Passenger Sliding Door Jammed

[bfrd22]

Did a search and could't locate any thing the same. 2002 Caravan with manual sliders. power locks. Passenger side door

Every thing was fine till the other night. door never has had a problem.
All of a sudden the door is jammed and locked. the interrior button and exterior handle feel as thought there is resistance in it, but the door lock button is jammed in the locked position. This thing is jammed tight.

How do I get the panels off, and any ideas what I'm looking for or how to fix this would be appreciated

I'm a newbie here, looks like a geat site for info the wifes van and my next Truck the new POWER WAGON! :rck:

Thanks Again for any help or advise

Ok I got the door panel off, and remove the rear side panel. Rear side panel was a waste of time cause there is no way to get to the secondary latch.

The lock actuator seems jammed. I cant budge the lock rod but can get up where the 1 upper and 2 lower cable releases are and the move freely. There has to be a way to manually release the lock. The front of the door moves the back section will move forwards and back very slightly but jammed up

I'll keep checking back. for any advise and keep posting what i have and if i do fix it what it was for future.

later

So after using my mirror and led light. everything looks fine how ever the area I need to get at is to far into the door. Any techs that can give me some tips would be appreciated. I really hate to toss sevaral hundreds away at a dealer if its something stuipd.

Thanks

bump for some help. It's out of warranty and I really don't want to pay $85 hr for some on to fix something that might be simple.
