The power door would not open on the van. I found the power door solenoid was not working. I installed a new one and presto... it works now.

Did it on the left rear door of my 2002 Chrysler T&C (see youtube). I removed the lock assembly like you did, then noticed that all which secures the actuator to the lock bracket was that one torx screw, which you can unscrew thru that small hole in the door panel, then slide the actuator back. But, not much more work to remove the whole assembly and then you aren't flying blind. As you found, the green lever is for passenger's door (R) and red lever for driver's side (L). Strangely, my green lever had an "L" on it. BTW, 271K miles on our 2002 and the engine still has perfect compression, but don't tell that to all the people who claim Chrysler vehicles are unreliable.

My wife's Bonneville was bought at 98,000 and sold with 298,000 to a lady who drives it everyday.To those who say they don't make cars like they used to I say THANK GOD FOR THAT.My Grand Caravan has 176,000 and I change oil when it's a quart low which is about 4000 miles including a small oilpan leak.Does anybody remember buying a car with 100,000 and adding in the cost of rings and a valve job as part of the price??

Thanks for taking the time to show the removal of the Assembly. When I replaced the Left Actuator in our 2004 Grand Caravan, there was an access hole for easy removal of the Actuator's T15 screw without taking the assembly out. Not knowing the assemble removal is easy also with a T30 bit, I drilled an access hole in the door to get "see" the T15 Screw. Drill bit might have marred the "loop" that the pin travels in so I will be removing the Assembly for inspection. Also to all Automatic door owners. When the door is opened or closed manually there is a magnetic disc in the Power door moror that "disengages" the motor so that the door moves freely. I have found over time that the disc will keep the motor magnetically engaged and make the door difficult to move manually (feels like you are working against the stagnant motor). When I disassemble the motor and clean the disc it the manual operation works easy and "free". But this is often short-lived. Is there another way to clean the disc to have to keep for Sticking over time.

Jay Garbarino sounds like you have had good luck replacing the actuator. As for the magnetic disk sticking problem, I do not know of any permanent repair for easy operation. Maybe another viewer will know of a solution. Thanks for watching and commenting. Keep up the good work! ~Mr. C.

Hey man great video. I’m having sort of the same issue going on same year an model caravan and it’s grandmas 😅 . Told me there key fob stopped working an they replaced the battery but still won’t unlock or lock doors and I noticed there left passenger door won’t open automatically and the right passenger struggled it’ll open a quarter of the way an stop in position . So I right away assumed for that issue it’s the door actuators. But for the key fob not unlocking car or locking I tried replacing IOD fuse an cleaning the grounds. After doing that it worked 4 times than stopped . Remove fuse do it again it’ll work then stops working completely . Any idea? Or would that be because the door actuators are bad and keeping the locks on locked position . Also the driver side switch on the inside to unlock an lock wouldn’t work either . Please help if u can. Thanks

@roman pineda I would look into the wiring harness for the door. I made a video on how to replace it ( link below ). I had the same problem with the door only opening 1/4 of the way. The problem with the wires caused many problems and sometimes there were no problems. I hope this helps. ~Mr. C. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtORaJCEvM-6YWg.html

Lauren when mine failed it was still easy to manually move the lock knob up and down. I am not sure what would cause the lock to have that much resistance. I did not disconnect the battery. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching. ~Mr. C.

Ran Dome no whirring noise or tick-tock noise. Just a normal motor sound and a latch sound when the door is fully open or fully closed. ~Mr. C.

@@NaturesCadenceFarm The whirring noise is the actuator motor inside spinning, also now since I replaced the wiring loom I can't open the door from the outside, so I'm guessing this actuator is goosed. I've ordered a new actuator. Progress though, because this power door has never worked since I've have the van, and the actuator has never worked electronically (i've never heard it).
