a can of wd40 might help you to grease the depending components up. as well the lock. if this does not work a handbook of the model does wonders since the steps are described there. auto shops have these. is it the lock or the door itself ? if the lock is the case you would have to take off the panels on the doors on the inside to be able to grease up/reach the stuck parts. the panels are usually attached to the door with plastic plugs. so you might use a screwdriver and not scratch your paint too hard and slip between the panel on the door and the door itself to find the points which is not hard to do and then pop them out, take it off and you can check on the inside of the door...... You have to remove the inside door panels. follow the door mechanism from the front to the back (You won't be able to see it at the back) What I did was to cut a small hole (1-2 inches) near the back of the door to be able to see the rod. I found that were the rod connects to an "L" shaped part the "L" was bent outwards (toward the outside of the door). By bending it back towards the inside of the door I was able to get the door open.

How do you fix 1994 ford Aerostar van sliding door if it doesn't open?

To fix a 1994 Ford Aerostar van sliding door that doesn't open, first check the door's track for any obstructions or debris that may be blocking its movement. Inspect the door latch mechanism for any signs of damage or malfunction; lubricate it with penetrating oil if it appears stuck. Additionally, ensure that the child safety lock isn't engaged, as this can prevent the door from opening. If these steps don't resolve the issue, you may need to inspect the door's wiring or consult a professional for further diagnosis.
