Another common issue that I have heard about in the wiring harness between the van body and the driver¡¯s door. Over time wires in that harness can get brittle and break.

A common issue is that the interior door panel is misaligned and binds the lock button. ?The symptom typically looks like the door tries to lock, but bounces back to unlocked. ?

However, if there's no movement at all then the lock mechanism itself may be failing or there's an electrical connection issue.

FYI there's no "vacuum" assist that I can see - it's just motors and gears.

Here's a picture of the interior of the slider locking mechanism, showing the motor and gears

So late last year the vacuum assisted door locks stopped working on the slider door behind the passenger seat. ?I cannot get it to lock manually either. ?Any ideas on where to start? ?Thanks
