2008 T&C power doors wont work with handles outside
2008 town and country both L & R power sliding doors won't power open with the outside door handle. They will open by manually pulling the door or under power with a FOB, door jamb switches or overhead switches.
Any ideas??

Thanks! It was a bit confusing when it said "opened manually". Appreciate the clarification. I've had several vans of various brands and years that did power open with the outside handle so I was expecting it.
