2001 Dodge grand caravan sport driver side sliding door won't open at all. This is a manual door, not power. Before this happened, I was having problems with getting the door to latch closed, it would just bounce back open. And before that, the lock stopped working, I couldn't lock or unlock it, it was just stuck in one position. I can't open the door to access the latching mechanism or check the child safety lock. Any suggestions?
I'd be surprised if there's a child lock on a Dodge van. Have you checked the track wheels are in good shape? Often due to usage they flaten and render the door closed. I'm guessing there's something allows functionality once the doors start moving. I had a green Goddess with a similar door sliding function. You can get to the wheels on the bottom of the door by lifting the door upwards a free mm then push the bottom of the door outward
The wheels will slide down/out of the bottom of the door with little effort. You can then hammer the metal wheel's back into shape. Replace by reversing the method of removal and fingers crossed (optional) your door is fixed. Also clean them with diesel and grease them up for good measure. Good luck.
