Dodge Caravan Window problem

We have a 99 dodge caravan sport and the passanger side window has
started to die. when you push the button to roll it up it is very
slow. Sometimes it will not even move and you have to wait a while
before it will move again. I am sure the replacement cost will be high
(for the switch) or is there a simpler way to fix it like a fuse? (if
we would be so lucky)
any help would be greatly appreicated!


thanks,
ChinaCat

Might be just a matter of lubricating the linkages and adjusting the
window tracks. Not going to be a fuse; if a fuse blows, the all the
windows will quit completely.

Probably NOT the switch, I just replaced the entire ass'y at a cost of
$167 for the part only. Try the lube on the tracks first. The window is
raised and lowered by use of a cable and pulley system and is sold as a
complete unit (motor cables and tracks) and is really pretty easy to
replace. Hardest part for me was getting the inner plastic door liner to
glue back on (messy)

I need to replace the front, passenger side, window assembly. I had to do
that a few times with my first Caravan. I cannot figure out how to take
off the inside door panel. Please HELP!
