    Should replace harness. All the wiring is weak. Not very expensive to replace whole harness. Repair them is good for temporary fix. IMO

    I know this an old post but gotta give credit where it's due. Just picked up a well used 2005 DGC with the same issue. Door would open slightly when the button on the panel was pushed and it would lock closed but wouldn't slide function at all. Found this post and followed your instructions. I didn't have to look far, the ground wire was chafed and broken right at the 2nd "link" in that flex tray. Quick splice and some turns of electrical tape and the door works perfectly. Thanks for the DIY, saved me frustration and $$$ !

    What is the purpose of the wires inside this plastic tracking chain? I bought a brand new set up less than a year ago...$124, and had a mechanic change it out (more $$$) for me. It's broken again in several places already, even though I've tried to keep it strait and repaired. If the wires just tell the instrument panel that the door is ajar, then I am going to remove the whole thing. This car was wrecked before I bought it, and there is an always present DOOR AJAR light on the dash board from a broken connection someplace inside the bodyworks.

      From what I can tell all those wires actually do alot. The plastic track broke and wires were exposed and i never fixed it. Now the wires are in rough shape, some even cut. None of the rear windows will roll down now, the doors won't work with the buttons and im sure there are some other things I can't think of, as i don't drive it so i don't know.

    It was not the wiring harness on mine. Still, the door won't open. The motor is good, the door latch is good. When I press the button to open it, it just make a sound, but doesn't open at all. When I close it alittle, it close automatically, but it won't open or close all the way. Now what happen? :(

    I have used this video to fix both of my doors on a couple of occasions. When I've done this before, the door would open partially, but not all the way. The "closer motor" also worked, so when i manually shut the door, the motor would close it all the way. The problem I am having now is the "closer motor" is not working at all when I manually shut the door. So, would this be the same problem as this video is showing, or is that motor something different? I'm thinking different but can anyone say for sure before I take the wire housing apart and start looking for broken wires?

    Hi! My 2005 Grand Caravan's liftgate is not working, some times it opens with the remote keys or with the button on the top panel, but most of them not. Does any body have the same problem or have an idea on what it could be? Thanks!

    Is there a correlation between what failure mode the door is and which of the wires to focus on? I have previously spliced and obvious break but know I have both doors malfunctioning again. * One door seems to close fine (for now), but upon opening it just pops open and stops (no motor sounds after initial opening. * The other door will almost completely shut just short about 3 inches and the Motor continues to run but the door is stuck in the 3-inch opened position. This same door from a shut position will only open to that 3-inch location and motor runs but no movement of the door. The wires "look" good.

    Just before the doors started malfunction, our doors opened up on us while driving down the highway with 3 year old next to the door. Then the doors started to open up only a few inches. Shortly thereafter, they quit working all together and I noticed a solid black wire handing our on the passenger side wire track in the door. I will also be fixing this problem after watching your post. Thank you for your video.

    Hello thanks so much for the tutorial. I believe it was your video that I used about two years ago to do the Passenger side door. The Driver's side door is now only opening a few inches and then has a motor winding sound. The same is true when shutting the door, it gets to 2" and stops with motor winding. I checked the Wires and all seems good. I do remember Cleaning the brass clutch plate and magnet of the the door motor, but this was to let the door move more freely when opening manually.
