Ford Explorer: Faulty power windows

You most likely need the window motor replaced. They have plastic gears that
wear out with time. I have had to replace both front windows on my '93.

Can you hear the motor running in the rear window?
If so, the gears may be shot.

For the front, it would seem that the switch may be faulty. This can
be checked with a voltmeter.

replace "g" with "a"

Window motors don't turn when I press the switch so I don't suspect gears to
be the problem. On the front window, the switch rocking works with both the
passenger door switch and the driver door switch which controls the
passenger door, so I don't suspect the switch to be the culprit either
(unless both switches are faulty). It is almost as if the window is jammed
or stuck in the up position and a little jostling unlodges it. That is what
led me to consideration that the channels may need lubrication. Any
thoughts?

If the motor is 'jostling' the window, it would be working, and you
should be able to hear some indication of this.
Lacking this, I'd get a voltmeter and check the switches.

No need to speculate about window channel lubrication - spray them
with silicone spray every few months as this will keep the windows
operating more smootly.
