Default 2003 D/C auto-down window switch

It did not come with the auto-down feature. Is that located within the window switch on Chrysler products? If so can I just change out the switch to a different model?. Van is an "SE"
Thanks

Do you mean, when pushing a button on the remote the windows come down. Or the window switch(master) on the drivers door. In either case,they go thru a window module or the FCM/body module.

No, most window switches have a "detent" or a step portion on the switch. It seams like my 2000 SE had this feature

Most vans do have the auto window down, on the master switch. You can try a known switch from another van and try it. Or buy one and hope it works.

Maybe someone replaced the switch with the wrong one? When I bought the van the drivers window was intermittent, I changed the regulator and fixed the problem. The switch housing has some small marks from someone trying to pry it off the panel, so that is probably what happened.

It has this type of switch that I can find no replacement for with the auto-down feature? (Pictured is the right side, but the left is exactly like it, with the off set tab on the other side)
It looks like there is a different panel for different switches. Dodge does some weird stuff!
