2002 Grand Caravan, drivers window works great for 2 to 3 days, then just stops working at all, then a couple of days later works just fine again. Doesnt seem to matter the weather, what accessories are on, can stop mid-trip, or start or stop working while has been parked. Any thoughts? Thanks, Oldslowguy

 

Not uncommon. The fix is usually a new window regulator assembly ($50-$120) which includes the motor. Sure wouldn't hurt to verify the switch contacts and the motor connection are good. A very temp fix is to hold the switch up or down and slam the door at the same time. It will usually come to life.

 

Thank you very much for the reply. The "temp fix" works , at least so far. Whre do you suggest I purchase the parts, dealer or ? Thanks again!

 

as the vans an 02 id suggest a chineese rgulator (can be sourced at auto parts store)
the dealer will want an arm and a leg for 1

 

Save a bundle and go aftermarket. I've changed 7 or 8 of these all with aftermarket sources. I did have a problem with one that lasted 8 months but that's not the trend. Bought one locally and the others off the net. I used A1Auto and Rockauto for a few. Some have reported good luck with EBay. They are the cheapest source I've seen at around $25. Someone got one for $16 recently.
