Thank you, Chris! My door handle stopped functioning a week ago, and it turns out that the blue cable had slipped forward out of place. I pushed it back and it snapped into place and now the door works fine. Appreciate the video!
Yes… and don’t get me started on having to slam the side door. It’s a work truck, I know. But damn.. I feel like I’m gonna break something. My current Promaster is at 240,000 miles. Nothing but brakes, tires,, amd oil changes so far. But slamming those doors. I’m still shocked I haven’t had to replace anything 😳
Great question. I didn’t start doing tranny flushes ‘till about 70k miles (on the advice of internet technicians).. I do the transmission service once a year . Just because it’s easy to remember (January). My oil change guy charges me $25.. I think ? It might be more. Whatever.. either way, I’m thinking it’s good insurance. After year two, I’ve done all the oil and filter changes myself . But I do the tranny flush at a local service station.
So in Europe we have these van does the exact same thing mine did it wind took the door and shut it with an almighty bang and cable popped out there called citreon relay purgeot boxer Vauxhall do them I think aswell
Hi, have this same problem, i can not open the door from outside, the van has been build for grooming, so , i cant access the rear door from inside either, is it any way to disassemble the door from outside? My generator and vacuum is inside between the rear door and a wall insidd the van. Please hellppp. Tks in advance
These doors are clearly built with very cheap components. Unfortunately, your best option would be a dealer. I don't know of any way to open it from the outside when it is jammed like that.
@@baloo217 My rear door is intermittently problematic in the same way. The Central locking via the key fob will lock it, but doesn't always unlock it. When this happens i've found you can use the key in the keyhole and slightly twist it and you'll hear the mechanism click. the door will then open from the outside. Hope this helps....

Mine too, except mine keeps falling out and cant' open from outside, only inside
Thank You for this!! That Thumb on top of the handle trick seems to work the best for me as well. Appreciate the tip..
Good stuff. Hopefully, this is the issue I have with the rear door at the moment. Seems like an easy enough fix. Thank you.
Is it typical to feel like I am about to break my Promaster rear door mechanism every time I open it?

@@cwheremonster8870 Wow 240k amazing. What about transmission flushes?

Hello have a grooming van and my rear door is not opening How did you solve your problem?
I have three promaster. My 2018 rear door handle stoped opening. And the other day my 2020 drivers side door will not close.
