2003 Pt Cruiser with center dash power (4) window control switch.
Hello all, I'm having some real problems with my power windows. I seem to have more trouble with the passenger side power window than the others. At first I thought it may have been the heat causing the switch to overheat and "shut down", but after waiting up all night and trying it again, it still doesn't work. Cleaning the switch with condensed air didn't help either. After some online research, I replaced the switch, which was pretty expensive and I still have the problem. Both switches won't roll up the window and both will make noise when pressed. I looked in my repair manual, and while it says to check the fuse, I wasn't able to find the corresponding fuse under the dash or under the hood. So I pulled them all, and all of them are in good working order. My problem: The window seems to roll down fine, but when you push the button up the switch makes a funny noise and the window doesn't move. It's really sporadic and just works when it want's to. It's been two days since it moved. When the passenger window doesn't work and the button makes noise, it will also affect all other windows...making the same sound no matter which button is pressed. I'd hate to take it to my local dealership, they have a horrible service record and everyone that's been there seems to have their own horror story. Where could I find the fuse? The repair manual doesn't list the location, neither does the fuse box cap under the dash or under the hood. Any ideas on what this could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! |

Welcome to the forum.
If you had a fuse problem, I don't think you'd be hearing any noise. There is a module in the center of the dash behind the air vents but usually when it starts to fail you have problems with key fobs and door locks. I Googled your problem and came up with two answers. One one to replace the switch itself, which you already did, and the other was a trip to the dealer for a computer flash. Not sure why that help but apparently the computer has something to do with the window controls. |

Thanks guys, I've been lurking the forum for awhile now I just haven't had the time to chat.
I'm not sure what Key fobs are, but my (used) model didn't come with power locks. It's a really strange problem, it's so sporadic it's driving me nuts. I got a call from the wife and she finally got the window to go up, but an inch still remains open. ![]() I was also thinking about buying a computer code reader, I see they run from $50-$100 which is probably the amount the dealership would charge anyway. I'm not sure if it would even tell me anything useful. Anybody know the exact location of the power window fuse on an 03? Me & my PT reside in Fresno, Ca |

TALKING GOAT Well I'm seem to be having the same problem. I didn't actually looks to see when this was posted, so who knows if you even still have the car. But I have been researching for about 4 hours now and on more than one occasion I have found this solution 2001 PT Cruiser - blower and power windows stopped - FixYa The one about the wires. I am going to try it tomorrow and I'll let you know the results. If you have found a solution other than this one, please let me know. Thank you. Nicole.

If you've replaced the switches and they are getting power, then you need to pull the door panel and see if the motor is getting power. |
