2004 Town and Country passenger window

I am working on a 2004 minivan with 25000 miles.   Quite a while ago,
the window on the passenger's side became intermittent.   Shortly
after it became intermittent, it stopped working completely.   I
looked in the owner's manual and it says the fuses and relays for the
windows are under the dash near the steering column.

Has anyone had to go into this stuff?   I am just wondering which
thing they are talking about under the dash.   Maybe I missed
something, but I don't think anything is marked "windows" that I could
see.    I haven't had the door panel off yet.. seems like every time I
have an opportunity, it's about to rain.

I unplugged and re-plugged the connectors behind the fender.   Didn't
see any corrosion in there and it didn't change the operation of the
window.    The power mirror on that side still works properly as does
the power lock switch.

The window regulator is bad. A common problem with Chrysler regulators.
Replace the assembly

I had this problem on my 2001 GC on the drivers window, and it was the
window switch. George

would like to think that would be the problem, but it doesn't work
from either switch and no current drain on the system at all when
either switch is actuated.

the regulator isn't that expensive after all, so I will just go ahead
get one and slap it in there in the near future...

On a lot of Chrysler vehicles, the power for the passenger windows feeds
thru contacts (for those windows) in the drivers switch panel to the
switch in the passenger door.  So a problem in the driver's switch panel
can prevent a passenger window from working from *either* switch (i.e.,
the switch for that window in the driver's panel *and* the switch in the
passenger door) simultaneously.  I know it's that way on the LH cars -
wouldn't be surprised if the T&C wasn't the same basic design (and with
similarly failure-prone driver panel switches).

I've noticed that the window controls "seem" to be mounted on a piece
of the door panel that "looks" like it should pop out without yanking
off the whole door panel.   Am I correct in this assumption, or should
I just go ahead and take the whole thing off the door to access the
winder switches?

I'm assuming this is not something usually covered by the warranty,
correct?

3/36 unless you have a service contract

Drat!   I'm sure that's going to be a pricey part.. at least I will
save on the labor.

So, does the regulator include the motor, or is that separate?
