2k Dodge Caravan Rear vent Window Problem
 

I have a 2000 Dodge Grand Caravan with pwr windows. The Driver-side
rear vent window will not open. The passenger side vent operates. Is
there anything I can do before asking a dealer to fix it?

Thanks

Jim

Sounds like the little motor which opens the vent window is failing. Same
thing happened in my 1996 Plymouth Grand Voyager, and I replaced the motor
myself. Very simple, and the motor costs about $75 as I recall.

Dan,
Thanks.

How do I get to the motor? In other words, how do I remove the
plastic pannel?

Thanks

You know, I can't recall exactly, but it wasn't that difficult. Might
have come in from the rear, with the liftgate open, but I just can't
remember. Probably the plastic panels just pry out by lifting up on an
edge. Sorry, wish I could help you more, but just try the obvious things,
as I was able to figure it out without any problems.
