Loses power to open and close. Tried dash reset, nothing. Checked fuses, all ok. Tried battery disconnect three times,door opened and closed several times,all three times .Then stopped working. Cleaned and lubed the rails and wheels. Had times when rear latch didn't draw door completely closed. Times when rear latched, but then released after a few seconds. Door stayed closed, just rear popped out 1/4". Middle roller moves in and out, but no more than passenger side that I can tell.

It sounds like the control module has gone bad but the best thing to do to find out what is wrong is to start with a CAN scan. Here is a video to show you how, let me know what codes are stored.

Also, I have sent he motor get weak and time out the module. That is why we need to scan it first. I would also get a can of WD40 and spray the slides and cables. Here is what the system looks like and the module location incase you get a code for it. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
