If your sliding door won't open when you pull on the handle OR if you have the sliding door open message on the dashboard and can't lock your van even though the door is completely closed, you might want to try what I show in this video.
Hopefully it will work for you.
Franklin Dodge Jeep in Farmington Maine charged me over $200 to not fix this at all.
Bedard Brothers in Cheshire Massachusetts did correctly diagnose the problem but it cost me $150. They wanted to order brand new parts for $650 when all that was needed was to move the sensor a little out from the door.
If you have similar problems, try this first before spending the big bucks. It might work for you. Definitely has for me.
Thanks for watching!
Brad

Thank you so so much for this video!!! I'm starting out on my 6 month Travato trip and the door wouldn't open from the outside, only the inside. I couldn't get the magnet plate off as there are no screws to unscrew it. So I took a screw driver and opened up a little space on the top and shoved a very small piece of once sided vel-cro into the opening. I did this on the bottom as well. Now it works! Thank you again!

Yup. Good job 👍 I ended up disabling the slider handle and just reach in from the front door.

I am sooo sorry you had to pay that. But honestly, better you than me, because I have a Promaster and am trying to do my buisness on a shoe string budget- (about 42K a year) and just have to live with these quirks because I cannot afford a dealer to look into some of these things and pay and pay again. So in light of all good things karma realated and the universe as it is I thank you personally for teaching us how to do this. You are a gift and abel to help others less fortunate that yourself and that my brother will help you sleep better knowing you are doing your part when there are so many rip off artist out there. My the Lord bless you.

How did you get it open to place the inner tube

What year is your van, and what mechanism are you referring to with your key right at the end of your video. My 2017 3500 seems to have a different handle mechanism, mid-rear door mechanism? 🤷

2015. The thing I'm pointing to with my key is at the very back of the sliding door, up top.

This is definitely the problem with mine but I can’t figure out how to take that latch off I don’t see any screws

Same here. So I took a small piece of one sided vel-cro and slid it behind the top and one behind the bottom using a screw driver to give it a little gap. That was enough to bring it out a bit and vuella....it works.
