Default Re: Sienna sliding door problem
The cable, which pulls the door tangled inside the motor assembly and broke. It is in a 2002 Toyota and the motor has already been replaced once (obviously after the warranty expired). It has been 2.5 years since then.

The motor is OK. I had to open the panels and cut the cable to make the door operational at least in manual mode.

It looks like that when the dealer replaced the motor in 2005 he didn't adjust the tension properly. I notice that the cable was a bit loose, but didn't really pay enough attention since the door worked.

From other discussions I got an impression that the cable CAN NOT be purchased separately from the entire motor assembly. Does anyone has the procedure (instructions) on how to replace the assembly?

Thanks!
