My bit of advice: DO NOT remove the 4 screws holding the window regulator mechanism on the panel, if you do, you will have to rewind the wires on the spool and it must be done the right way to avoid having the control sequence reversed at the control button. The motor can be removed but do not remove the 2 screws holding the spool mounting plate in place.

READ THIS - IF YOUR SLIDING DOOR IS STUCK AND UNABLE TO OPEN. I was unable to open driver side sliding door for months (no buzzing noise from lock mechanism on this side). The manual lock actuator for this door was stuck and could not be forced. The tip about pressing the unlock button and forcing the manual door lock at the same time worked to release the actuator!! KEEP IN MIND... This did not work when using the unlock button on the remote... I had to use the unlock button on the driver door. Now the door lock on this side works fine (like it was never broken). Not sure how long this will last but at least I can open the door currently. Update: FYI... 9 Months later, the door lock is still working fine...

Thanks very much for posting this video. I had a similar problem, but it turns out the lock mechanism was jammed due to lack of lubrication, and the motor could not move it. It did hum or make any noise at all. Once so freed up the mechanism and lubed it, everything worked. But, your video helped me get to the problem.

The problem I had was the door was shut. The lock motor had failed so I could not undo the door. I pulled the panel half off (front of panel is attached with screws that can only be undone when door is open). I got heavy handed with lock connecting rod and it moved! That fixed it! Lucky me I now dont need to go any further at the moment. I have a UK 2013 Grand Voyager.
