Thank you. I repaired many items but I will skip this one being scared by your video.
It was not an easy endeavor. I always enjoy a good challenge.
Yeah I'd rather eat glass and while throwing up blood swim with Great White Sharks then attempt this. Omg rofl. You're a magician dude. Good job.
😂That’s hilarious.
Most definitely a job I NEVER wanna run into again, I had to replace both sides
ua-cam.com/video/xWtIe_xU160/v-deo.html
this was not that easy at all. pay someone competent to do it.
Nope. Not easy at all. But very satisfying once you get it done.
like for dropping T15 in the door panel and owning it
It was as if we were up there with you. Great and thanks for the beautiful video
Very good video, I’m impressed not one cuss word for such a over engineered mess of a door actuator. This is the guy you want for your neighbor !!!
My neighbors think the same. Thanks pal.
Great job!
Thank you.
Yours just popped right off. Mine won't pop off at all. Pretty sure one of the clips broke, the rest won't budge.
Some models have another screw under the center door handle. Check that out
@@josephsopala7642 I'll check that out. Butt I've looked all around for another screw. I've ordered she actual plastic pry bars made for the job. See how that works
www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem#index If people would report this issue to NHTSA, then it would be noticed and maybe FCA would be forced to fix this safety issue for free. I have had people trapped in the back by this failure (that occurred with no "buzzing" sound as is supposedly the symptom.
If I don’t have the sliding doors do I need to put the bracket back in there? Hard to fit it back in
Nice job
Thanks
Thank you for the video, there is no way im paying 800 for this. Im sending this video to my wife, so she understands why ill be in the shop for a couple hours. Lol
Funny.
This is an awesome video. Did it in 1 hour and 40. The grommets on the right side, you don't have to mess with. But he was on point with the whole video. Kudos points to him. I took the two silver bolts out on the left side of the handle that opens the door so I can get the cable out easier. And then I bolted it back afterwards and then pulled the whole assembly out
Thanks bro!! It took me 5 hours to get it done!!
You’re welcome. Glad it helped.
hey man I'd like tk know you so much.. i live from brazil
Good gosh.. I dont understand why they don't try to uncomplicate these door locks and windows. Simply unreal. I looked up this and the window actuator for the front door. These videos tell me a mechanic is worth it if he knows what he's doing. I would get lost in these jobs for most of the weekend.. I would not be surprised if a mechanic turns down the job even if I'm willing to pay well.
Thank you for this 🙏
You’re welcome.
DO NOT DO THIS!...THEY SELL A KIT THAT TAKES ABOUT 1 HOUR TO INSTALL...GOOGLE IT!!!
I forgot to take mine in under warranty....damn it
Incredible video! thanks for helping me take it apart and put it back together, hopefully the actuator was the problem! Symptom was it would close but if it was hot out, door would continue to try close but wouldn’t?? Just kept hearing the motor trying to close if you bumped it would sometimes help!
I just can’t seem to reconnect the main panel back to the actuator panel. Is it absolutely necessary for them to be connected as long as the linkage is functioning?
That whole door is a mystery to me but it’s a good idea to put them back together for stability reasons so you might want to stick some double adhesive tape in there to join the actuator harness to main panel. But if it works maybe it doesn’t need it.
Use this kit instead. No need to do all of this! Just did my caravan. Done in 30mins! ua-cam.com/video/xWtIe_xU160/v-deo.html
not all heroes wear capes
That's funny. I'm glad it helped.
@@jsopala you have the only video explaining how to do it!!
Great video! It took me about 2 hours to do mine on my 2014 Dodge GC. I left the whole inner assembly all together rather than taking the cables all apart, but to each his own. Thanks much!
Just did one today, I've been a tech for 26 years. What a pile of engineering cluster f@!(k. I swore like a sailer. Got it done but geez. Besides that book time showed 1.7 hrs. Glad I saw many posts on the actual time.
Glad I could help.
How come my 2010 black door handle panel has two screws on the side? How do i get to those if i cant get the door open..grrr
What if you cant get the door open
Try disconnecting the car battery for 4 minutes. Sometimes this resets the lock relays and fixes the problem. Otherwise watch the video it shows you what cables to pull to unlatch the door. Good luck.
@@josephsopala7642 It didnt work... i saw another video where the long rod needs be pushed after the panel is out. but need to see how to take it off first while the door cant be opened
I can definitely see why the dealership days they remove the entire door for this job. 🫣
😆
Perfect video.. quick & straight to the point...
Glad I could help.
Just a comment that these instructions won't work in every situation. In my case, I can't open the door at all, thanks to Dodge/Chrysler's defective actuator design. My door is locked shut and part of the instructions here say to open the door to get the panel off. Thanks for putting it together. It looks like quite a few people were helped - just not me 😞.
