Just pony up the $130 for a new harness and take the 20 minutes to replace it. It will work fine after that...

I don't see anything physical wrong with the harness at all... It's just some wires and connectors. I think either the connectors just need cleaning or something just needs to be "reset".

The doors have their own controllers. You would need a scanner the can read the other modules,not just the pcm.

Is this the connector type plug under the dash on the driver's side?

My local Chrysler dealer wanted $185 for the wiring harness. I found it online from a site called chryslerpartscenter.com for $104 plus shipping. It came in 3 days.

Here is how i found out and solved my problem last week with the sliding doors not continuing to open. I went to this web cite and say utube video.

I went to my 06 van and did what he said and it worked. I spliced in a wire about 5 inches. If it didn't work then i could have just pulled out the wire, about 24 inches and spliced in a new one in its place,because maybe that section i pulled wasn't the section that was broken. but it was. here is the cite: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=705hcJqOf6U---(i googled in "caravan sliding door". you can do it, go get em.

The passenger door broke twice on my wifes van. The first time it broke, nothing would happen when the buttons were pressed sometimes. Since it was under warranty we brought it in. The dealer we bought it from said they could not replicate the problem. The official diagnosis was "maybe its to cold out for the door to work" Thanks for nothing SMITHHAVEN dodge. SInce it still wouldnt work I brought it to another dealer who actually took the time to find a faulty wiring harness. It woked like a charm for another two years until it happened again, same problem. LEE DODGE fixed it again. So far, so good.

Do you have the sliding door panel off?

Yes the panel is off, I swapped the control boards with the other door and both work so I don't think it is the relay panels in each door.

Can you reach inside the door and try to open it from the rear latch?
