No Power To Sliding Doors But Power To Boot

[Craig]

Hi iv got no power to both sliding doors. When I push the button inside the car and by the doors it does nothing. Doesn't even sound like power is getting to them. Anyone had this issue or could it be power unit or fuse?. Thanks

Hi Craig,

 

Interesting that it's both doors. If you use the remote/fob is it the same story? Also do you have the power tailgate/boot lift, does that work?

 

From memory they are on a separate fuse, the fusebox lid is labelled so you should be able to find your way around it and check them. Also an obvious one, check the overhead ON/OFF switch for them as they can be disabled by swapping into the OFF position.

 

One last check, if you don't close the door properly, does the motor then pull the door in and clunk/click it into place?

 

I'd be surprised if both door chain feeds have gone, but it's not impossible. It's a common problem, the track you can see in the gap at the base of the floor has a plastic chain, inside that are the power/electrical control wires to the motors and they often will break over time and cause a total failure similar to what you're seeing.

If I use the remote they work. Just found this out. Haven't had car long. The power lift works off the key. Il try the button in the car when I get home from work.

Hi just an update have the right hand door working off the fob and button at the top. But when I use the key or button for left door it sounds like it opens but doesn't slide back

Ah ok, in that case it's a little better! (Not a total failure)

 

By the sounds of it, it's the movement motor that's failed and that is the common one inside the chain underneath the floor. Do a couple of searches on the forum and you'll find various notes and info on fixing it, but it should be simply a broken wire inside that plastic chain, which you can re-connect together and get it working again.
