| Description of the problem | My automatic sliding door cable has frayed. I can't use the door now. Somehow i magically got it shut, but now it is completely locked down to try and protect the kids and to keep the van in a usable state (obviously you can't drive around a vehicle whose door won't close). The vehicle was stationary when this happened. It was over a couple of days from when i first heard a strange noise when the door was moving to when it stopped functioning altogether. The last time i tried to close it it had been opened on accident by a babysitter who didn't know and we had to keep pressing the manual open/close button continually and inch it to a closed position, because it kept trying to reopen the door. I have 6 kids, 5 in car seats. I really need to be able to access the babies car seats without climbing into the van. This is ridiculous. We are down to one door. Also it is completely unsafe in the event that an accident were to occur. As a side note the motor seems to be working fine. The cables are the problem |
