How do I remove the door panel to gain access to malfunctioning power window on drivers side on 2002 chrysler town and country van

most of the time window switch goes bad. you can try remove switch from door panel still connected try working switch wigging wires move the switch if window goes up more likely switch is bad.the contacts in the switch lose contact wear out cause window not to work.

you will need to remove the door panel the connection goes down about 10 inches from mirror,

I am assuming you mean the drivers side window? Pull the door panel, then take a meter and find out if the switch is getting power, if switch is getting power your window motor is bad and needs to be replaced.

you need to buy or make a clip removal tool. it looks like a sturdy 2 prong fork to pry off the plastic clips.this id whats holding the interior panel and some screws holding the door opener

Take off whatever screws you can find. I believe there are 2 or 3 along the botttom, 1 in the pull cup and there may be another one somewhere around the switches. Then stick a flatblade screwdriver up into the bottom between the plastic and sheet metal and pry outwards. Feel around for a plastic clip and try to pry right next to it if you can to avoid breaking the panel. Once you've got the bottom loose, just reach in there and pull the whole thing away from the door. There's gonna be a few electrical connectors and a rod that goes to the interior release handle. Don't forget to hook that thing back up when you put it back together. Those plastic clips go all the way around the door and you're gonna break a few of them. Don't sweat it though. They only cost a couple of bucks a piece and generally don't need ALL of them anyway.

On the inside trim, you can remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls. Then you can access the bolts that secure the mirror onto the door

2006 chrysler town and country passenger side window suddenly stopped working.
other windows work, sliding doors work as does rear hatchback.
fuses seem to be good.
might there be a safety switch that somehow got pushed that keeps the passenger window from opening?

You'll need to remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. If needed, you can pull back the weather seal (can't reuse it, but it's not that important) and you will be able to access everything inside the door

I have had the same issues with both power windows. The issue is the window gets stuck in the up position usually because of holding the up button too long. In all cases I have taken the door panel off loosened the window motor screws which takes the pressure off the internal gear drive of the motor, put it all back together and it works until someone holds the button too long again. I have done this 4 times and each time it fixed the problem. I guarantee the dealers know of this problem and I suspect that they fix it the same way and tell you that they changed the drive motor.

Did you try inserting the key in the drivers side door and locking and unlocking it manually several times to reset the alarm system. This was the problem with my 1996 Chrysler Town & Country LXI
