I have a question about the window operation.

In my previous vehicle, occasionally (maybe every 20th use or so) when you rolled the window up or down, you'd hear the window motor/regulator attempt to "push" the window a bit more at the top, just to make sure that it was staying calibrated for the correct top position. And if it fell OUT of calibration, you could roll it up/down a few times to get it to attempt that extra "push" for calibration at the top again.

In the Mach-E, EVERY SINGLE TIME I roll the window up since the day I bought it (4 months now), it sounds/acts like my previous vehicle's calibration mode. You hear it roll the window up, slow down a bit at the top then strain a bit, then back of JUST slightly. I've attached two videos, one while holding it, the other when using auto/one-touch; it does it in both instances.

On page 105 of the Mach-E user's manual, it references "resetting one-touch close" which sounds like a manual re-calibration. I've tried this, and it doesn't seem to be any different than what happens every time I use the window anyway.

Do other's people's Mach-Es do this? Is it normal for it to do every time, and just something that Fords do?

That's normal, they use soft start and stop now for every cycle.

This is the calibration procedure:

1. Start the engine.

1. Press and hold the window control switch until the door window is fully open.

1. Release the window control switch.

1. Lift and hold the window control switch until the door window is fully closed.

1. Release the window control switch.

1. Lift and hold the window control switch again for at least one second.

1. Press and hold the window control switch until the door window is fully open.

1. Release the window control switch.

1. Lift and hold the window control switch until the window is fully closed.

1. Test for correct window operation by carrying out the one-touch down and one-touch up features.

Uh oh, you lost me at step one! ;-)

(The rest match the page in the Mach-E user manual that I had noted)

I get the exact same situation occasionally but only on drivers side window. I've tried the calibration operation listed in the manual but makes no difference. I'd love to get a solution to this.

that actually only seems to work for the one touch calibration and not for going too far up or down. I have tried this multiple times on the off chance it might sort it.

So what was the final fix?

 

[DYohn]

Huh, I guess I should try the windows and make sure they work... never rolled down any of them.

still haven't sorted it, it's an intermittent thing and I don't want to take it to the dealer, I'll wait until it goes in for 10k service which will be some time off yet.
