[jymkym1]

just had a bunch of rain and then some freezing temps, i went to open the pass. side power door on my 97, not knowing the door was froze shut, i hit the button and the door broke loose and opened but would not close, now it doesn't work at all, no sounds at all now when i hit either of the switches to open it......i checked fuses......is there anything else i can check or try to pinpoint the trouble......thnx guys

Spray silicone on the rubber seals to prevent it from sticking again.

My guess is that you will need to perform the reinit procedure to have the door relearn where it's stops are at. When the door malfunctions, it goes into a "no operation" state as a safeguard.

what is the reinit procedure again, i tried unplugging the radio fuse with the door open and the power door disable switch on but that didn't seem to work unless i'm doing something wrong....

Open door
disable door switch
remove fuse
wait 30 seconds
insert fuse
wait 10 seconds
enable switch
open door via one of the 3 switches

If that doesn't work, hold the door open button and toggle on/off the lockout switch 10 times. You'll hear a buzzer, then it will beep several times in two groups seperated by a pause. Report back the number of beeps in each group.

yeah, i tried the fuse thing with no luck, i will try the other later tonight and let you know.......like i said once the door broke loose it opened and then it shut but stopped short of closing all the way and hasn't worked at all since.......thnx for the tips

i tried that other method, i got the short buzz followed by 2 beeps and then a pause and another 2 beeps......

That's a 22 error code. It means that it has sensed something in the way, stopping the door from opening or closing. I've gotten that several times when the door has become confused. I would try relearning the door again. I've had to do it several times in a row in order for it to take.

thnx for the help, i will try the relearn again a few times......and then i will post back here with any results..... and also what other codes are possible with the sliding door, it seems pretty simple but it must be alot more technical than i thought in order for it to rely on codes in order to be able to fix it.......
