Hi, i forgot to clip on door cables properly now the door won't open. Please guide.
@@MuhammadHassanbrohi Happened to me too once.. You have to take the door panel off again and hook up the cables, there's no other way.
@@CleverFix but the door is not opening how can i remove the panel without opening the door. I watched your video to remove the panel but i forgot to latch the cables in place as shown in your video and accidentally closed the door without checking if it is working.
@@MuhammadHassanbrohi Press unlock on the remote control twice and pull the door handle from the outside.
This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thanks a million.
Awesome, glad it helped!
Great video. My daughter in law has a 2014 Carolla and both the window control and the door lock are not operating. The Toyota dealer said they need to replace the door. My jaw dropped when she told me that. I'm going to fix this for her. Door panels are difficult so this video was worth a lot to me. Thank You!
"Replace the door" doesn't make ANY sense.. If the window control is not working then the metal is fine, the glass is fine.. it's very likely the button assembly.. maybe it rained on it? Did you check the fuses? I'd start with the fuses, then if it's just one door, it could be motor and other things.. if it's multiple doors then something on the circuit. There should be a troubleshooting guide(using voltmeter) in the Toyota Repair Manual at techinfo.toyota.com/ it's like $20 for 3 days though, I don't have access to it. It should have a guide how to test the button assembly once disconnected.
Sorry missed that you said locks are not working alongside the windows, that definitely sounds like a fuse, since the entire circuit is not operating. None of the locks and none of the windows work?
@@CleverFix They are working intermittently. Thanks for the response.
I was picking up groceries and placed my Drivers Liscence in the window for display. It fell inside the window. Luckily this video helped me retrieve it and I didn’t have to wait 4 weeks to get a new one.
Nice! Glad it helped.
Great video, thank you for being thorough not skipping any steps. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!

Çok güzel olmuş
nice brother
Very, very helpful. Thanks for posting this video. Also the dealership wanted $200 plus for the part, picked it up at Ace Auto Salvage on S. 43rd St in Milwaukee, WI. for $50 plus tax.
They always come through! Gotta love the south side of MKE.
Good jobe
Thanks 👌🏽👌🏽
Thanks man the one connector was kicking my ass. Couldn’t figure out the clip
Thanks very much 😀
You’re welcome 😊
excellent
Thanks!
thank you!!
You're welcome.
This video was simple and easy to do. I tried to fix my speaker because it stopped working. Opened the inside up and there was water in the connection. Design flaw with the connector right on top of the speaker and water easily penetrates it.
Glad you got the door panel removed. New 6.5" speakers can be very cheap, so if you keep having problems, check out Amazon.
Thank you very much.
Welcome 😊
New video yay
I Know 😊
Vary good velog ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you again. I'm thinking of putting insulation(car deadening not quit sure how it's pronounced in English) on the front side doors and the whole trunk. It will make my Toyota corolla quiter. How you done that?
You're welcome. Yes I have done that in the past, not on this car. I used b-quiet Extreme.. see here: www.b-quiet.com/collections/extreme It was good and helped to be quieter for sure, but most of all it kept the car warmer in the winter, maybe because of the reflective foil.
Hey man!
Great Video!
My 2014 corolla's door lock shows the red unlocked indicator but the door is actually locked and does not budge either way.
Will open the door panel and try to figure out what's wrong.
Thanks.
Which door? Rear or front? Did you figure it out?
What if the thing for the window bented ?
Hi! Nice job.For removing the electric windows switches only for replace them or service them, is it neccesary to remove the door panel ? or I can just pull up the arm rest and then unclip the windows switches ?
That's great to hear. In case it keeps happening, some dielectric grease inside the connector should keep it from corroding. Check out: ruclips.net/video/C2ywDdvd06I/видео.html Dielectric grease is not conductive, but it doesn't insulate the connection. I've used it with good results on my battery terminals.
How similar is this procedure to a 2009 10th gen corolla? I can't find a guide for my car so I'll take what I can get.
Is this it? ruclips.net/video/wXL7fiAIGj4/видео.html
Hello! Thank you for the tutorial. I sprayed WD40 Silicone inside the door panel while the window was down (put the nozzle through the gap). My question is since WD40 got inside the door panel, will it cause any damage to the speaker or any parts of the door panel? I did for all the doors. Windows feel tight as they go up and down. Please let me know. Thank you.
WD40 shouldn't do any damage. If the windows feel tight you can use silicone spray in the rubber seals on the edges.
@@CleverFix Thanks a lot for your help.
Thank you! I will try to replace the speakers because they all blew up for some reason ☹️
What is "Blew up" ? The cone separated and sounds bad? Or stopped working?
@@CleverFix Yes the core separated, i think they used some cheap glue or something, I tried to glue the ones from the back without taking the whole cover out but it was kind of hard, has this happened in your Corolla?
@@theblukatlife No, both of mine on the front lost connection because of corrosion. They're very low quality, so I'm not surprised they separated. Almost any new speaker will be better, so I'm actually happy they stopped working, because I have much better sound now.
Thanks you help me a lot :)
I've been wanting to take my door panel apart for the longest, it sound like some cables or parts are coming loose behind my passenger front window panel. Sounds like metal on glass when I'm driving or if the door is shut too hard.
Do you have an idea of what may be causing the sound?
