Fix Broken Door Cable on 2011 (and up) Sienna

- I was able to fix the door cable on my 2011 Sienna minivan. The total cost for the part was about $25 for part number 85015-08010 (right) or 85016-08010 (left) "Linkage Assembly" from OEM Parts Source. Just be sure to pay attention to if you need the left or right. I know have an extra for when the other one breaks :) I think this will work for the 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.
**UPDATE: Sure enough the cable on the other side broke recently. I've posted another video of that repair which shows much more detail step-by-step.
Thanks - like you said, all true. I have limited mechanical skill and I did the repair. Absolutely correct, you do Not need to take out the rear window or the rear interior panel. The key to the small black trim piece by the vent window is that the bottom part pops out directly while the upper attachments are slide type brackets. Pry the lower part up (gently!) to free forward movement then slide the whole thing forward. It will come off. I kinda had a rodeo after I got everything together then I closed it and it locked. I pushed a lot of buttons before I got it opened. I think the proper way is, once the repair is all done, start with the door in the fully open position, then hit the power close button. Also, check the kid lock toggle in the door jam - I flipped (without knowing) that and struggled a bit.
Feels good to skip all the dealership BS / rip offs! Thanks!
As someone who is likely about to have to do this, I really appreciate you sharing your experience. It's already super helpful
Thanks Dan, that's nice of you to say. Good luck, it really is a totally manageable repair.
DUDE you represent the top 1% best of youtube. thanks again and keep it up
This helped tremendously with my repair. Thanks for posting!
For anyone on the fence about this: if you can work a ratcheting wrench, get a good set of plastic pry tools for about $5, and confidently remove the trim pieces (which I found to be the hardest part) you'll be able to do this. I have zero mechanic or handyman skills.
I'm trying to run my 2011 ToySien into the ground also. My cable just broke Sunday, and I'm not paying that hefty amount to repair it. Thanks for taking the steps so we know which direction to go.
This just happened to my 2012 Sienna last week … I’m going to try to fix it myself.
Thanks for this great video! I had a feeling it was a possible DIY to work around dealer costs!! TY!!
Thanks for two great videos! My door cable broke today and I’m already feeling good about having it running again in no time.
Great video you say your not a car guy I am, and what you did increased my confidence, thanks.
Dude, I don’t think you understand how much of an impact your video had on me. Thank you for sharing man. Where did you order the replacement cables from? I’m facing the same issue on both doors. The sleezy dealership around me wants $7,000 to fix it. I laughed in the guy’s face 😂.
Hey Christian, thanks for your kind words. The details for the parts are in the video description. Just google "OEM Parts Source" and you'll get the right store. I hear the price has gone up, but still a bargain compared to $7K!!!!
thanks..my cable just snapped for the 1st time and I gernaly don't like cars but I remodeled my whole basement with RUclips videos lol so I have confidence on tackling this job. I can't believe how much they charge to do that!!
Awesome - thanks for taking the time to make and post this very helpful tutorial. You saved me a boatload of cash. Door is working as good as new. Much appreciated!
Thank you for taking the time to post this, I was able to save my sister $2000!
You are the real MVP!!! Thanks im at the dealership as I type wondering how rhis salesman is saying 1600 with a straight face..
HA! Run Cecelia! Run away fast.
Thanks for posting. Just replaced the drivers side on my wife's 2016 Sienna.
I have to my wife's 2014. how was it?? how long it take you? every home project I tackle I seem to run into a problem at some point in..lol. and I hate working on cars
Thank you for sharing - I really appreciate your explanations and hints.
Thanks for the video. I've been searching as well and most videos refer to the older model Sienna's where the replacement assembly (which includes a new motor) was expensive ($800-$1000) and the labor was pretty intense. It looks like the part on the newer (>=2011) ones is much cheaper (just the cable assembly for ~$30) and also easier to install.
It really was super easy. Once you have the part (for the correct L or R door) it really takes no more than an hour. Good luck!
Thanks for sharing, I fix mine too. This issue was a recall, and my car done at 1/3/2018, It broken within a year.
Thanks for the feedback Derick - I'm so glad it worked well for you.
