- Turn overhead console on/off switch to OFF position. Inspect cable attachment on power sliding door center roller hinge. Check for missing clip. Check that clip eyelet is seated over hinge pin and tab is seated behind pin. If cable attachments are okay, go to next step. If cable attachments are not okay, repair cable attachment. If retaining clip is missing, install a new retaining clip. If cable is damaged or broken, replace power sliding door actuator drive assembly.
