#31 of 411 Chrysler Town and Country window replacement advice needed by birdi

Nov 27, 2006 (12:10 am)

Vandals broke the glass of our left rear side window, the large vent window with the motorized opener. We hope to find a replacement at a pick apart yard. I would like to know the degree of difficulty this job is for a do it yourselfer. What tools am I going to be needing for removal and replacement?
 
thanks, Robin

Pardon me for not saying so, but this is a 1994 Chrysler Town and Country. I am wondering if the rear/side windows are interchangable with Caravan or Voyager windows? Which years? Our van has motorized window openers, but I'm not sure about the Dodge and Plymouth models. If we can replace the window ourselves it will save us a lot of expense. I've seen dodge/plymouth/chrysler vans in the salvage yards, I just need to know if our project is do-able. thanks

#33 of 411 Power Locks won't work by ssbourke

My power locks have gone out both with the inside switch and the remote key. I looked through the owner's manual and the fuse box and do not see anything that says "power locks" Any idea if it could be coded as something different?

Dealership says there is a "bulletin" on the computer that says that this needs to be brought in and reset the body computer

I just purchased a 2002 Chrysler Town & Country that needed a new battery, after replacing the battery the key alarm that locks/unlocks, sliding left and right and back doors will not work any more. Does anyone know that programming codes to reconfigure the key to the van...?
 
Thanks for all the help

Did anyone find the fix other than the dealer replacing the door latch for about $300? I have the exact same problem with my right side power sliding door and the liftgate.

I have a 2002 T&C Lxi and my driver side sliding door and liftgate do the same. It "pops" open but will not slide open. If the sliding door fails so will the liftgate. If the door opens automatically then the liftgate will open automatically. I think the fix is in that latch. There is a site that shows how to fix it yourself if you buy the latch. here is the site , link title
 
I wish we could get a definite answer though from someone this this issue. Someone has to know, sounds pretty common.

I also have this problem. There is a TSB which addresses these exact symptoms which only involves reprogramming the "obstacle detection" sensitivity. I am going to try this first as my dealer says it should be less than $100 to do. I'll let you know if it works.
 
The TSB no. is 23-004-03.

I have an 01 T&C as well and my right side power sliding doors does not open or close in close weather. Being here in Florida as soon as the weather warms up, it works fine.
I have been to Chrysler dealer and engineer says it is a faulty mechanism. Since it works in warm weather, it is not worth spending $300 on in my opinion. Talking about TSB's does anyone know if this is related to any of the other problem discussed here.

#40 of 411 01 TC Van - sliding door won't latch by flagal

Feb 18, 2007 (6:59 pm)

I experienced something new with my van. I've read through the posts and none are exactly like this (although I've got a door that doesn't always work too).
 
Anyway, driver side slider. Today it opened and now won't
"latch". The van thinks it's closed since I'm not getting a 'door open' message.
 
It will only open (electronically) a few inches, then stop. hit the button again, it moves a few more inches. hit the button again, etc.
 
Closing, it moves the whole way, but when it gets to the stop, it 'hits' and doesn't totaly latch/close.
 
I can move the door manually, but still it 'hits' and won't latch/close.
 
Any ideas? where do I start!!