@@coopersteele The price is about $50 now. Part number 85015-08010 (right, or passenger side ) or 85016-08010 (left or driver side)
Where did you order the replacement cables from?
@@christianbliss6434 www.oempartsource.com/
@@christianbliss6434 I ordered it from local Toyota dealer, they have it in store. Just give them a call and ask.
In spring 2020 toyota issued an extended warranty on this. I have 2011 and it was just replaced by the dealer for free.
Of course! Too late for some of us - hopefully lots of people can take advantage of that.
Man I hope that’s true. I have a 2011 Sienna with this issue and I’m not looking forward to attempting this myself.
I just had this same issue with my cable snapping. Just ordered the part and hoping my husband can replace it!
Good luck Kim, I hope it goes well.
How much did the part cost and what's it called I think this is what just happened to.my van thanks.
Thanks! So glad you posted! Perfect timing!
You are absolutely awesome dude!!! Thank you very much for the info!!!
3 hours labor and $76 parts, it's easy, toyota shops are ripping a lot of people off. I bought one, the guy told me toyota wanted $1000 to fix it. The oem parts I bought in 2022 was $76...if I charged $100 an hour that would only be $376. No its that way every dealership everywhere.
Thanks for video, I lost my bolt to the back bracket for the black cable. Do you happen to know how I can get another one? Or what the size of that bolt is?
Hi Cooper, I have a friend who has a 2011 Toyota Sienna. Both his power sliding doors stopped working and at this point, both doors do not open from inside or outside. Both doors don't work with power or no power (manual).
He went to Toyota, they told him something like $5000 but he doesn't have a lot of money. He is not technical or mechanically inclined but I am. So, I though that maybe I can help him out.
Can you guide me about what parts or tools that I need exactly. and How do I go about it? and, How long should this repair take me to complete?
Any response will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
The exact part numbers are in the video description and everything I have to share from an advice standpoint is in this video or the other one I did on the same subject. Lots of additional advice is available from others in the comments. Good luck!
Thanks man. Saved me some $.
Thanks. Good info on tools needed and the website.
Went to the dealer to get the part and the service dept replaced it for free under a new 10 year unlimited warranty extension. Be sure to ask if you have this issue!
My 2013 Manuel sliding door cables are busted and I haven’t had them open in about a year 🤷🏽♀️
Can you confirm whether the part you ordered comes with the pulley and plastic housing (that attaches to the motor), or just the cables? I need that plastic housing (mine is cracked), and I cannot find a part that comes with that, unless I replace the whole electric motor for a grand.
Hi Andrew, yes it does. Check out my new video I just made, you can see what the part looks like before it goes in. ruclips.net/video/ifk-5pBEuhc/видео.html
Cooper Steele, thanks!!! Found. Comes to a bit more here in Canada with shipping, but still a far cry from the whatever $1600 Toyota would charge me. I never would have found it without the part# either. You are most helpful.
Hi, thanks so much for the video. I want to make sure I'm buying the correct part. LEFT = driver side and RIGHT = passenger side. Can you please confirm? Thanks
If you are in the US, then yes the left side is also the driver side.
thanks for the confirmation 👍
Thank for the video and link for the part! My sienna just had this happen too. Question though, for the back rest window you said an 8mm socket, on mine I have a torx bolt and you were able to get yours out without taking off the window?
Phoenix XVIII yes, I was able to get the braket off without removing the back window. That required the socket (or maybe a torx for you) to be at the end of an extension arm. The extension arm was a little loose and allowed the slightest of bend to get up under the window. If you were trying to do it perfectly "straight on", you'd have to remove the window. I hope that makes sense.
Cooper Steele I actually saw in your follow up video that the cover is on with clips, last night. I should have a regular bolt then too. That cover was really perplexing to me to get access to the bolt. Thank you for the other video.
Hello, can you help me. I want or know the length of the red wire and the blue wire. Thank you
My cable just recently broke and I can’t open the door at all. I think the line is all crunched up at the bottom of the door. I haven’t tried yet, but where I have seen older videos that show there is a screw on the bottom right of the panel and it seems like you have to be able to open the door to remove that screw. Does the 2011 have that screw? If so is there a way to get to it with the door being shut?
