05 dodge grand caravan sliding driver side door will not open manually

I just replaced the door lock actuator and the door opens fine with remote and automatic opener buttons located in the van - will not open from interior or exterior using manual door openers - I have tried the child safety lock in both positions.

SOURCE: dodge caravan sliding door hard to open/close by hand

i'd suggest you just grease the channel top and bottom where the arm slides to hold the door as it's sliding open or closed

SOURCE: 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan side door does not automatically close.

sounds like the door sensor switch is malfunctioning and when almost closed it reacts like it is blocked (such and kid in way) and opens for safety. try flushing trach with hose and try again, if not u need a good repair manual such as chiltons($25 most parts stores ) or see mechanic

SOURCE: 2006 dodge Grand Caravan power door wont open automatically, makes clicking sound.

These automatic side doors are extremely complicated and require a trained technician to repair wit the factory repair guides to go by, there are many adjustments to be made and sometimes that is all they need plus some cleaning and lubrication of the latch and moving parts. My best advice is let the dealer fix this.

Why won't the driver side manual slider door open?

The rod from the handles to the lock mechanism could have come off or become bent to the point that it won't work the latch anymore. The prior problems were probably just symptoms of the problem you have now. Will have to take the door panel off and manually trip the latch.

Sounds like the locking mechanism is worn out and needs to be replaced any mechanic in you're local area should replace it rather cheaply.

Sliding door lock

If you check the doorlock actuator it is more than likely bad. On my caravan I had to replace actuators on both sliders. Cannot get correct actuators at autoparts stores. Either go to a salvage yard or to the dealer to get them.
