Change the Window Regulator on a 2012 Chrysler Town & Country - INCLUDES REASSEMBLY
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 лют 2020
- If your window won't roll up or down, but it seems like the motor is working, it might be your window regulator. This video covers disassembly of the door panel, replacement of the part, and reassembly of the door, as well as the reset procedure for the regulator. (This is an intermediate level project.)
This video involves the following part:
Dorman 749-508 Front Driver Side Window Regulator

Just completed this same job today, using your video as a guide. For anyone interested, if you don't mind working in tight spaces, you do not have to remove the two bars discussed that are holding the black panel to the door frame. You can slide the new regulator in behind the panel and hold it in place while securing it with bolts. This cut quite a bit of time off the job!
This is why I search the comments after I watch a how to video! Always someone who has done it better. Thank you so much for sharing and because I didn’t have to remove the bars this job took me 2 hour to complete to the average 3-4 hours people are reporting. Thank you again!
6:03 These bars?
Correct!
Hey there lady. I just picked up this part at Auto Zone. Your video is about to save me $600 at the dealership. Thanks!
Thank you for this video I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to get the panel off exactly where you were having an issue, so you explaining it helped SO MUCH
Great job ! Ran across your UA-cam channel, and being an auto mechanic since the 70's, I got interested. Very impressive and I know this because just last week had to replace the door latch in a 2016 Charger... very same process. Your tip about the pics... perfect, I've been doing that for years since the digital cameras and phones came out, I have a pretty good library of them. Oh one more thing, had to look at our labor guide we use.. and it pays 1.1 hours to replace regulator, but think of the hours of fun you had.. I think they call it Priceless!!! Again enjoyed it and you did a great job
Thanks for the positive feedback!
You are an AMAZING Instructor!
…I support you 1000%!!
Thanks so much. I especially benefitted from the amazing camera shots of the door handle rods/clips at 6:15 in the video. When reassembling, the clarity of that photography allowed me to understand exactly what I need to do in placing the rods and pivoting the clips, so it wasn't too bad. I also benefitted from watching you release the glass from the old regulator clips. Seeing how it worked in your video gave me the confidence needed to press hard enough with a small screwdriver, and low and behold, it worked. My wife did have to push down on the main body of the plastic piece on the left side one while I pushed with the screwdriver - but the right side one released just with the small screwdriver push. Great video !
Thank you for an actual full video explaining things thoroughly! Most vids I've found for fixing things say take part off then skip to things disassembled without showing it being taken apart or back together and it's so annoying!
Thank you for the kind words! I figure it doesn't really help people if you don't actually show them how to do it. Editing all that together can be painstaking for sure, but it's worth it.
Now try doing this 9 hours away from home in a hotel parking lot like I did last night (With a cheap tool box from Walmart). I ended up taping the window in place and removing the regulator. I'll fix it when I get home. Thanks for the video. It helped tremendously.
Subbed 👍 you rock, thanks. What a life saver, my wife's T&C driver window dropped to the bottom of the well. Your video aided me in getting in propped back up in time for a rain storm ❤️
So glad it helped!
Thank you for the video I just order the regulator so hopefully I will be able to do this in a few days.
This video was helpful to me in filling gaps in what information other videos had.
You left me hanging on the part where you actually got the entire panel off. The rest was very helpful.
I have used this video twice now a year apart. First on the driver side now on the passenger. Thanks!!!!!
awesome video! and I love the music! being a skanerd myself..love it! Im going to try this on my van this week..
Wow, nice tutorial! I'm a handy guy but I've never done one of these, and your great vid now has me informed to the point that I'm now ready to tackle the job. Thanks so much, and also love your girl-next-door personality. Very informative and also fun to watch!
OK you prove that anyone can be able to do this! All it takes is time and a little bit of patience. Excellent, excellent video and thank you for taking the time to show this non-automotive person to do this and save myself $600 for the dealer or a body shop to do this.. Excellent!
Thanks for watching and for the nice comment. Best of luck!
Brilliant instruction! Thank you so much! ☺️😉😊🙂😀
THanks for the video. This just happened to me today. Going to have to replace mine. Starting tomorrow.
I just fixed a friend's window in the parking lot thanks to you! Many thanks!
Glad to be of service!
Thanks for the help.You are super cool + SKA music....yes. I spent most of the video trying to read you shirt.
Thanks for watching, and I'm glad it helped! The shirt's available in the merch section, and also on Amazon 😁
Great job thanks to you and the big guns lovely couple
I fixed my regulator successfully thanks to this video 🥰
I'm so glad it helped! And thank you for leaving a nice comment! Merry Christmas!
Outstanding job .. you helped up alot ty
Congratulations. Very careful and detailed explanation. Thank you so much
THanks for watching!
@@ChickFixUSA i did a quick subscription because not everyone make so detailed and helpful explanation. God bless you guys.
@@williamrosaleshernandez4174 thanks for the sub!
Thank you so much for the COMPLETE walk through. Like you said, all the other ones stopped at a critical point. Again thanks for finishing. You guys kick ass!!! 😃
And thank YOU for sticking with it until the end!
Thank you for your video. Is more easy with you
my wife says a nylon spatula works on the panel prying without scratching the paint.
