Passenger side door opens about 6 inches and stops. Push it further and it will continue to open. When it closes it stops at the same point, about 6 inches short. Push it to close and it will finish closing.

I had a door doing the same thing. My issue was that one of the wires in the plastic track that folds up was damaged. Basically, as the plastic track folded up to where there was a cut in the wire, the copper inside the plastic insulation pulled apart. Once you were past that point in the wire (where the door stops), the copper came back together and the door operated again.

Testimonial: "Sounds like a good place to start. Makes sense to me. Thanks."

1997 BMW Convertible driver/passenger windows won't go down

I had a similar problem with a '95 Olds. Turned out that the wires between the door frame and the driver's side door had broken from the constant flexing of the door opening and closing.

97 Grand Prix sunroof off track

My 97 Grand Prix sunroof tracks are offset. My driver side track is in the closed position, and the passenger side track is in a half open position. When the problem happened I was closing the roof and heard a hard clicking. It stopped working from that moment on. The tracks werent offset as much as they are now before I took the glass off. When I removed the glass, the passenger side track sprung back about 6 inches. The motor works, but the tracks only move about a half inch forward and backwards. Its cable operated and my guess is that one side jumped the track or a gear or something. Anybody help?

Chrysler T&C Power Door Problem

If it stops in roughly the same spot every time, and won't respond after it has stopped, it sounds like a broken wire. It is likely losing its electrical current to run the motor. It should be right where the track bends when the door has stopped. Check for loose or frayed wiring inside the flexible plastic track just below the door. The wires will often wear after being bent over and over again. If you find a broken bit of wire, cut out that section and splice in a new length of wire. Be sure you do a good job splicing, or you may end up with the same issue again soon. I am not a mechanic by any means, this just makes sense to me, and I'm considering buying an 01 town and country with this issue, which is why I'm on this site to begin with. Best of luck -
