Hi All.  my sliding door opens if i hold on to the handle for a few seconds, if I just quickly pull the door handle it seems like the latch is not releasing before the motor kicks in.. and therefore door wont open.  The motor assembly works ok.   the other side works as it should.  Any ideas?

Hi, I have this same issue, did you happen to resolve it at all? 

Hi  Jacksonlaws ,no I have not fixed it yet, although the door still works , but just got to hold on to the door handle a couple of seconds longer than normal.

This little circular black box is your culprit, for releasing the door prior to it sliding open.

thanks for that Mattie i shall look in to it.👍

Hi All  Further to my problem with the sliding door where you had to hold the door handle open to unlock it before the motor kicks in and also would not open from the remote button on dash.   Thanks to mattiewhoo for suggested the black circular box.  It was indeed the little motor inside this unit which was faulty.  I managed to get a replacement motor from Digikey (Part no Pan14ee12aa1).     £19 inc 2 days delivery from USA.      The part numbers on matties post 6937058011 are not for this part but the mechanical door lock as photo.  😀
