Hope helps with this (remember rated) Good luck.

u have a defective electric window motor so no override will work, u must take the door apart and replace the defective electric windowe lift motor.

you need to check the wire harness from the vehicle to the door for broken wires.the harness that goes through the door post and into the door gets a lot of flexing and will eventually break the wires in two.if this is not the case ,you may just need to replace the switch.

Very common they are renown for immobiliser and central locking gremlins. the best advise i or anyone else could give you is dont buy one please save your money. Regards Ben

Below are the removal procedures for your vehicle's front inner door panel.


On models without power windows, remove the snap ring retaining window crank handle. Remove crank handle and cover plate.
Remove lower door frame bracket garnish. Using a screwdriver, remove inside door handle bezel. Remove power mirror control switch and disconnect harness connector.
Remove armrest panel. Remove 6 screws. Pry interior door panel loose from door.

On my 2000 Durango, I found that the plastic cable guides had broken and fallen to the bottom of the door. This allowed the cable to lose tension which basically disconnected the window from the regulator. If you can hear the regulator motor run (power windows) when you press the window switch, then the regulator is good. Remove the door trim panel screws, pull off the door lock handle, pull the trim panel away slightly, and disconnect the plastic retainer from the door latch linkage.Then unlock the wiring connectors and remove them. Now the trim panel can be removed. Peel the plastic seal from the inner door. Now you can see inside the door and figure out what happened. A mechanic's mirror will help. Replacement window regulators are available from a number of sources; the cable and/or guides are a dealer item.

You need power window regulator as the cable of the regulator is out its place ,

1. Remove the gusset cover.
2. Pull up the inner door handle cover toward you to remove the upper hook. Pull down it to remove the lower hook. Remove the inner door handle cover.
3. Remove the power window switch assembly.
4. Using a trim panel remover, remove the clips of the trim panel.
5. Remove the speaker.
6. Using a spatula, remove the door sealer.
7. Remove the outer mirror assembly.
8. Remove the front end of the door weatherstrip and gusset.
9. Remove the stabilizers.
10. Remove the rear end of the door weatherstrip (inner and outer).
11. Operate the power windows switch so the bolts from the regular assembly are visible through the service holes. Remove the mounting nuts.
12. Take out the door glass. CAUTIONDo not turn the regulator in closing direction after removal of the glass. Otherwise gear may be disengaged.
13. Loosen the nuts to remove the rear sash.
14. Disconnect the power window motor wiring harness.
15. Loosen the four bolts and two nuts to pull out the regulator assembly.
16. Remove the screws to remove the motor from the regulator assembly.
17. Installation is the reverse order of removal.

Good luck...
