A few weeks ago my left back tire blew out on the highway and tread slapped my wheel weld - from then on my left sliding door wouldnt open - it would unlatch but not go back. this was due to the interlock that keeps the door from opening if your feul door is open. i reached up under the partial mudflap closest to the door and found the module. Its white plastic about 2 or 3 inches big connected to a cable - cant miss it - it has a large black switch about 1 inch long and half an inch wide - i simply pressed this black switch til it clicked and released the door. opened fine. until i closed it and tried again. the switch had engaged. I have no way of lifting my van as a single mother of two toddlers - a real fix is out of the question rght now. So I used good ol duck tape and taped that switch down. Works like a charm now :)
