06 Caravan Passenger Side Sliding Door Lock Repair
I have an '06 Caravan SXT. The power sliding doors were deactivated when I bought it.
Recently the passenger side sliding door lock actuator has stopped working when the buttons are hit. I notice the lock itself feels tough to pull up or push down compared to the other locks.
I'm fairly familiar with removing the interior door panels on the front b/c of a couple of window regulator replacements, but I'm wondering, how do I remove the panel on the sliding door?
Can it be done from inside the car working with the door closed, or...?

Yes. I did that myself. Here's a nice little video I found that will guide you through it.
On my 2007, the only deviation from the video was that I needed to drill a couple small holes through part of the inner door frame to be able to access the actuator screws with a screwdriver. In addition, use a magnetized screwdriver and be sure to magnetize it beforehand.
