Buzzing when door is opened

[Jimquested]

Hi, I’ve just started getting a buzzing when a door is opened in the van (T6). It can last from 30secs - 1min+ and seems to becoming from near the speaker just to the right of the steering wheel but I don’t think it is the speaker. The van has been converted to a camper a few years ago but no electrical work has been done recently. Any ideas out there? Thanks!

Are they power open/close doors? I think that area is where the door motor actually is.

There's a thread here on that motor that might give some context:

Thread 'Electric power-closing sliding door motor'

3 Feb 2021

Hi guys. Can anyone help. Took rear quarter trim off t6 kombi to sound deadening rear panel and noticed on both sides water is getting via electric slide door motor. Have checked with tps and looked on etka but other than a cover that is bonded in there doesn't seem to be a seal. Surely there must be a seal to stop water going in rear quarter. Has anyone else had this issue and can stwef me in right path

Thanks for the info. It seems to do it with the driver and manual sliding door. I’ve not tried it with the passenger. Thanks.

did you solve this? I've just started getting a similar thing on my T6.1. Seems to sound like a solenoid buzzing from the engine bay, down on the passenger side somewhere. Happens for 5-10 seconds when the doors are opened. thx

No, I never got it sorted. It’s be fine for the last few months and disappeared and then started again about 2 weeks ago.

Sounds like a similar issue except mine is on the drivers side. It does no matter which door is opened.
