The left rear sliding door was not working. No longer cinches and does not open or close automatically. I replaced the lock actuator and now it locks/unlocks with key fob. I verified the track harness for pin to pin continuity and it seems ok. Can the cinch and door motors be rebuilt? Help troubleshooting?

Are you getting power to the motors? As far as rebuilding, they really not designed to be worked on.

Would you describe the best way to check. Should I push the key fob to activate with dc volt meter attached to connector. Which pins to verify?

Yes, you could use the fob to actuate the door. As far as pins, there should be a common ground and two wires that supply power to the motor. One wire will supply power to run the motor in one direction and the other will do the opposite.
