Sienna Sliding Door Wont Open But Tries To

This happens when the power sliding door isn t able to latch on properly due to something blocking it.

Sienna sliding door wont open but tries to.

Here s a video of me demonstrating the problem. Toyota sienna vehicles with this problem. Passenger door ended u not opening from the inside and outside so i decided to figure out what happened. Migrated this video over from my other channel.

Toyota sienna sliding door will not unlatch with remote youtube. Soo i opened it. The outside door handle goes dead and every other way of opening the door results in the door trying to open even further and then stops. The door opens fine using keyless door button interior and exterior door handles and overhead buttons.

All of this is pointing to the motor inside the door that essentially pulls the handle for you when you remotely open the door. Turns out a very small piece broke off that was prev. However on occasion the door will not close once its open. I wind up having to manually close the door.

When your doors dont slide automatically when hitting the buttons there are a few troubleshooting options available for you. So the sliding door on my sienna got stuck and would not open from inside nor outside. The electric motor s circuit will become overloaded and this will trip the fuse and prevent the door from being closed entirely. This should work with 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008.
