We have an 05 sienna and like everyone every winter the side sliding doors freeze.
Sienna sliding door stuck.
Latch motor failure sometimes the side door will struggle to open when you press the button to automatically open it.
Most common problem is the motor of the latch fails.
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.
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 automatic sliding passenger door on my 2005 toyota sienna won t open.
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.
The sliding door latch is not working see the picture of the latch unit.
At first the door won t work properly.
Last night i sprayed everything with silicone spray with no luck.
Frayed cable the cable in the side door is prone to fraying and then breaking.