There are actually 2 actuators one unlocks the door and the other one pulls it shut. Try disconnecting your car battery for 4 minutes to reset the relays. That might get things working again. Good luck.
@@josephsopala7642 Thanks. I was able to remove the panel without opening the door. After I did that, I was able to unlock the door just by sliding the bar that connects the lock lever to the actuator. When I did that, the door worked like it should .... for an entire day 😞. So now I think it really is the lock actuator, but I don't think I want to tackle replacing it. More power to you and anyone else who goes through this!
Thank you, knowledge is timeless. Help me big time today!💯
Glad I could help!
The reset on the relay worked thank you!!
Hey after I put my door back together the door had no power what could possible br wrong ?
If you didn’t plug it back in on the bottom of the door try that. If all your connectors are tight sometimes you need to reset the relay by disconnecting the car battery for 4 minutes . Good luck.
@@josephsopala7642 ok np I will try it tomorrow thank you for replying
Great video thanks
Thanks Brother! Don't drop the screw in the door .... as the screw drops 🤣🤣🤣
I hate these vans
I hate the sliding doors of these vans. Besides that I never had a more comfortable and reliable ride.
IMPORTANT!! Try forcing open the lock on the sliding door while pressing the unlock button on the driver 's door it may clear the jam in the actuator and fix the problem. Try it several times if it doesn't work from the first time.
I have yet to come across an engineered design worth the salary of an engineer. Some of the dumbest people in the world are engineers. I've been Fighting this stupid panel for over 6 hours - I can't get it out of the door. I'm calling defeat.
thank you!! Life saver :)
Awesome job of explaining! Thank you for sharing Joe!
Awesome production!
For anyone who is attempting this there is a more simple way to remove and install the door latch/actuator assembly. First you want to remove the window by removing the outer trim on glass. Remove the 2 bolts holding the window track and slide it over then the window will come out. You'll have much more space to work with and you can remove the whole door card along with everything that is attached to it. And to install it is alot easier to get the window channel over the brace with the window out.
Thanks for the info. If you have a video of this simpler way please do post it. I’m curious to see what you’re talking about.
@@josephsopala7642 I wish I had one. I work at a shop where we change these too often so I figured I had to share to help out the community because I was in a stress trying to finagle that whole assembly in. Lol
Thank you very much for the video, it really helped, highly and truly appreciated. 😊
I’m glad it helped.
My symptoms for a 2014 passenger sliding door as as such: If I open the door via button on dash or FOB, it will open, but the little hook that is meant to engage on the latch at the bottom inside rear of the door at the track, does not engage and will sometimes hook and hold with help from me and most of the times not engage. If it does engage, and stays hooked, if I try to close the door with the FOB or dash, it will start closing and ALMOST close but will need a push form my hand to latch and shut. If the hook does not engage, it will. not even try to close on its own. It works fine to open and close manually, and the latch will close the door properly when assisted by me. Based on my description above, has anyone had similar and this fExcellent DIY Fix was the ticket? Thanks in Advance!
Sounds like your other door lock actuator is busted. The one I replaced was the locking mechanism actuator yours sounds more like the door actuator which keeps it closed. You can actually see it in this video. It looks like a cartridge and is a more expensive but easier fix. Good luck.
I could not have done this without your video. Thank you!! Best on UA-cam for this type of thing. It took several hours over three days, but its finally done and working!! In hindsight, I might have just paid someone the $800. It may not be an engine teardown, but it's close!
Glad I could help. I enjoy taking things apart and trying to figure out how they go back together. This was definitely a challenge but fun nonetheless.
Sei grande!!!
Thank you for doing this! I broke the rear plastic section trying to remove everything so I'm off to the wreckers for a good one. I'm giving myself most of the day to do this job!
Have fun and good luck.
If the lock won't pop how'd you open the door
It’s in the video. Take the panels off-slide the lock latch and pull the center cable to open. Good luck.
This happened to me. I followed this video. ua-cam.com/video/1s8JfV35BMk/v-deo.html But I couldn't reach in and squeeze the actuator like he did. Instead, after removing the steel thumb lock rod from the handle, I grabbed the rod with both hands about a foot apart so it wouldn't bend. Then I pushed the rod towards the actuator and it unlocked. This way you don't have to remove the 4 T-30 torque screws holding the window cables. That was a pain putting back on. I'm still trying to replace my actuator. Was unsuccessful trying to remove the window rail off the window. I couldn't wiggle out the assembly. So I'm going to try to remove the window first as someone else suggested in the comments.