You are a rock star! Thank you!
Great video. I got hung up a bit with reinstalling the wiring harness by the door lock on, but otherwise very helpful.
You go girrl! Best video on the tube....
thank you so much for this!
You're welcome!
mini van rocks!
We recently bought a 2015 Dodge Caravan from a Dealer. They included at no additional charge, a 3 month, 4000 mile, Bumper to Bumper warranty. The Drivers Window regulator went out a few weeks later. They replaced it but the technician didn't know about the reset procedure, so we picked up the van with the window not operating correctly with the understanding that they would have to send it to a Dodge dealer for them to finish fixing it. I checked a few replacement videos and none showed the reset procedure but I kept looking and finally found it on Google. Turns out it was a standard procedure to reset most cars with Auto power window switches. Fixed it in 10 seconds. I've replaced 5 regulators in other vehicles but never had to reset any. I printed out the procedure and went back to the dealer to let them know I had fixed the problem. Their tech had worked on it after replacing the regulator for another 2 hours before giving up. I guess the tech doesn't know about Google!
That just went out on my van today. I still need to get the auto working.
You, my dear, are such a badass. And as always, my Shero! There are a lot of things you teach us that I know I can accomplish. This one makes me want to drink. You are super impressive. How long did it actually take you to do?
Ha! It made me want to drink too. In total, probably 5-6 hours, but that's because filming makes everything take twice as long. It's probably a 2-3 hour job. Theoretically, it should be straightforward, but there's always little hiccups that you get stuck on
Also, there are definitely moments where you need another person. Not the whole time, but at certain moments where you just need two people. Apparently other car doors aren't as complicated as mine.
Oh my God the bloopers at the end are hilarious
2012 Chrysler Town and Country. Replaced window regulator on passenger side but the reset will not work. It keeps going back to a set position. Any suggestions?
Humbly appreciated 😄
Thank you for watching and commenting! I hope it's helpful
Thanks
Well mine broke yesterday also. Same sound, same thing. I was going to try to fix it myself. But...... after all these videos, nah, too much for me. what a mess, Thanks for the warning lol
Hey, no problem! This *was* actually kind of a tough one, and there's no shame in hiring a pro. There's a reason they do what they do.
Excellent you guys rock I see a bike in the background and I bet somebody's a musician ☆ i passed on it I was probably going to break every Fastener that's in it? that's usually what happens I subbed that out. I'd rather work on the engine haha !
Great Video!!! One thing, could you do a tutorial on how to get the exterior door handle bars back in? that took me more than an hour to figure out.
That's intentional... They don't want people fixing this themselves. The reason you had trouble is you probably needed a special TOOL only their mechanics own. I had the exact same handle issue with a 1999 Voyager van on fixing the same window issue.
thanks this video was really helpful. Pain in the @$$ to do though!
Huge help. Gave my son and I the courage to disassemble this. Was the part unrepairable? In our case it seems like the cable slid out. Just wondering... not sure if I need the new part of can affect a repair. Would love to hear how yours failed.
Ohh... nvmd. I see how it failed. Really good job doing this vid.
Thanks for the comment, I'm glad it helped! Yeah online, one of the cords on the pulley snapped. There really wasn't a way to repair it short of restringing it, which would have been precarious.
"Bastard" under your breath...🤣🤣🤣
About how long did this project take?
Easier way to do it unless it's different I got a 2011 Town and Country and I didn't have to remove that black panel I just opened it up loosen the bolts that was holding the regulator open up the motor and those things fell out and I replace it on top without removing you open it enough to get the old ones in and out but you don't have to take apart the whole black door panel
On 2012 you have to take off that panel. Yours is obviously different, and yes much easier. ChickFix is much harder. Reminds me never to buy this model.
No need to grease the new regulator's tracks...?
Wow. Is really hard to made. I take the decision SALE my mini van. 😣
I don’t know, how you put back the glass to the regulator. I didn’t see.
yah thats the part she left out.. putting the glass back in
So that second rod further back what direction does it unclip
Don’t want to break anything
Yes they do both unclip, so be careful
The window in my daughters van is all the way down. Not sure how that’s going to work out when I go to fix it. No videos show the window all the way down so hopefully won’t be too bad to figure out.
Carefully pull it up yourself. Then find a scrap of wood to hold it up. Measure, cut and prop. This will secure the window from thieves and weather. After that, work to sell the POS as fast as you can. The entire truck is about to fall apart.
I hope your husband gives you all the caulk you want. Auto repairs impressive
Why did you remove the door latch screws ?
I think I removed them before realizing I didn't really have to. Just didn't mention it in the video.
how do you know how to fix all them things? i am youtubing you, are you youtubing other people? hahahaha definite subscribed.
Yeah, I UA-cam too! I typically don't know how to fix things until I'm faced with them, at which point I make the "let's figure this out together" video. Thanks for subscribing!
My husband thought it was the window that we need to buy but no it’s not that it’s the regulator
Hii everyone
I am from india I just repair this power window regulator. In $3 Don't need to change
my favorite part is where she asks her husband for help
My favorite is when people say "she" as if I'm not a real person who's going to read the comments on her videos.
