Venture van power door problem

I have a 2003 Chevy Venture Van. The Driver side power sliding door springs back open just before locking closed. I have checked for debris and found nothing. Any ideas as to the problem?

It sounds as though one of the proximity sensors is faulty. Also try giving the tracks for the door a good shot of white spray lithium grease. The door may be binding enough so that the emergency reverse is kicking in.

Check the foam seals along the bottom of the floorboard. I had the same problem and found that, even though the seals didn't look like they would block the door, there were a few kinks in the foam that caused the sensors to think something was blocking the door and kept the door from shutting. I had this repaired by a body shop for less than $50.

The seals that caused my problem were attached to the floorboard track and not the door itself but I would check all of the seals as any kinks or lumps that cause resistance when the doors shut can cause the doors to open back up.
Hope this helps.

I recently purchased a used 03 Chevy Venture van. The passenger sliding door doesn't open. It worked for 1 week and stopped. The driver side sliding door has a broken handle so I'm able to open that door...

Pain but fixable. Sounds like the linkage is not connected. Even a mechanic will have to remove the door panel and fight with it. If you can remove the rear seat from the drivers side side door then you might have room to remove the passenger side door panel to fix it. Usually clips are the first thing to break on door handle/latch linkages

Radio, Key auto door lock/opener, interior lights not working.

Most likely is a fuse. There is a fuse box at the end of the right side of the dash. Open front passenger door and there is a cover that says fuses on the end of dash. There is also a fuse box located under the hood at the right front of engine compartment. It should have a cover with a round knob in the middle of it .Unscrew the knob to remove cover.
