'98 power sliding door won't unlock

Does anyone have any experience with a 1998 passenger side power sliding door not unlocking? The solenoids sound and look like they are working as I see some rods/levers moving when I push the open/close switch. I also cannot manually slide the lock/unlock slider switch to the unlock position. I can get the door to open by pushing the open/close button and then manually pulling back on a horizontal bar on the inside of the door which I believe is attached to the locking mechanism.

Thanks,

I adjusted a Torx T30 bolt 1/4" to the left on the locking mechanism which allowed the lock rod pin to slide into a channel and not hit the front of the channel. So far so good.

Hello I have an 03 Silhouette and had the same door lock problem on the passenger sliding door. Lock and unlock slider would not always unlock unless you pushed on a rod to the left of it. I did what you said and loosened the torx T30 bolt just above and the mechanism slid a bit to the left. Retightened it and it works beautiful. Thanks alot you saved me an expensive repair at the dealer

Good to hear you were able to fix the problem. In the future, please check the last post date in the thread and avoid posting in it if it is longer than 3 months from the current date.
