When pulling on handle to open door, the automatic function will not work. Door must be pulled open manually, and closed manually. Both sides. The buttons on the remote key thing work to open/close the doors. Likewise, the overhead buttons work to open and close the doors, but the buttons in the rear seats do not work to operate the power doors.

Just to eliminate the obvious, I believe there should be a button pushed in on the front overhead console that needs to be pushed in in order for the read passengers to use the power sliding door. Is that depressed?

Oh my lord, you're a genius. Boy do I feel stupid. Apparently "someone". Aka one of my lovely children was playing in there pushing buttons and that happened to be one of them. Thank you so much.I never even thought to check and certainly would have looked like an idiot hauling myself to the dealership with my ridiculous problem.

I really appreciate your help and now I will remember for the future that if I'm having a problem to check that first!

Hahaha I'm so glad that's all it was! Believe me, you're not the first one that thought there was an actual problem. That button is there for safety reasons so the kids don't keep pushing the button thinking its a toy haha. Really glad to hear you're not going to be spending any money on a repair! Have a great day and come back if you have any other concerns!

Hi All-

I have a 2007 Sedona and now both of my power sliding doors quit working. The first one went out about 6 months ago and now the 2nd. Here's what is happening(identical problem on both doors)-
The overhead buttons and the remote buttons won't work and the door doesn't even beep. If you push the buttons on the sides there will be a loud beeping sound but the door will not open. *IF* the van is running, the doors will open the majority of the time but only by pulling the handles, the buttons still don't work. Once the door is in the open position, you pull the handle slightly and the door will start to close but jerk as if it is caught on something, if you pull the handle and tug the door forward a bit to get it passed where it sticks, it will continue shutting all of the way.

We have only had this car a year and it has been a money pit =( I don't have much more to sink into it. I wasn't too worried about the first door but now that the other is broken, my kids can't get in and out without help because they aren't strong enough.

Can someone please offer some suggestions?
Thanks!

Jen

First thing you need to do is to check for trouble codes and this can only be done with proper scan tools capable of Body Control Module communications.

Since the doors are able to move but seems to have the difficulty moving past a cetain mark, it could be the adjustments of the door that is out.

The buttons not working could mean a bad circuit somewhere.

Would it be likely for theses things to happen at the same time? Ie: buttons work, door works. Buttons quit working, door only works with van running and gets hung up in open position.

Yes, a fault in one electrical control system can cause all of them to occur at the same time.

I have encountered such cases whereby a fault door control unit is the cause. It is the reason I suggested checking for trouble codes.
