Alright, I’m here on vacation and finally time to work the little problems…

The power slider has been intermittent, and without warning one day, stopped working. Electronic reset did not work. You can hear the solenoids working, but no door activity. Also, manually trying to open was a NOGO.

Here’s what I found: removal of the interior door panel while closed, (yeah, that was a treat, but do’able). Linkage all seamed good, as were the adjustments, found nothing loose. What I did discover was two (2) latching assemblies, one to the front, one to the rear of the door. Front was working OK. The rear is actuated by a long linkage rod… it was not getting enough pull. A little tug on this linkage rod while operating handle and off she went.
I found no adjustment for this rod or the connecting latch. There is a double bend in the rod near the interior handle side (front). I increased the bend to give it that extra pull and all is good now. Automatic works as expected and manual does as well! Wifey is happy again, all doors work.

Anybody want pictures, speak up before I batten down the hatches…

This should also work for the (Chebby) Venture and the (Pontiac) Montana, but you guys really should have bought an Olds!
