Power window problem (on my Dodge) February 25, 2013, 03:26:03 PM My driver side window in my 99 Dodge Van started acting up last weekend and I am not sure where to start on fixing it. It rolls up and down but makes crunching sounds and gets caught about halfway when rolling it up. If I lower it a bit then go back up it goes up. I have left it up for the last week but it is a huge pain to not roll it down because I live on base and have to show my ID to the guards several times a day.It uses a cable type system that I am not familiar with and I have read that some conversion companies (mine is a Regency conversion) used different power window setups because they bought the vans with manual windows, so I am not even sure this is a Dodge factory setup. Any help is appreciated!Here is a video showing the issue I am having.http://youtu.be/YcdereMYMbM Quote Selected
Power window problem (on my Dodge) Reply #1 – February 25, 2013, 08:04:30 PM It sounds like the cables in the window regulator are coming off the wheel and starting to bind up where the window motor attaches. Reminds me of the Ford regulator issues that I have done over the years. One other thing my Church van (Dodge) had the same thing go wrong with it last year(factory p/w), it got stuck on us during a trip, had to force it back up. I then had to cut the cables to replace the assembly. Funny thing about that was I couldn't get the regulator with out a motor, but I could get just the motor if I needed it. I called my parts buddy and had him look aftermarket and no one seemed to be able to get an aftermarket regulator. Quote Selected
