Default Slider issues 03 grand caravan

I have a 03 grand caravan sport it has a power passenger slider and manual driver side slider. Having a couple issues here the driver side quit locking and unla\ocking automatically it has to be done manual im thinking the actuator is bad. Is it difficult to change? the other issue it the passenger side power slider quit working from the button on the b pillar it works fine from the keypad and overhead display. Is this a common problem and the button is bad or is it more than just a button? Thanks

Welcome to DF

The door panel needs to be removed to gain access to the actuator on the driver side. and on the other door,check the wire track and the wires going to the B-pillar. Also check the button on the overhead console to make sure the button hasn't been put in the lock position.

The button in the over head works. I didn't know that it could be locked. So if it is locked the over head button will still work and the bpillar button will not?am I understanding this correctly? if I am how do I unlock it?

Found the issue with the bpillar button didnt know about the on off switch. The wife always has the van on the move so I never look at it until something is wrong or its dirty. Thanks for the help.

You are far from the only one. Chrysler should have painted that thing florescent orange.
