2008 Dodge Grand Caravan side door does not automatically close.

Door opens automatically using FOB buttons. When trying to close with FOB, door begins to slide to close position but when within several inches of closing it reverses to the full open position. This occurs only with passenger side rear door. Driver side rear door operates ok with FOB. No problem closing either door manually.

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

2008 Dodge Grand Caravan door lock button won't work on driver's side?

Question edited to add maker.
Question moved to model category.

The problem here is the wiring harness where it travels from the door into the door frame. Constant opening and closing of the driver's door bends the wires back and forth until they work harden and snap. This issue ONLY happens on the driver door.

Once you get inside there, you can check with a multimeter and replace that wire.

2013 Dodge Caravan side doors will open and close using the key fob but will not close pushing the button on the door frame. any idea why

More than likely if other functions work with the key fob either the key Fob is defective or the system needs to be reprogrammed.

'06 Dodge Grand Caravan passenger side power sliding door problem.

Test the door by manually opening and closing it and seeing how it feels. If it's hanging up at some point it could be something in the track or just may need the rollers Lube

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.

Owen, Try this Get in close doors, don't lock them. Put key in, cycle the key on & off 4 times. Ending in the off position. After the 4th time & within 10 seconds, press the lock switch on the drivers door. If you here a chime, they are reprogramed

could be a partially broken wire in the wiring harness that runs in the door track. the wires are inside what looks like a plastic chain that allows it to move with the door and have seen them partially break not allowing power to flow the whole time
