If your 2000 Windstar's sliding door won't open, first check for any obstructions in the door track or around the door itself. Ensure the child safety lock is not engaged, as this can prevent the door from opening. Additionally, inspect the door's power mechanism and fuses to see if there is an electrical issue. If these steps don't resolve the problem, consider consulting a professional mechanic for further diagnosis.
