2001 Twn&Cntry Windows (Both) Work Intermittently!!

Hi All,



My 2001 Town and Counrty Mini Van recently started having intermittent window problems. This sometimes only affects the driver side, sometimes only the passenger side, sometimes both!. We typically roll down a window 1/4 or 1/2 the way, then, for now apparent reason, it won't go up. No motor sounds, nothing. The switches appear dead. Sometimes the driverside will do this. It won't go up, we try the passenger side, it won't go down. After a few days, they both work fine. Or sometimes slamming the door makes it work, one time I grasped the window out of pure exasperation and pulled and pushed and then it worked. Othertimes, none of this helps. It's like the beast has a mind of its own. All the fuses are okay, (never blown.) We have never rolled the windows all the way down when this happens, so it hasn't been too bad this winter when they stop working and its only a couple inches down. What is causing this?


George:

Similiar problem in wife's 98 LE. Passenger side window would not go down for weeks from either front seat. Finally stumbled upon fix, but I do not know how permanent it is.

First move switch to opposite position you want window to move, then move switch to desired window position. I suspect my problem was corrosion or dirt in driver's side switch which obviously also affected passenger side switch.

Pls reply to the group and let us know if this helps..
