Just a little info, you don't have to be snarky. Maybe someone found it interesting.............and keep your soggy beer.

This has actually been on my todo list for a while. The motors and wiring are different. If you can get a passenger window motor from a Navigator and add all the missing wires I think it should work. I pulled a motor from the junk yard a while ago but haven't had time to figure out the rest of it

Interesting. So the Motor makes the decision? I would have thought it was the switch and Relay involved. Did you compare wiring to come to that conclusion, or see somebody try it? What year do you have?

I have a 17 Expedition. I think the Navigator I pulled the motor from was a 15 (I know it was 15-17 but not sure of the year in that range)
One touch motor has an 8 pin connector. Regular motor has a 2 pin connector.
Comparing the driver and existing passenger side on my Expedition it appears that the one touch motor gets an always hot line from the BCM and the switch just sends up/down commands. Best I can tell the brains are built into the motor assembly

Excellent information! So you would need to flip the switch out for the one above, and the Motor?

Yep. Need new switches for both front doors, new motor, and some new wiring to connect it all together

Would love this feature, especially because currently my one-touch up only works 1/3 of the time. Please post results when someone does it.

One touch up and down? If water gets on those switches from an open window it can ruin them.

Just like any switch. No more risk than the regular switch. I have NEVER had a window switch go bad from getting rain on them.
