Question: Sliding door

The automatic sliding door will not open by pushing buttons. There is a beeping sound that seems to be coming from the rear of the van. You can open it by pulling and tugging but hard to get totally closed. Could you tell me what the problem is and how to fix it?

  The reason it's hard to move is because it's in manual mode, no electric assist. You probably need to get this to a GM dealer to look at to determine the root cause. Could be a electrical problem(probably)but also could be a mechanical problem with the door. The PSD module, cable adjustments, door alignment adjustments, door contact switches are just some of the parts that can fail or be out of adjustment to cause a problem. Hope this helps.
