I would start by pulling the door panel off the inside. This will give you a look at the lock and handle mechanism to see what is amiss. Suspect a broken, fallen link that may now be lying in the bottom door channel and retrievable with magnetic pick-up tool. Get a good trim removal tool since a panel that large is easy to mar if you try pulling it with a screwdriver. Have a helper assist with the job and start by pulling the rear and middle seats if you can. To cheat on this, you may want to pull the panel on the opposite door to see how everything is supposed to look.

Why won't the driver side manual slider door open?
The rod from the handles to the lock mechanism could have come off or become bent to the point that it won't work the latch anymore. The prior problems were probably just symptoms of the problem you have now. Will have to take the door panel off and manually trip the latch.

Driver side sliding door on 2006 Dodge Grand Caravan wont automatically locked or open from the push buttom on the inside. What could be wrong?
take the door off the car, and hold it up over your head. then you will know how much weight is riding on the sliding bearings and how much work that little door closer motor is doing. the bearings and the motor can only last so long, and i bet through the warranty period is what you can count on. you are going to have to live with it, or replace those components, and with use like all mechanical parts and living beings, it will go bad again. .

Kids closed the seat belt buckle in the side sliding door. The door is now jammed. How do I get the buckle out and the door open?
You wil have to do it from the inside, with your screw drivers and a little force though. You have to take out the door panels and reach for the jammed lock, undo it and the door will open, u can do it. Good luck.

You probably have a problem with your Sliding Door Control Module. You will be money (and frustration) ahead if you begin this diagnosis by having your Body Control Module scanned.

the reason the locks dont work more then likely there is a code stored in the bcm for a lock output circuit normally caused by one if not both of the sliding door acuators. even if you change the acuators the locks still will not work until the code is cleared.
