Charles, your video was the only I found so far that showed how to get a stuck door to slide. Our door was seized and would not open due the jammed cable binding on the motor drive mechanism. Thanks for this, your jammed door fix is the best!
Thank you for this video! My 2011 sienna cable snapped and the door would not operate at all yesterday. I had no clue how to get the first screw out of the panel. I broke out my Grandfathers old counter grinder and shaved down a bit. Worked like a charm. After that It was smooth sailing. Replaced the cable and door works perfectly. Truly amazing.
Thank you!! Your video was spot on and extremely helpful. I had the same problem, with the door stuck closed and had to fashion a bit/T25 to remove door panel screw from the side using 1/4” wrench. Removed the inside panel to access the door wire spool connected to the motor. Door works manually now and awaiting the new part.
Much appreciated. video really helped me know what I would be getting into and gave me courage to fix our 2011 Sienna XLE. I had the exact same issue; door was jammed shut because cable broke and unspooled within the mechanism. was able to get door opened and working manually. then purchased cable part from dealer $52 … and it installed without issue. thank you for this video!!
Thanks for the video, I installed mine yesterday but I had took off that little white plastic cover and it was a big mistake, the wire came out so I had to order a new one. Guys leave that white plastic cover on. Great video
So I did both doors starting with passenger, and due to the video it was pretty much exactly like this. My driver side was having problems before but still opened. I replaced the cable Mech and it power opens but won’t close. Actuated but just gets held up in back locked position. Gonna research a bit and let you know what happpens. Any one has suggestions I’m all ears
You are amazing 🤩…. Thank you so much for your video… i have same problem right now …door stock but now I know why… it took me 3 days to RUclips it… now i have to order cable and have fun with it 🤣🤣🤣
What happens if the black and silver cables come out of the wheel? I ordered a replacement part and I noticed that the wheel wasn't attached. I was able to get it back on but I didn't know if there was a certain amount of cable that needs to be spooled into the wheel... Thanks.
Yep, Lighting is always a struggle. Unfortunately I don't always get to work during the daytime... sometimes it's at night which makes the lighting even more of a challenge. It's something I'm always working on.
@@CharlesAndCars I am planning to buy 2011 sienna, it has 110 k miles. I like to replace the transmission oil and filter ! Any suggestion or advice, please. Currently I have 2004 camery 2.4 L. It has 253k miles. I brought in 2011 when it has 62k miles. Last year I had replaced all 4 shocks( full assembly), transmission oil and filter, & all liquids flush. Few days ago on 11-11-19 I had replace all 4 breaks, transmission oil , catalytic converter , O2 sensor , thermostat sensor, temperate sensor. VALVOLINE high miles OIL 10w-40. & spark plugs. After that cars is flying. It soo light. But only thing is It don't have pickup like other cars. I have all documents since I bought the car, No accident till now.
No filter to change in that vehicle. I didn't do a fluid change on that particular vehicle. The dealer did that work. I don't believe there's a dipstick on that car.
I have the same exact problem just happend this week. I have been trying to get to the screw without removing the seatbelt trim. I shaved the screw bit down like you recommended by still having a tough time. I'm going to keep at it but what I want to know it where did you get your replacement part from and how much did it run you?, if you don't mind me asking
Please tell me, my door opens automatically, but doesn’t want to close. It’s as if something is holding it and doesn’t allow it to close automatically, so you have to close it manually. What could be the problem? Has anyone encountered such a problem?
Hard to say exactly what it is. I would look at the cable mechanism and possibly the rollers that the door rides on. The rollers are known for going bad as well.
Thank you so much. My 2016 sienna had same problem. Broken cable and door won’t open. Dealer wanted $1800 to repair. I am going to give a try to fix my self. I wonder if this is a common problem. Toyota should build better .
@@CharlesAndCars I just fixed my sienna 2011, it tooks me about 3hours to take off all locking system and clean from rust, and lubricate with copper lubricant. Right now it's working just like new. Car was sitting for 1.5year outside, that's why, I think, door get stuck. Thanks again.
Thanks for making the video. I can understand your lighting struggles. I bought an LED light that screws into a single light bulb socket but blasts the garage with 8000 lumens of LED light.

Thank you so much for making this video. I appreciate it more than you know.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks, I'll give it a try and see if I can get this to work. I'll reply to give your channel a boost and get the algorithms working in your favour.
What happens if the black and silver cables come out of the wheel? I ordered a replacement part and I noticed that the wheel wasn't attached. I was able to get it back on but I didn't know if there was a certain amount of cable that needs to be spooled into the wheel... Thanks.
I wish you could fix my because I don't have that much strength
Nice job. Thanks for the video. That's helpful.
Glad it helped
If you just took off the cable assembly would it still work in manual mode?
YES WELL DONE! Thank you so much for this!
glad it helped

Please,

It's a "sealed" system on that Sienna. It can be done with a machine through the transmission oil coil lines, but it's not a simple one as some are.
Thanks, helps a lot!

Only place I've found it reasonable is Ebay...
I was able to get the parts for 26$ each side at OEM part source .com
@@michaelsciarini5167 any link for the part? I need to order one
Yours wont open mine wont close idk if they have the same issue thats preventing the door to open or close.
Hello, can you help me. I want or know the length of the red wire and the blue wire. Thank you
By any chance Do you have proper name or part number… i have to order same passenger side cable…. Not able to find correct one 😢
I think this is it (check to make sure) www.ebay.com/itm/163305745913
I added this new part, the door won't latch at the end of the close, beeps instead. Any ideas?
www.siennachat.com/threads/2-beeps-from-interior-sliding-door-driver-side.36897/
What’s the part called that I need to order
Power Sliding Door Motor Bracket or Sliding door cable assembly
Exactly the problem I have right now.
Please tell me, my door opens automatically, but doesn’t want to close. It’s as if something is holding it and doesn’t allow it to close automatically, so you have to close it manually. What could be the problem? Has anyone encountered such a problem?
Hard to say exactly what it is. I would look at the cable mechanism and possibly the rollers that the door rides on. The rollers are known for going bad as well.
Any idea how to go about this if it’s the rollers.. tried everything else. Still stuck.. won’t budge an inch!
Where did you get the cable from?
dealer part … cost $52 in northern virginia
Thank you so much. My 2016 sienna had same problem. Broken cable and door won’t open. Dealer wanted $1800 to repair. I am going to give a try to fix my self.
I wonder if this is a common problem. Toyota should build better .
How to make sure passenger sliding is in manual?
If I remember correctly there's a switch on the dashboard to the left of the steering wheel to put the sliding doors into manual mode.
Fantastic vid... Just finished mine up and followed right along. Thanks!
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much
No problem
Perfect! Thx for video!!!

Why does everyone who does this job do it in the dark?
Yeah, It's a tough one to film. If/when I get another one I'll shoot it again.
Charles And Cars thanks.
