Sliding doors don't close properly
I work at a smaller dealership and we work on several 2001-2007 dodge grand caravans and Chrysler Town&Country vans and the issue I have a majority of the time is that the sliding doors will reverse as the door gets a few inches from full closed. Here is a list of things we have tried..
MAKING SURE THE SLIDER IS ADJUSTED CORRECTLY
ROLLERS ARE GOOD
TRACK IS CLEAN AND DOOR ROLLS FINE MANUALLY
SCHLEPP IS FINE (?)
ALL CABLES ARE GOOD
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT THANKS

I have one thought...Have you tried replacing the motor? If I remember correctly any van with electric doors that I've been around will stop if they meet some sort of obstruction. I THINK they know they're bumping against something because the door motor experiences a spike in current draw. If the door motor is old and/or worn, it may be drawing more current than normal and triggering the safety circuitry.
If you get a chance to test let us know if it works!

Bill, I don't have the answer but I sure am interested to see if anyone else does. Our 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT does the same thing. If it helps someone with more knowledge to troubleshoot, I've noticed it almost always happens when the van is on a slight incline, nose-down.
