I’m posting the following as it may be of use to those of us who have older diesel ‘s – my 1999 2.5 TD Voyager owned 7 years has had poor COLD starting problems for a while ( last 3 years), eventually it was struggling to start when still warm, it had a new battery six months ago, fitted new glow plugs which you would have thought would alleviate poor starting, in fact - it then failed to start at all, two fully charged batteries and a jump starter and it still refused to start, prompted a rethink, then looked at the all the relays and fuses in the fuse box, all LOOKED ok BUT the CONNECTIONS appeared a little dirty, cleaned ALL connections with sandpaper, SPRAYED WD40 into the connectors on the fuse box and hey presto started first time, run sweetly, in fact we are having a very cold spell presently, and she still starts first time every time, hope this information may be of use.
Chrysler electric door fix – I found that the window would not wind up or down (at times) removed door panel , took top of electric motor off, close examination of the brushes were worn out, now I failed to find replacements any where, even at model shops, advised to buy a new motor. FIX, if you examine the brush carefully you will see that the wire runs out of the top of the brush, when the brush wears ITS UNABLE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THE ARMATURE, stopping the motor working, gently take a rounded end soldering iron and melt the plastic away where it makes contact with the wire, be careful not to melt all the plastic away, this will enable the brush to make contact and restore function to the window, mine has been running for a year now without any problems
