How do I fix the Left side Sliding Door on my 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan?

The left side door has stopped opening either electrically, or manually. The lock on that door stopped working electrically awhile ago, but it can still be pulled up manually, will not open whether locked or not.

Don't remove the door.. Remove the seat/s to gain access the the door panel. Take it off(top part pops off, look for screws at the top of the bottom piece and around handles), look to see what may have broke inside the door. There are plastic pieces that hold the rods to the actuator and door handles. It sound like one or two of them have broken.

Have the hinges dropped or a catch remained locked in placem sounds like it. The door should be removed for inspection and diagnosis repair, somebody who repairs such vehicles would probably be the place to sort it out.
If your mechanical/electrical skills are upto par you might do it yourself....sounds like a mechanical issue really

good luck

2007 Dodge Grand Caravan. What would stop the sliding door from latching?

There could be several reasons why your 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan sliding door is not latching properly. Here are some possible causes:
  1. Obstruction in the Door Track: Check the door track for any debris, dirt, or foreign objects that may be blocking the door from closing fully. Clean the track and remove any obstructions.
  2. Broken or Misaligned Door Hinges: If the door hinges are damaged or misaligned, the door may not close properly. Inspect the hinges for any signs of damage or wear and replace them if necessary.
  3. Damaged Latch or Actuator: The latch or actuator that holds the door in place may be damaged or malfunctioning, preventing the door from closing properly. Inspect the latch and actuator for any signs of damage and replace them if necessary.
  4. Dead Battery: If the battery in your Dodge Grand Caravan is weak or dead, the electronic functions of the sliding door may not work properly. Check the battery and replace it if necessary.
  5. Faulty Door Control Module: The sliding door may be controlled by a door control module, which may be faulty or damaged. Have the control module tested and replaced if necessary.
In any case, it's recommended that you take your vehicle to a certified mechanic or dealership to diagnose and fix the issue, especially if you are unable to get the door closed manually.

Power sliding door doesn't work!

Try taking off the door, or spray some wd-40 on the rail. It sounds like its either not getting enough power or its getting caught on something.

Dodge caravan sliding doors

First, keep in mind that as you begin to remove these doors you run the risk of causing serious scratches to the paint and glass, so put some masking tape and/or plastic sheeting around both sides of the door (rear quarter panel and rear glass, front door and front door glass)
I would get a Haynes repair guide since that's what I have to work from and it will tell you step by step with pictures, what to do. It's not hard, but you need to get all of the attach points unhooked to be successful. Suggest you have a helper working with you to keep the door steady.
