The issues with Mercedes Sprinter sliding doors typically stem from a track alignment problem. These doors operate using a complex system involving a motor, chain drive, and gears to smoothly open and close while securely locking in place. Regardless of your driving style, the doors are engineered to stay locked securely. If you're experiencing a rattling noise, fixing it is simple. Clean the lower track where the door slides using a dry rag, then apply white lithium grease spray generously along the track to eliminate the noise. For hard-to-reach spots, use a thin spray tube. Don't forget to also tend to the door latch or wheel that moves along the track.

    I am interested in determining which fuse is responsible for controlling the sensor. If you reside in an area with heavy snowfall, the van may mistake snow for a white line and engage the brakes. Similarly, if you are driving through deep snow, various sensors can trigger a shutdown. I reside on a mountain in Alaska and must emphasize that this vehicle is not suitable for this harsh environment. Hence, it is up for sale.
