It is disappointing that I'm not receiving any solution to my Grand voyager problem that I posted on 2/25/05. The window I'm talking about is the left rear side windows that swing outward. It is electronically controlled. I'm beginning to hate American cars.

power vent malfunction (Post #1)
The power vent window of my 1997 Plymouth grand voyager won't open. Please help, I don't know if its the fuse or motor or something else. Any help will be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Find the plug to the Motor ass. and meter it while some one is pressing on the switch. If you got 12 volts, you have a bad motor.
You may have to pull a panel off to find the plug. I dont have my haynes book to see.

Connector going back to vent window on a 2001 is in the drivers door. I don't know if that will help you or not?

This is probably too late to help you, but I wanted to pass on the information anyway.
I replaced the drivers side rear vent motor last weekend and it was pretty easy.
1. remove bottom trim - snaps
2. remove top trim - snaps
3. remove side trim covering vent motor. snaps + 3 screws
4. unplug connector - two wire - direction is controlled by polarity from front door switch. I had tested before and knew was getting voltage at this connector, so I bought new motor from dealer, about $70/
5. replace motor. two bolts. actuator assembly sides off motor so don't need to do anything to window.

If you have 12 volts at the motor and still no work, be sure the ground for the motor is good before you spend$$$ for the motor.

I imagine this would be the same for the passenger side vent, that's the one that doesn't work for me. About how much $ did you spend on the motor?

About $70 from my local Dodge dealer. I did a web search first, but could not find the vent motor.
Passenger side should be no different. I recommend you remove the trim and check the voltage at the connector first. You should find 12V between the two pins that have wires going to them, and the polarity reverses as you move the switch to open or close. If you don't see the voltages then you probably have a bad switch.

It's the motor, you can feel it trying to open, but it just can't. I don't use the vents enough for $70

If you can feel the motor trying to open the window, then it might be working and you may have a bind in the linkage?
