Power Sliding Door

[PsychoJim]

have a '97 Venture and a few months ago the sliding door stopped opening. It won't unlock with the key, button or from the inside door lock. The outside handle is loose. it feels like it's disconnected. does anyone know how I can get it open again w/out going to a shop and spending money I don't have. Also, my front wipers work but when I shut them off they go to the up position. Any ideas about how I can fix that would be appreciated. Thanks.

Can't help on the door. You should be able to get the panel off but it will probably be a PITA because you'll have to be working around the existing trim.

As to the wipers, see this thread.
