Electrical problem
2002 Chrysler Town and Country 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have a 2002 Town and Country Van.
This Van came with a power Pas. sliding Door.

I saw that the Key Fob has both Buttons
for left and right (power sliding doors).
and a blank spot (switch) for the overhead console.

I went and bought a drivers power sliding door from a junk yard, to retro fit in my Van.

Well, it was from a 2007 T&C .

Knowing Mopar, (somewhat)..

(I see that a van might have manual windows,
but the Power window harness is there.)

so , ifso the 7 wire plug, going to the Drivers sliding door on my Van,is set up for a Power sliding door.

(remember My Key fob) key chain / with a button for it.

The 7 wire plug to the Drivers sliding door,
ran into a Plug from the Drivers sliding door
using 4 wires;

Power door lock
and
Door (not fully) closed switch, thats lights up on the dash.

So, I installed The Power Sliding Door, the runners
and etc..

Now the fun Part.....

I have a 2002.
the 2007 Door has a different Plug.
So I spliced the 2002 (7 wire)
to the 2007 (7 wire) plug.

I also replaced the overhead console
with the 2007 overhead console, cause it had the switch for the door.

all wires (plug) looked the same.

Also installed the B pillar switch ( harness was there)
on my 2002.

go to open the door and to my (knowing) the door wont work....THE DOOR wont work !!!!

(figures).

Heres what works:

The Power door lock works

The Dash warning light (door ajar)/(open) works

and the Cinch Motor works also.
(the Motor that Ciinch's the door closed).
---------------------------------------------------------

The only Motor that dont work is the Motor
to Open and Close the Door.

My Friend thinks its the Saftey / door lock switch.
The 2002 had only 2 wires going to it, (non power sliding door)
and the 2007 has 4 wires going to it. (power sliding door)

Can You Help Me ? !!!


I can answer all questions. AL

The power door module may not be communicating with the BCM or the overhead console...or all three aren't communicating.

You need a scanner capable of reading and re-programming. Assuming all the connections are good, I would suspect this may enable the system to work.

Anytime modules, actuators are repalced or repairs of this nature are performed it calls for a reprogram. IF codes are found, jot them down and clear them before reprogramming.
