power sliding door malfunction

I have a 2006 Buick Terazza. My passenger automatic sliding door has not work on and off for about 2 years now. Finally got it to shut and then told no one to use it. But someone made that mistake and I had to manually shut it again, but the chime will not turn off this time around. It is so irritating. I then realized the chime was on "loud" and not average (from reading the auto manual) and got it turned down to average which helped a ton with the noise factor.

The bottom line - took it to the dealer to address an ABS light on all the time - and at that time I asked them to unplug the automatic door motor (which also controls the chime) and problem solved - no more annoying chime. I have no problem closing the doors manually.

I have a 2005 buick terezza with the same problems. Taking the fuses out fixed the dinging and door opening by itself. About 2 months later my door sttopped opening manually. My fiance let someone help her try to open it and he broke the handle. That was about a year ago. I finally got around to ordering the new handle, But I can't get the door to open now manually or electronically. It will open a little bit, seems to come completly unlocked but will now slide back. Any help would be appreciated

Just bought a 2006 Terraza with 170,000 miles. Yesterday I pulled the drivers side sliding door handle to open it and the handle popped out and heard pieces falling inside. Impossible to open door from the outside, but can from the inside. Passenger side sliding door appears locked now and cannot open it on either inside or outside now. These are non-motorized doors. Any suggestions?

I tried everything on my 2007 Buick Terraza. The chime would sound even when the door was closed, the button to open and close the door only worked part of the time, and sometimes the door would even open when driving down the road. I tried all the suggestions I could find and nothing worked. Even the mechanic was stumped. So I "fixed" it permanantly. I disbled the power feature of the door entirely, and disconnected the motor cables so the doors slide easily. The procedure I used is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9RoNBAF...

take the sliding door and open, the metal pins (7) of them come out of the door. take a small screw driver and pry open the plastic holder these pins come through. once you get it out about 1/4 in you can push it back in and pull out the two black plastic put in securing bolts (not really bolts, more like plastic anchors).

put the plastic unit out. look at the assy close, take it appart and clean the grease and crud off the pins and notice the springs come out as well as the pins.

the problem is the contacts that grasp the pins conduct current for the signal and need to be stressed with the pin out so that when you put it back together it is tight to the pins.

try that and clean the pads on the door post but make sure you don't contact more than one at as they may pass current between each other if you use a conductive cleaner like a emory cloth.

don't shine too much on the 7 pads.

Black: I can not get the door to close at all. Manual or auto. I pulled so hard on the door that I pulled the top roller out of the track, in turn bent the track where the roller come out. The cables seem to be jammed. Any ideas. thanks Black.

I have 2005 Buick Terreza my sliding door on passenger side it's make buzz when I put on drive

I have a 2005 Saturn Relay. Was having the same problem. Door would randomly open or stick open with chime driving me crazy. Finally a complete failure happened and the door refused to stay closed. Turns out that the electrical assembly with 7 pins had completely fallen apart inside the door. The part #12457713. GM was selling online for $50. Now has a new part # and is sold only as a kit for $188. I was able to home repair the existing for $4 in parts from local hardware store. This part is very poorly made and prone to failure. This is scary, considering this is were we are told our children are safest in the vehicle.

Sell the van would be the best fix for this. You can pop off the plungers portion from the sliding door. Take the assembly apart and you see where the plunger rods pass through metal relay looking things. That may be where you are loosing continuity to the plungers. Take it all apart clean it and try to bend those relay looking things to where they will be tighter on the ringer rods. Put it all back together and turn the slider off manual. It is easy to fix but the assembly will fall apart on you but don't worry you will figure it out

I unplugged door motor. pop off trim behind passenger door by third seat on top. motor wiring leads to switch. I unplugged top gray wire harness on top of switch on 2006 montana. Door doesn't work with power anymore but can open and close it manually. No more ding ding and door stays opened or closed which ever you want.

I found the fuse box for the PSD on the right side of the front dash. Open the passenger front door, and you'll see the panel at the top of the dash. Remove the panel (there's a clip on the bottom), and you'll find a diagram inside the panel of the fuse locations. I removed 21 (PSD) as well as 24 and 25 (LH PSD and RH PSD). No more dinging.

clean both sides of contacts where on door and frame meet try it worked for me

Reading older posts and have the problem of my driver read sliding door not staying closed. Just keeps opening no matter whether I use my remote or switches above. I had to let it close and immediately deactivate it with the overhead switch to keep it closed. But the open door chime is driving me nuts. Tried to locate the gray wire, but the only one around my jack is further inside the opening toward the front. We unhooked it and it did nothing to the chime. Removed fuses and did not help. I am a 62-year old woman caring for my disabled husband and I can't take pin mechanisms out tne do whatever. I also can't afford to take it in and have them run diagnostics and whatever. Any other (new) solutions to this issue?

Thanks much!

Laura, are you certain you removed the correct fuses for the door chimes? I believe if you remove the correct fuses for the door chimes that there is no way the chime can continue. Check google for the fuse diagram for your car model/year (you don't state what car make/year you have). Good luck!
