Hello!

I own a 2002 Dodge Caravan Sport with a 3.3L engine and automatic transmission.

My power windows have stopped working. I am trying to find information on possible causes, but all I can find is garbage about people hating Dodge.

The passenger side would go down, and rarely come up. The driver's side has never worked that I can recall. The passenger side is now stuck down about 1/4 way and winter is approaching..

Anyway, are there any sort of strange modules or anything like that, that would cause this? Or am I pretty safe to suspect that it's something to do with the regulator / window motor? Just trying to cover my bases and replace the correct part the first time. Don't have much experience wrenching on these vans besides little things like valve cover gaskets and spark plugs.

Thanks in advance,
Pete

 

Bump...

 

Probably better than a 90% chance that the window motor is your issue. Most of the time, you can remove the door panel and then while actuating the window switch, tap on the motor with a hammer and it will start working. Then you know for sure that is your problem.

 

Thanks! Will give that a try, going to look at it finally this afternoon! Just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything in the circuit that I should keep in mind when checking things out.

 

this should help you trace the current

if the motors are good the CB may be the culprit, if there beomes too much load on the motors the CB will break and no flow to window

 

Awesome!!!!! Didn't get a chance to look at it Saturday, G/f pulled out the g/f card and did Halloween stuff all day Sunday, but this diagram will be a MASSIVE help! Thank you very much!!!!

 

i have a 2003 and the same thing just happened to me>the driver stopped working,but the passenger still works.i took it appart(the door)and the switches are different.the pass(gray),and driver(blk),and the harnesses only fit to color.(sxt model).THANX FOR THE DIAGRAM,IT WILL HELP!!

 

99.9% it is the window regulator. They can be had on ebay for cheap. I think the last one I purchased was $29. Here is one for $27

id have to agree with login, the CB is there to do its job protecting the circuit and could do what your describing, but I've never had one fail yet
regulator motors and switches i see pooched all the time

if you suspect the switch may be to blame get out your multimeter and check continuity as the tables direct heres the test procedure for the switches

Check the switches too, sometimes they get rained on n stuff and can fail

 

Not sure i need to create a new thread since there is a lot on this issue already.

I am about to order and replace the regulator/motor on both sides. Driver side is stuck up and passenger is half way down. (2002)

All info I can gather says windows must be down before the door panel comes off, is this true?

If so how to get the windows down?

Thanks
