97 Olds Silhouette power sliding door won’t open

Posted on February 20th, 2009 by lauderdale1

I’ve performed Diagnostic Mode 1, and it gives the 12 code (no errors). Problem is, it doesn’t open. It doesn’t open with either button. And it doesn’t open with the inside or outside manual pulls.

It acts like it doesn’t unlock. But it won’t unlock with either the electronic locks, key lock, or key FOB.

I’m at a loss. Can anyone help?

Sounds like you are right, it is not unlocking. You will have to see if you can get the door panel off and try to manually unlock it.

Hi I have the 98 and I would have to pull on the handles 4 or 5 times then you would hear a rolling sound and I could unlock tghe door manually then and open it. Hope this helps
Merry Christmas

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. But I ended up selling this van. Because I couldn’t ever get that door open!

Thanks again. And happy holidays!

it probably was dirty contacts on the doorjam panel or the prongs on the door. could have been the lock actuator in the door.maybe a loose wire in the passenger floorboard

I’ll bet the child proof lever lock on the sliding door is set to ‘lock’ and that’s why the door won’t open.

It’s a safety feature used to prevent children from opening the door while the vehicle is in motion.

I have a ’00 Silo and have used the lock myself just to see that it actually worked.

hello, pls try the follow, try to open and close from inside of your car, and be sure that the doohandle goes to the top of the lock, so you can lift the lock button.
pls sorry my english is no very good.
