Driver side sliding door will not open, power or manual, inside or out. I have took panel off. Replace actuator. checked all connections and bars. checked gas door connection bar. Still no luck to get the door to open.
Year of van?
Long WB or short?
Which side?
Even if you have a power door you can open it manually if the wires are broken.
Is the door stuck or glued(prank) shut? Can you feel the latch working?
Can you get the door lock to work?
Was it starting to act funny before failing?
Cheers
The harness inside the lower roller section probably has broken wires

It sounds like the problem is a failed lock solenoid, which is mounted on the door latch. The solenoid can be replaced separately from the rest of the latch. What you're going to have to do is get the door panel off while the door is closed to access the latch. The panel is held on with push in fasteners. Once the panel is off then you'll need to reach back to the latch and force the lock solenoid to the unlock position with a screwdriver or pliers, whatever you can get it to go with. Once it's unlocked then you can open the door, remove the latch and replace the lock solenoid.

This should help.Thanks.Helpmech.
It sounds like it could be the plastic connecting bit that links the lock tumbler lever to the rod that operates the door lock mechanism, has broken or become disconnected. To check, you will need to remove the trim on the inside of the door, after removing any screws and the inside door lever and window winder.
Once you have the inside trim off and the plastic sheet, you will see an access hole for the door mechanism and the lock tumbler. It should be attached to the actuating rod by the aforementioned plastic bit. If plastic bit appears OK try re-attaching it or replacing it if broken. If the lever part of the lock tumbler which attaches to the rod is broken the lock will need replacing.

2001 Town and County. Diver Side sliding door. You can hear the motor running when you try to use the power button to open it. But it doesn't open. It doesn't open manually from inside or outside either. I have taken off the door panel. Changed out the actuator, still nothing. I checked the gas door hook up and it is fine as well.
It seems as though it is stuck in the locked position. and nothing will unlock it. power or manually.
It does sound like the lock solenoid as Raj described below.
Does the manual lock button work on top of the door?? This should make the door unlock without replacing the actuator...:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hx4DhTAj...
