Both front power windows won't work

All,
I have a 95 Explorer XLT 4 door, 140,000 miles. The other day I put
both front power windows down and now they won't come up. The back
ones work fine from the switches on the Drivers door. I check trouble
codes and got 543 and 111. I took the driver side door panel off and
when I press the switch, I get 12 volts at the connector to the window
motor. Anyone have any ideas about this? I at least need a way to
manually get the windows up. It's kept outside. Thanks.
Jay

Broken wires in the bellows between the door and the A pillar.... but what
the **** do I know?

Damn Jim; it's good to see you post again , ya grouchy "ol" cuss. Plus you
are right on target with the "bellows" I had the same problem on my
99,Limited, before I traded it last month! I found that an Xacto knife does
a clean job and can be repaired without much problem after you splice the
wire (s). I traded for a 2006 Limited (again), so hopefully won't be posting
again :>))

Stay Kool, Guy.

Just wanted to update and end the thread. I didn't have the time to
diagnose and fix it myself because I was going away. So it was taken
to the dealer while I was away. Their diagnosis was two bad motors.

I've been a tech for more years than most of you guys have been "none
virgins". That diagnosis smells so ****ing bad....

Did you ask for your old parts back?

It was probably the nylon rollers in the gears and they just replace
the whole motor. Does anyone know why they put those nylon rollers
in there? They don't roll. They don't do anything. They could just
fill the whole space where the rollers are with more plastic and call
it good. What's the purpose of using the non-rolling rollers?
