Sienna sliding door problem
I have a 2000 sienna with 130k miles on it. The right side power sliding door has a problem. It was acting like there was something preventing the door from closing for some time. What I mean by that was that when I tried to close the door it would move about 6 inches then reopen, like it would hit something. I could manually close the door just fine if I turned the master switch off. I did the "reset" procedure and now it just makes a clicking noise when I try to close the door. If I manually close the door it will power back open just fine when I turn the master switch back on. If I try to close the door manually the motor kicks in immediately and opens the door. I've have the problem intermittently over the last 4 years but it became so bad that I just have to operate the door manually all the time now. There are so many horror stories about spending many hundreds of dollars at the dealer without the problem being fixed that I really am resisting that approach. Besides I am pretty handy and feel that I can replace parts myself. Anyone have any ideas?
