I bought this van a couple of months ago. The power sliding door (PSD) didn't work. I then got a manual and realized that the PSD override switch was ON, meaning the PSD was OFF. I turned the override OFF and the PSD worked...sort of. It only worked when you opened the door from the outside. It would close via the overhead and door frame switches and the remote, but it would only power open from the outside door handle. Well, now it doesn't work at all. I tried the PSD RESET feature as stated in the manual a few times, nothing. (Is there a mistake or missed step in the manual, it isn't very detailed). I actually had it working once for a moment, then it quit again. By WORKING, I mean as stated earlier, semi-working. At any rate, I checked all of the related fuses and the 30A circuit breaker, of course all of that is good or it never would have worked at all. Does anyone have any experience with PSD problems such as mine and not just the "Do the RESET thing as in the manual" or "could be a blown fuse" stuff? None of that seems to apply here. Also, the power lock on the PSD is intermittent as well. I am wondering if there is a near-short or possible contact issue. I tried contact cleaner on the PSD electrical contacts, no help. As of now, the PSD does not work at all and all related fuses and the 30A circuit breaker is good. Sorry for the novel, I just wanted to give as much info as possible. Great van other than this. Thank you.

 

Hmmm...kinda quiet in these parts.

 

My 01 does that from time to time. I get it working by manually closing the door all the way then manually opening it all the way then back to close. Everytime ive done it it started working properly.

 

Having similar problem, I would like to disconnect the door and use it manually, tired of climbing over seats and getting locked out of the sliding door....help!!!!!!!

 

Thanks, do you know how to reset the door or put it on manual?

 

Still no solutions, huh? I have same problem with my 2003 Venture.
