Make sure the toggle on/off switch on the overhead console is set to "on". Ours got switched to off which causes the sliding doors to stop working from the rear buttons. They continue to work from the key and front buttons.

Thank you so much for this post and the pictures. We just bought a used 07 Grand Caravan and the door stopped working today. We were so disappointed and thought it would cost us hundreds to fix it….which we weren't going to do. My husband is so proud of me for fixing the car.

Thanks!

It will be interesting to see if our battery dies soon….

Both times we hit this it was on a 2005 model. Not sure how much the control module changed over the years, but I'd guess that low voltage could affect the older control module as well.

What year was your van?

I have a 1996 grand caravan and the power door does not work
