Mazda 5 Sliding Door Won T Open

Repeat weekly in cold weather for optimal results.

Mazda 5 sliding door won t open.

The outside handle literally came off in my hand. The problem child is the driver side sliding rear door. A temporary fix is to spray grease into the rear locking mechanism in door not the latch on the van body and saturate it so that the latch mechanism stays slippery. For a while it was hit miss and sometimes it would lock and other times not.

It won t open from the outside or the inside after a recent snow ice storm. Opening door on mazda5 when child lock is engaged and outside handle is broken. I am trying to figure out how to open my wife s passenger rear sliding door on her 2007 mazda5. Finally it just quit doing anything when either the key fob lock and unlock or the internal front door lock and unlock buttons where hit.
