Problem overview

Some Ram ProMaster 3500 owners report experiencing issues with sliding doors that open while driving and fail to lock, which can pose safety risks. These problems may stem from a worn-out latch mechanism at the top of the door, preventing proper operation. Additionally, owners are advised to check the striker plate and latch for tightness and alignment to ensure the door functions correctly. Cleaning the contacts and ensuring they meet properly can also help resolve sliding door issues. If a sliding door open message appears on the dashboard and the door won't lock, it may indicate a malfunction with the latch mechanism or its built-in micro switch. Furthermore, recurring fuse issues could signal underlying electrical problems within the door system, necessitating inspection by a qualified technician. Prompt attention to these matters is crucial for the vehicle's safety and security, and if issues persist, consulting a professional mechanic or dealership is recommended.
