Your answer seems like the best, most logical and informative one for my window issues. I was about to buy a whole regulator assembly, or motor. But I will attempt your procedure first.
 
When you say you crimped yours in a vise, Do you mean you bypassed the fuse altogether? I'm all for that, I doubt the door motor is going to be starting any fires.

Rear Vent Window(s) Not Working by pdmini

Is there anyway to manually operate the rear vent windows of a T&C minivan that are powered. Own 2000 T&C that son has at college and not willing to fix $$$ motor(s) but would still like the air flow. Van is a daily driver for son with extreme high mileage. Any imaginitive suggestions would be appreciated.
 
Thanks

I don't know if this is possible or not, but could you or your son replace the motor assembly with the hand levers that came standard on the base model Caravans and T&C's in that year? Maybe find some parts in a junk yard and see if they can be made to work.

Driver's Side Sliding Door Power Lock Not Working by devdogaz

I have a 2005 Town & Country. The power door locks all work fine except for the driver's side sliding door. Problem is, when you manually lock the door, then you can't open the power slider with the key because it remains locked. Wouldn't be a big deal, but wife is pregnant and with a new baby, she's not going to want to put the baby down to unlock that door by hand.
 
I'm guessing there's not an individual fuse for each door, so it's likely something else. Any suggestions of what to try before I take it in and have to pay to get it fixed?

I have the same problem (but on the passenger side). I took it in to the dealership--and they told me it was the motor and would cost about $450 (if I remember correctly--maybe it was $650). It's so frustrating because it went RIGHT after the warranty expired. We've kind of adjusted to only using the driver's side door. I don't want to pay that much, and I'm totally sceptical everytime I go to the dealership.
 
Does each door have its own motor? I can't believe one door would stop working but the other still works absolutely fine.

2008 Town & Country doors, air cond, seats by moosetnt

Have a 2008 Town&Country Limited. Problems from the start. Air conditioner not cooling properly, sliding doors rattle, don't close properly at times, rear power seat fails constantly, Uconnect resets, NAV system looses my data. Just picked it up from service. They flashed the computers with updates. Checked the air conditioner for trouble codes (none reported). Doors still rattle as bad as ever, back seat still does not recline properly and the air conditioner blows cold then warm air (cycles). When the vehicle was brand new I had none of these problems. All started at about 1,000 miles. I now have 10,0000 miles. Will be going back to the dealer again next week for another shot. If problems persist I'll give them one more shot. Then on to a lemon law attorney.

I have exactly, exactly the same issue but on the driver's side. Opens fine, when you press either button to close it seems like it moves a half inch (in the wrong direction) clicks and stops. Must be closed by hand. It's like it doesn't know that it was open all the way, so instead of closing it tries to open (but it's already open). Did you get this resolved??

I have a 09 Caravan it seams to be making the same noise that you are talking about i was woundering if they ever resolved it. i have taken mine back and all four times they dont hear anything. get it home then go back out latter and there it is. I have also had the rear AC stop working some controll modual on order for that issue. I am also having another problem at start up where once i start the van i have no power to anything no horn, lights, power windows, locks, radio, road side flashers, no lights or gauges in the dash, which they says never does it while in the shop did it three times in a row this morning just wanted to see if you ever got your noise figured out

Hello jbrowning1. No they have never resolved the issue with the noise and it still does it. It is very frustrating. I also have a problem with the (plastic key thingy) getting stuck and I have to turn the van back on and place it in park again..sometimes 2 or 3 times before I can turn the key into the lock position to take the key out. As for the noise.. i've taken it about 5 times.. but they keep and "open ticket" on it. I guess this prevents them from dealing with lemon law issues. I don't know what else to do but I can't keep taking it in for 2 or 3 days at a time and they end up (Not hearing the noise) I even went as far as recording it with my digital camera. When I get time I'll take it back in and make the mechanic listen to what I recorded, maybe you should do the same. Thanks.. and good luck ( I should of paid the extra for the chrysler town n country)
