Default 2003 Dodge Caravan Tempermental Window

The driver window on my Caravan sometimes works for months. Then all of a sudden it decides that it is tired of working and just stops. It always stops all the way up.

Sometimes, if you play with the switch enough, it will work again. But lately, not so much.

1. Could this be the switch?
2. For the life of me i cant figure out how to get the door panel off. Does the little panel the switches are in pop out? It sure does not seem to.

Thanks for the help.

Welcome to DF
You would to remove the door panel and ck power and ground at the window motor.If you have power and a good ground,then i would say the regulator is bad.
