First off, both driver and passenger side sliding doors were working fine before I began.
Driver side middle roller replacement went smooth. And I didn't even mark the placement of old roller before I unbolted it. The dirt marks seemed to serve a good enough guide for bolting back on the new roller assembly.
Because I did notice the slightest "binding" just past the bend in the track, I made a small adjustment after testing even though it wasn't causing any issue when opening or closing. The small adjustment was an improvement, and everything on the driver side sliding door is working perfect.
For the passenger side, I decided to go ahead and mark the location before unbolting the old roller. While detaching/re-attaching the cable, and hinge pin was a little more difficult...replacing the roller on this side went smoothly also.
So I was confused when the door didn't close or latch properly on testing.
These are the results of testing: On opening (after manually closing) the door using driver master controls, it attempts to open - latches open and door budges, but it seems blocked. Door moves back to closed and warning system beeps.
When opening using the doors ext. handle and tugging some outward, it opens fully.
When closing using any method (master control, ext. & int door handle), it gets as far as the bend in the track, "hits" something, beeps three times and returns to full open position.
When closing using any method and giving a little push past the bend, it reaches the latch, "hits" something, beeps three times and stops.
When closing door manually with master controls off, the door glides entire track, engages the latch and "auto-closes" completely. No beeping.
I spent at least a couple hours searching videos and threads to find some help. I bought the PDF service manual from eManualOnline. I've made numerous adjustments to the position of the middle roller assembly on the door. But haven't figured it out. I also pulled fuse #7 and performed sliding door reset.
I will greatly appreciate any help members here can offer.
When I found this Ody Club post, I thought it would yield a solution. It did help me find the spring on the lower door latch was missing on both sides; but it doesn't appear that is an issue here.
I also found the upper rail door bumpers missing on both sides (with the help of this video); but again it doesn't appear to be an issue.
I plan to clean and service the upper and lower track areas, but the condition of these areas wasn't an issue before.
I also figure to service and grease the motorized latches, but I hear them engage so pretty sure that's not where my issue is.
The upper rail door bumpers are on order. And I'm looking for a replacement spring for the lower latches (found broken spring in lower well: ss extension spring, approx. 30mm/1-3/25" L x 5.7mm/.224" W).
Hopefully this describes well my issue. If posting a video would help, lmk. I will update once this is resolved.
Glad to join Ody Club. I posted introduction here.
Thanks in advance.
