Some times my side rear doors would open and now they both will not open at all. You can hear the lock release when I press to open but nothing happens. I have the other switch on open up by the mirror

Hello,

There is a door control module that sounds like it has gone out but to be sure let's run a power and ground test on the module and we should check the 6 fuses that power the system as well.

Here are two guides and some wiring and use panel diagrams so you can see what's going on after some simple testing.

Here are the diagrams (Below)

Power Sliding Door Module (Right) In right rear quarter panel.

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken
