correllbil Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I am having a problem with my sliding doors not unlocking. It started with the Drivers Side Door but now the Passenger Side is also not unlocking. I disabled the drivers side by removing the contacts but I don't really want to do that to the other door. When I press the unlock on the keyfob, the locking mechanism doesn't respond. It seems to be an intermittent problem. Anyone got a idea of how to fix it?

Fifty150 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 It could be a number of issues. I am guessing that your remote is unlocking the other doors when you press the unlock button. We can assume that the remote is working. What happens when you press the remote to lock the van? Do the doors lock? There could be an issue with the van's Body Control Module computer. Or the lock and mechanism is worn. As years go by, the opening and closing, plus locking and unlocking, creates wear and tear. Sometimes, it's wiring. Take the door apart. Check the lock. Inspect the wiring, look for shorts, broken connections, and poor grounding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 My sliding door lock was really lazy in cold. Did not work at all below -20°C (-4°F). Also, there have been several reports of sliding door remote lock/unlock acting up. My central locking control module was failing to the point where the alarm installer rewired everything to make the fob work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifty150 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I'm guessing that your 2010 is currently out of warranty. Here in Cali, and perhaps the rest of The USA, some dealers will advocate on your behalf for the manufacturer to perform an "after warranty adjustment" service. In some states, it's written into law. Talk to your dealer about a "good will" repair. Perhaps inquire with the NHTSA to see if this is a safety concern, which could force a recall.

Barbara1966 Posted December 31, 2023 Share Posted December 31, 2023 Everyone talks about key fobs... My transit only has keys... I had my alternator die and the battery was depleted... Now my normal lights dont work and only high beam and parking lights work... Also my sliding door wont unlock... Can someone please help... I have checked the light fuses and they are not blown... I have no idea how to fix the sliding door not unlocking... My sliding door has 2 pins and I have cleaned these and where they connect... It has a spring under the contact plate which has never had a cover on it... The unlocking issues only happened after the alternator was replaced and has not fixed itself with the battery now being full... Please help...
