Why does my side door not open on my Toyota Sienna?

Why does my side door not open on my Toyota Sienna?

Well, it COULD be as simple as cycling the power door lock button on the drivers side armrest. If I have disconnected the battery, I can not open the rear hatch until I do that, so might be the same story for your side doors.

Where are the screws on a Toyota Sienna sliding door?

There are 2 screws on the front edge of the door so you MUST be able to get the door open to remove it. At first I was not able to get my door opened but by playing around with pulling the handle on the inside while pushing out on the door (front and back of door) I was able to get it to open.

How to reset the power door battery on a Toyota Sienna?

Step 1 Press the sliding door control button on the Sienna’s dashboard so that the red line on the button is illuminated. Close the sliding doors. Raise the hood of the van, and disconnect the negative (“-“) battery cable with a wrench. Wait 3 to 5 minutes, then reconnect the cable.

Is the driver side slider on a Toyota Sienna?

Hi, I’m new to the forum and a relatively new used Sienna owner. I have an ’08 Limited that I got off the used car lot. I replaced the battery after getting it home and lost function of the driver side slider.

What to do when your side door won’t open?

The only way you can get the door open is to pull the handle and then hold it for two or three seconds. This happens when the latch motor fails, which is fairly common in Toyota Siennas.

Where is the power button for the sliding door?

There is a switch that when hit disables the sliding door function. On our 2004 it is located down by the drivers left knee on the dash underside. Update. I cycled the power button for the slider after changing the battery and tried every different way to open it. With and without power, manually both inside and out.