"Not responsible for damage...etc" but I think what I ended up doing in the same situation was just cutting the cable where I could see it up under the back window. I just used a pair of wire cutters and snipped it. Then I could open the door and take the tangled mess out.
Thanks for your video , is it work for Sienna 2009 ? if not , do you have any idea about ho can i get the cable only for both side
thank you so much
Did you ever have to reset the motor? I did the pulley replacement with no issues, but when the auto button is hit it just beeps twice. And yes I did make sure the power switch is on.
Can you help with me to fix it . i have no enough tools to do done job . ?
It would be nice if you showed the entire process
I try to be as nice as I can Brian. Take a look at my other video, it shows the process in a little more detail start to finish for the other side.
Nice Video. I am wondering if your door was stuck closed (as mine is) and if you removed the inside door panel without opening the door. Thanks!
No, you can't remove the door panel unless you can open the door to access the screw on the side of the panel. Click on my profile and see my other video on the door cable replacement which goes into better detail on each step. My door was never stuck because the cable had snapped. My possible suggestion would be to place the door in manual mode, and then cut the cable under the back window so you can open the door.
Did you get your door unstuck/opened, even in manual mode mine will not open
@@Daniel-zl8jj One possible solution would be to cut the cable if its not already broken, that should allow you to open the door manually.
Thank you Cooper. I believe I found a solution on this video, ruclips.net/video/pOXduQZTuUc/видео.html The other video shows the cable wrapped up in the housing mechanism located in the door, so first off with the door panel and then remove the cable housing, at least that's what i gained from this video which also had a sliding door that wouldn't open after the cable broke
Can you open the door if that cable is broken?
Yes, but you need to shut off the automatic opening and do it manually.
Same problem with my 2014 , what tools you need besides the ones to remove the trim ? It would make it a lot easier if I remove the seat altogether ?
I was able to do it with a Philips head, a socket set, and an impact driver (cordless home improvement kind). I needed an extension for the impact driver so the socket could reach up under the class to remove that clip behind there. There might also have been a star-drive in there somewhere. Without an impact driver, a regular socket wrench with an extension arm should work. If you are able to remove the seat completely, I would absolutely recommend doing that to make things easier. I have not been able to remove mine for some time. Good luck!
Cooper Steele thank you!
Thanks for your video
Can you share where you got the part? I'm having trouble finding it. I have the exact model and same problem.
Part number 85015-08010 (right) or 85016-08010 (left) "Linkage Assembly" from OEM Parts Source. OEM Part Source is the name of the store, if you do a Google search for "OEM Part Source" it should be the first result. Good luck.
Ordered, thank you!
Cooper Steele x
Just went to open the left door on our 2011 and it wouldnt open and popped then theres a cable hanging out.
Aw man, that stinks! Well I hope this video and my other video on the same subject will help give you the confidence to attempt the repair yourself. Good luck!
@@coopersteele yep but, having said that sure that the dealer wants too much for the repair have a couple of other good mechanics who can probably fix it if I dont try myself.
Is the door still working ok? Looks like we need to do this, found the snapped cable tonight☹️
Stacy Bates yes! Its been about a week and so far so good. Five kids in and out all week with no problems.
Thanks! So glad you posted! Perfect timing! Part ordered:)
hi where is the fail safe trigger for the car
Hi, I'm not really sure what a fail-safe trigger is when talking about cars. I'm not much of a mechanic, but I'm happy to help if I can and you'd like to elaborate.
Where can you get the $25 replacement part?
Hi Alex! The source and part numbers are in the video description above. Do a google search for "OEM Parts Source" and you should find the right place. Good luck!
Thanks for the video. I do have similar issue with my 2011 Sienna with passenger sliding door. Did you mean left for driver side and right for passenger side? How long it takes to do the job? Thanks
Yes, left for driver and right for passenger. The total job should take about 1-2 hours depending on speed and comfort level. Good luck!
Thanks a lot for your reply. Much appreciated!
Is it snowing inside that van? Lol.
What site did you buy it from?
Allan Bz google "OEM parts source", and the first result should be the store. The part numbers are in the video description.
