A year ago i repaired 2004 toyota sienna passenger side power sliding door problem.
Toyota sienna automatic door cable broke.
I believe the root cause is one of two things or both.
I replaced parts and everything.
Toyota sienna sliding door cable sub assembly the sliding door sub assembly center hinge assembly fuel door pin and hinge will be covered for 10 years following the date of the final judgment order.
If you re going to keep your sienna buy the good kit with a new spool.
It was a lock release system failure.
Chances are it s because the cable assembly is damaged.
1 the replacement cable was of insufficient quality 2 and or the spool was compressed or compromised during the initial failure.
You can replace the cable assembly yourself even if you have limited mechanical skills.
The sienna side door cable is prone to fraying snapping and more.
The cable in the side door is prone to fraying and then breaking.
When your sienna side door won t close one possibility is a circuit overload.
Closer inspection showed that the cable beneath the window on which the door mechanism slides had lost its protective plastic coating and the braided steel cable was fraying.
In this situation the best thing to do is to replace the cable.
No warning just bang dead.
Have you determined that your cable assembly is damaged and it s the reason your side door isn t opening or closing.
One of the threads.
