Electric Sliding Door Not Working Correctly?

[a1ant]

Hi,

 

A common problem on the Voyager and Grand Voyager fitted with electric sliding side doors, is either the door failing to operate when the button on the remote is pressed, OR the door starting to open and then stopping after a short time. 

 

There are a number of different potential causes to this, but one of the most common, and easiest places to check, is the wiring loom which operates the door.

 

It is located in the bottom channel of the door aperture.

 

 

Carefully remove the wiring loom from its plastic conduit, and carefully inspect each of the wires, paying particular attention to the larger black wire.

 

Due to the constant flexing that these cables go through when the door is open and closed, its fairly common for one or more of them to break.

 

Should you find a break in a cable, if you are capable of soldering etc, then you can do a repair, or alternatively, you can simply replace that section of the loom. 

 

Hope that helps,

Alan

Good post.

 

There is also a software update available for the sliding door modules also for sliding door(s) not opening/closing.

- two screws

- top cover plate off

- pop the locking cam

- pull the [plastic] chain free

- mini screwdriver pop the clips on the chain

- find and repair the break, 15 minutes tops

- test & reverse to put everything back, test again
