2007 dodge caravan automatic sliding doors open when keys are in pocket

I've had a problem where my keys are in my pocket and occasionally my caravan's automatic sliding doors open because another key presses the sliding door button twice within 5 seconds. Makes for a very unsafe vehicle especially walking away from it after just parking it and the thing opens up. My solution was to disable the sliding door feature only on the remote as I can open it manually then hit the button to continue automatically... This was simple by inserting a piece of paper within the remote directly behind the sliding door buttons. Question, is there another way to do this? Some way to change the remote so you have to kit the sliding door button 5 time or more for it to open?

Keep the keys out of your pocket. Something is touching the open switch in your pocket.

SOURCE: 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan side door does not automatically close.

sounds like the door sensor switch is malfunctioning and when almost closed it reacts like it is blocked (such and kid in way) and opens for safety. try flushing trach with hose and try again, if not u need a good repair manual such as chiltons($25 most parts stores ) or see mechanic

You may have a defective key-less entry module (may be part of another module on this model), you need to have the dealer scan the system with a special electronic test tool to see what is causing this problem.

2007 Dodge Grand Caravan. What would stop the sliding door from latching?

There could be several reasons why your 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan sliding door is not latching properly. Here are some possible causes:
  1. Obstruction in the Door Track: Check the door track for any debris, dirt, or foreign objects that may be blocking the door from closing fully. Clean the track and remove any obstructions.
  2. Broken or Misaligned Door Hinges: If the door hinges are damaged or misaligned, the door may not close properly. Inspect the hinges for any signs of damage or wear and replace them if necessary.
  3. Damaged Latch or Actuator: The latch or actuator that holds the door in place may be damaged or malfunctioning, preventing the door from closing properly. Inspect the latch and actuator for any signs of damage and replace them if necessary.
  4. Dead Battery: If the battery in your Dodge Grand Caravan is weak or dead, the electronic functions of the sliding door may not work properly. Check the battery and replace it if necessary.
  5. Faulty Door Control Module: The sliding door may be controlled by a door control module, which may be faulty or damaged. Have the control module tested and replaced if necessary.
In any case, it's recommended that you take your vehicle to a certified mechanic or dealership to diagnose and fix the issue, especially if you are unable to get the door closed manually.

Test the door by manually opening and closing it and seeing how it feels. If it's hanging up at some point it could be something in the track or just may need the rollers Lube
