I took the mazda5 in for an oil change last week and i told the service advisor about the problem.
Mazda5 sliding door lock problem.
Take the door panel off per the video.
While driving 35 mph the rear driver side sliding door opened independently.
Our sliding doors haven t had a problem opening it s the closing that is the issue.
We currently have a similar problem on our 2002 mpv front door locks are fine sliding door locks are iffy rear door lock just basically doesn t work anymore.
Actually none of the mazda5 models have power doors or a feature where the door closes by itself.
Get an upfront price.
The problems for all three doors started at about the same time.
I haven t really tried to address the issue yet but i did find the likely culprit.
It is easier to disconnect the wire and connector that go to the power window.
On the rear of this actuator body there is the electrical connector and just above.
It s covered under warranty.
Find the plastic milk carton white box that has an actuator rod going to the door lock slider.
The contact attempted to close the door but the sliding door failed to latch.
The dealer is merely selling a defective car supplied by.
Our certified mobile mechanics come to you 7 days a week between 7 am and 9 pm.
When i picked up the car the guy said he had ordered something called an actuator for the sliding door problem.
Mazda 5 power door locks are not working inspection at your home or office.
The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that both rear door latches needed to be replaced.
That feature would really help with the latching problem of the sliding doors.
The contact owns a 2009 mazda 5.
The failure recurred on numerous occasions.
