I had surgery and the vehicle sat for 2 months and the battery drained.

After replacing the battery, the passenger sliding door is not working properly now. I have tried to do the manual resetting instructions in the operations manual. Did not fix the problem. I have cleaned the PSD contacts.

Looking for solutions. Took it to the dealer and the dealer said they couldn't get parts so they wouldn't work on it.

Any solutions???

There are four fuses that run the sliding door we need to check for power and to see if the fuses are good. This guide can help, and I have included the sliding door wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works and the fuse locations as well.

You can see which fuses to check by the wiring diagram as well. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
