Electric side door just clicking

[Bin Bongoed]

I've done a search on this, printed off a Lush diagram which is gibberish to me. I could do with it working since my wife cannot slam the door hard enough to make it close.

The closing mechanism just clicks, I have cleaned the contacts but no joy. If it's clicking it must be making contact anyway. I saw a reference to a belt coming off, but cannot see any belt on the drawing. I also found a reference to a new closing motor costing £1000, which sounds frightening. Advice would be welcome, but since my technical abilities are limited, I may struggle if it is very technical.

Problem solved!

After cleaning contacts, poking around and slamming the door 30 times:

1. Post problem on the Forum.
2. Give up and clean van.
3. Start engine, try door.

Hey presto, door works!

The forum wins again. Hope this helps others!

Oh, was that it! Everything helps, thanks.

I did wonder if it was the shock effect of cleaning the van.

Coulda been, maybe it got scared & thought you were cleaning it to sell it & thought it'd better start working right
