1997 Silhouette passenger automatic sliding door made knocking noises after closing. After several times of doing this it quit working altogether. Checked fuses. Would like to know where to find the door motor and where the cables are. That is what it sounds like to me.

  The power sliding door (PSD) motor and cables for your 1997 Oldsmobile Silhouette are located behind the interior trim panel at the rear of the sliding door opening.
