power window passenger side not working
In my 2002 Dodge Caravan power window stay in closed position, I cannot open it. Passenger side window working OK. Haynes manual - schematic shows separeted fuses for each window as located in junction box under instrument panel. I was not able to find this box and fix problem. May be this manual is not correct. Any help apreciated, thanks.

RE: power window passenger side not working
Just replaced both regulators for my 97 GC. Around 160$ ea special order from Autozone. You willend up wanting to pull the door panel to check voltages through the switch ifthe problem is not immediately obvious. Odds are the cables are snarled inside the regulator if the window does not want to lower (I've never been able to repair this kind of damage). When the cables or connectors break the window typically drops to the bottom of the rails(If the cable has ripped out of a guide you may be able to repair it) These repairs are not cheap at the dealer or the auto glass places. I approached the repair as a two part process. One afternoon of investigation and one of repair after repair parts had been procured. It was a pain, but you can do it with some patience - I'm no genius.

RE: power windows not working
All caravans have window regulator problems. dodge tech has it right, take the door panel off and hit the window motor and hold the button down. It don't get any easy than that. If the motor starts working leave it up until you can replace it. And you try prying switches out you could end up replacing a door panel too.

RE: power windows not working
Most of these problems are with the motor and not the regulator. The motor can be replaced without the regulator, but they are a bit pricey. You can find them for about $45 new, or go to a junkyard. Usually the brushes are dirty or worn out. I just opened up my door and pulled the motor housing off the motor/regulator assembly and sprayed it out with brake cleaner--a lot of carbon from worn brushes came out and it now works great. I do think that in the long run I'll need a "new" junk yard motor for $10 out here in AZ.
