Slide door noise?

Yep, the is a stripped drive gear on the cable control system, you will need to remove the drive motor for inspection/replacement. Make sure the drive is not stripped. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response.

How do i get to the motor?

Remove the door panel on the sliding door. The drive motor should be there.

And this ring is inside the motor? Or just get a motor assembly if its stripped i guess.

You can open up the motor to help confirm the issue.

are we talking about the sliding door lock actuator or the slide door motor?

The slide door motor? Does the lock make noise? I assumed the door was open when making the noise.

Ya it opens and closes. The lock closes and opens fine so i dont think its an actuator issue like some of the people having issues with theirs

So does it make the noise when in operation or when locking?

the sliding door makes. noise when I want to close the door but it won't move and just makes that noise until I help it by pulling on the handle that is on the outside for it to move and close

I removed the door cover, it turned out it was actually the lock door actuator making the noise not the slide door motor, I was mistaken. How hard are they to replace
?

It is not to difficult to do, here is a diagram to help.

Ugh, replaced it and same thing, its coming from the assembly it attaches to i guess. What is it called?

Yep, that is the drive motor, it is bad. Thanks for the video it helps.

So did the drive motor fix it?

I replaced the latch assembly with the motor and the noise went away but now am dealing with the issue of closure which I asked a new question about

Thanks for letting us know.