No idea sorry.. but once it's off completely, the door can be shut without it to see what's moving.. there won't be a door handle to open it from the inside once the panel is off, so either pull on the end of the cable, or keep the window open to pull the outside door handle.. or have someone outside to open it .
It's okay, thank your response and the step-by-step process!@@CleverFix
It looks easy but I’m not sure if I can do it myself the wiring system is the scary part any suggestions to be successful on this thingy? Any help would be most appreciated thank you.
Just follow the video. Yes it's a bit harder than it looks.. you have to pull quite hard on some clips, they don't let go so easily.. once you have the buttons out You'll get the harness out for sure if you press on that clip.. I had a hard time before because I didn't know about that trick with the screwdriver. It won't let go easily if it's not pressed.. worst case you have to put it back without being able to release it? I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but you don't have to remove the wire if you just want to get to the speaker for example.
@@CleverFix I bought my car in a auction and the window roll down halfway I want to see if there’s anything that is stopping from going all the way down it goes up and down it just doesn’t go all the way down just halfway
@@efrainhernandez2255 you don't need to remove the harness for that. You can even use a snake cam and put it in beside the glass to see, but it won't be very helpful, better see once the panel is out. something must be jamming for sure.. the track or something in the way.
I’m gonna follow the video and see what’s inside that is blocking the window from going down all the way thanks for your help most appreciated.
Is it a similar procedure for the back panels?
Nevermind, just saw you have a vid for the rear. Thanks so much
Lol he talks so calm like yeah very simple
Door on the front passenger side won't open from inside or outside. How do I access the panel. What do you recommend.
Did you manage to get it open? I'd recommend a locksmith, they should be able to get it open by rolling down the window and sliding something inside without damage to the panel. Taking the panel out while the door is closed is impossible because the dashboard is in the way.
This exact thing happened to me too! Were you able to open it?? I feel like I’ve tried everything but nothing is working
Someone put an ad flyer paper on my door window. I accidentally rolled down the window and the stupid ad paper fell inside when I rolled window down. I don't feel great knowing that a piece of paper is in there deep. How can I get it out? If I follow the instructions in this video for my 2019 Corolla, will be able to get it out?
If you take the door panel out you can take it out easily.. if not, put the window all the way down, and look through the seals, you get a bit of space to see.. but not sure how you can grab it.. maybe a coat hanger with something very sticky on the end like double sided tape.. sure, if there's a paper there it may get wet, and cause it to rust faster.
@@CleverFix your video was very helpful. I took out the bloddy flyer. 👍👍👍
Why did you take out the window controls, and arm rest? just pull the connector from the window controls and be done.
I can't remove the connector on mine unless I press the release clip down and it's impossible by hand. I won't be able to film it if I didn't remove it to show the release tab.. if you can sneak a tool behind there like a 90 degree point tool and manage to get it to press the tab you can surely skip the arm rest removal part. It's a struggle getting the connector out, so in case you can't get to that release clip and get it out, then taking out the arm rest will surely work and it's not that much more work.
Would replacing the entire door be much more difficult than this or just a few more steps?
I've never done it, There are 6 bolts on the door side to take it off. The only problem will be getting the harness out of the door, through the hole. The hole is quite small, but hopefully the connectors can come out through it. The big connector in the video will likely go through sideways, I don't think the other connectors should be very big but you'll have to check... there will be the door locks connector and power window one you'll have to disconnect.
@@CleverFix thank you so much! Someone gave me a big dent backing into me at a supermarket parking lot. It occurred to me, it may be cheaper to replace the door than to try to get the big dent repaired.
Thanks again, even though you've never done it, I think you covered everything in your reply. Much appreciated.
@@neorock6135 Ask around, you might find someone who will fix the dent cheaper than buying a new door.. also with a new door from another car, the color may not match perfectly, because paint fades with time. But neither will a dent repair, they'll have to re-paint the entire door.. Yeah, tough choice! Good luck.
@@CleverFix Wow, so glad you said that...I always forget that can happen with replacement/repaints. I was planning on checking with a body shop anyway. Unless it's a huge diff in price, I'll prob just go with the repair. Hopefully any repaint is imperceivable. Thank you again for your help 🙏
Have you had any issues with your power doors? My power doors on my 2015 don’t always unlock all my doors. I read this is common with this generation Corolla. However, I’m not sure of the root of the problem.
No never had any issues. The problem might in the unlock/lock motor or the wiring.. You have to test it out, find the one that doesn't always work, remove the panel, then hook up a voltmeter to it, and do a few lock/unlocks and see if it receives power. Then if it does receive power but fails to actuate you can know the motor is at fault. It might be hard to diagnose if it happens very rarely though.
Here is a link to the passenger side actuator: amzn.to/32rpGgC and driver side: amzn.to/3bWGvmK .
Thanks for replying. I’m going to give it a try before taking it in. Thanks for the link as well.
And the back panel?
Here it is: ruclips.net/video/6qYKpYCpyU8/видео.html
Where are the links to the materials
Sorry about that, The tools are linked up in the description now. 😊
@@CleverFix lol it’s my fault 🤦🏽♀️ I was watching the speaker video and it jumped to this video. Not realizing it wasn’t the same video. My mistake I’m sorry I love your videos keep them coming ❤️
@@Thickracingchick Okay that makes sense, Thanks for the feedback!
I suppose there is no much difference on Auris
Thank you, it was helpful.
