Sienna sliding door stuck.

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. We have an 05 sienna and like everyone every winter the side sliding doors freeze. The electric motor s circuit will become overloaded and this will trip the fuse and prevent the door from being closed entirely.

When your sienna side door won t close one possibility is a circuit overload. We can think of a few common reasons. Last night i sprayed everything with silicone spray with no luck. I broke the handle off last winter and got the opportunity to figure out how to replace it which wasn t all that difficult and sure enough today it s 6f outside and the door is stuck.

Frayed cable the cable in the side door is prone to fraying and then breaking. At first the door won t work properly. This happens when the power sliding door isn t able to latch on properly due to something blocking it. Most common problem is the motor of the latch fails.
