I had my door lock solenoid fail, but it could be unlocked (and locked) manually and then opened manually.

Is the lock ****/button up?

I had my power lock solenoid fail. Is your lock button/**** up? If not have you tried to manually raise it and then try the door?

Default Actuator issue

The Actuator is jammed in the locked position.

because this was the right sliding door the opening that you would use to unscrew the Torex screw was in the wrong position to unscrew the the actuator. ( it is in the correct position on the left sliding door) I drilled a new hole near where I could see the screw and after several new holes to get it right I was able to access the screw and release the actuator.

I replaced that actuator and all is working now.

NEED HELP PLEASE! My problem with my sliding door isnt the usual wires, etc but the plastic "track" or whatever its called. The wires are fine but at one point one of the hinges must have came loose and the darn kids slammed it in the door. It will open and shut but very carefully becasue now all the plastic tracking is messed up. Does someone know what this part is called, where to get it, how much and how to replace? ANY info is GREATLY appreciated!!!

You're best off looking in a junk yard if you just want the plastic chain (and, if I'm not mistaking you'll end up having to splice wires to get the old chain off and put the new-to-you chain on). I don't think the chain is sold apart from the harness and new the assembly is around $400.

Just checked eBay- there are a few of the harnesses on there for under $150. Might be your best bet.

So I took our 2004 GC to the local mechanic to check the passenger power door (no longer works at all - doesn't 'partially close' - no response at all).

He said the 'body control module' was not communicating with the 'door control module' and he couldn't fix it.

Does that sound like a wire break ($135 harness) or something more serious?

Hi all. I too have a Dodge Grand Caravan with a sliding door issue. I replaced the harness (works well), and the lock actuator (works well), but the door still will not engage. It opens and closes, but it will not close all the way - it will not "suck into place" like the other side does. What do I need to do to fix this issue?

Thanks!

Default 2004 caravan sliding door

I have a 2004 Dodge caravan xlt (I think that is the latters) and the passenger sliding door won't open or shut without using your hand. We replaced wiring harness, door roller brackets, door locks. What else should I check and where are they located? Thank you
