"... it TRIES to unlock..." is the 'key' here...Since we know a sliding door will not open until it is unlocked, I would investigate the locking mechanism.See "Related Questions" below for some specifics - note the one about the door ajar problem has lots of information about the door lock actuators too.

Very common problem with Windstars.The problem is more than likely the sliding door. Open the door and spray WD40 on the door latches until you can move them with your fingers easily.There are two latches on the sliding door. One is towards the front where it meets the vehicle when the door is closed. The other is on the back of the door.After you spray both latches open and close the sliding door a couple of times.It's *all* the doors that suffer this false door ajarproblem.Review the "Related Questions" below for much more about dealing with them...
