Not all sliding doors on bongo's close automatically. :?
and its only the last inch or so that the mechanism takes over to tighten the door shut .
might be worth checking fuse no 17 15amp ,you never know might be an easy fix. [-o<
Lost without my Bongo.

mine was the same never worked since i bought it ,striped of the door panel just to make sure it had it in the first place which it did, i used a whole can of spray lube into the latch area into both sides and after some tooing and frooing with the door and it eventually started to work. good luck.

My slider stopped working a few weeks ago. After a bit of investigation i found the contacts on the door and pillar had become dirty (The ones that move in and out like trumpet keys!). Gave 'em a clean up with a bit of garryflex and bingo, working like a new one! :D

Might be worth a try.

This is interesting - on my 96 Freda 2 of the spring-loaded "organ stops" on the body are fixed I wasn't sure if they did anything but would like to know if they should be spring loaded like the others? If they are I'll try to persuade them to work again!

A couple of them don't move. I think they might be fixed to detect when it gets to the end location.

My view is it's nothing but a pain, just draws from your battery every time you close it.

I honestly think you're better off just closing it manualy, no down side to that.
Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.

I think the Honda StepWagon has a fully electric door so you only have to push the handle & it opens all the way up.
