The power sliding side doors on my van are beginning to operate intermittently. One will sometimes not open when activated and the drivers side will open and then when almost closed re-open as if there was a blockage. There is nothin I can find to cause this re-openning.

Any suggestions?

Thank you

I have seen both the motor going out or the door control module cause this issue, when the door is not working you can check for power going to the motor by using this guide. Also, I have found the sliding door wiring diagrams for you so you can see how the system works.

Here is how you can change the motor out and the location of the control module as well:

Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
