We have an 05 sienna and like everyone every winter the side sliding doors freeze.
Sienna sliding door stuck.
We can think of a few common reasons.
If you pull the handle on the inside or outside it doesn t open the door it behaves just like it is locked.
The electric motor s circuit will become overloaded and this will trip the fuse and prevent the door from being closed entirely.
The door is supposed to unlatch first before it triggers the motor to pull it open.
If you push the open button inside the car or on the fob you can hear the motor try to open but the door doesn t budge and the motor stops after a second.
The sliding door latch is not working see the picture of the latch unit.
Last night i sprayed everything with silicone spray with no luck.
The automatic sliding passenger door on my 2005 toyota sienna won t open.
At first the door won t work properly.
When your sienna side door won t close one possibility is a circuit overload.
Latch motor failure sometimes the side door will struggle to open when you press the button to automatically open it.
Frayed cable the cable in the side door is prone to fraying and then breaking.
