I just bought a 2006 Toyota Siena for cheap, planning to turn it into a camping van. Neither of the sliding doors work, folks we bought it from shrugged and said, we just quit using them. I got the passenger side open, gonna use tie wire I think rather than plastic zip ties, but, yay! Thanks!

Why is everyone so mean!? These guys did great, stop comparing different schools, plus they did AWSOME. Why would you put hurtful comments when clearly kids are doing this?

My 2006 Sienna looks a little different inside but I had the same symptoms (inside handle not working but outside handle working). Turns out nothing was broken but I believe the child-protection feature (preventing passengers from opening doors or windows) was not reset properly. The inside handle lever was disengaged from the plastic piece it was supposed to "push" to engage another lever. I moved the plastic piece back into the correct spot and now everything works great!

If you do this job, you should also replace the two tee connectors that are below the air box, those crack too over time and leak coolant, plenty of videos on this too on KZbin

My problem was slightly different but I still give you credit in helping me with this getto fix. 1 you helped me open in 2. You showed me that by looking at the other door one can figure out what is not moving. 3. Your my an my van are Slightly different but you amped me up to try to fix it. Keep up the good work.

Super getto fix. That's how I fix mist of my things. I love your style. 2000 buck or a zip tie Let me think... Thank you so much my friend

THANK YOU!!!

Thanks for the video bro

Great info. You led me to the cause but I used a different fix which restored full operation. That little tubular white nylon piece was still in the door behind the inner panel. I drilled it and tapped it thru for a 6-32 screw. I them put it in position and installed a pan head 6-32 screw. The head of the screw replaced the flat nylon head which had broken off. I jammed a screwdriver against the white nylon piece to prevent it from rotating as I tightened the screw. It’s possible that the screw could loosen over time so I’ll open it up in a year to see if needs to be snugged up. Now the power lock works, the child lock works, inner and outer handles work. Bad original design. If that nylon piece had been made out of brass we wouldn’t be having these unpleasant discussions.

lol i finaly got it open. was not all that easy. no thanks to this vid lol. mine is a 2009 sienna. all i did really was push real hard on the bak end. i would hear like a poping sound it would scare the shit out of me. see the bak part would kinda open but the front wer the handle is would not budge at all. all i did was keep pushing real hard on that bak end n it finaly opened. i was freakin out lol. so mine has nothing to do wit that mechanism mine was workin jus fine

Wow I remember watching my son "Hawai'ian" breakdance at convention center in Lihue 😅 Kenny had good intro and footwork 💯 some of my best memories ❤

One knife, mean skills!!!

I have a 98 and have had so many issues with the doors! Replaced the liftgate latch in 2016 and it doesn't work now (2023). Replaced both front door interior door handles, drivers exterior door handle (very difficult job), drivers back sliding door exterior handle, and have repaired the door mechanisms multiple times on both rear sliding doors! One of which needs repair again. The motor is solid at 180k miles.

Thank you so so so much same exact thing happened to me🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

My sienna had the zip tie where you had yours but it snapped and i cant get it to open no matter how hard i push on the gear your showed, any advice?

Thank you for sharing this tip. Mine has exact the same issue that the small white plastic part fell apart. I applied your tip and got the door to work like yours.

I just wanna say that hopefully you see this comment because I effing appreciate the stuffing out of this video...saved me a headache and some money...thank you sir

Well done.

Boy name was Shrek

they're dope!

You are genius man. Thanks so much!!

Why is everyone being so mean this is obviously a school play which could have been under funded or managed a bit poorly all of the actors are probably proud of their performances and we should be too! Point out the positive things over the small issues that happen in theatre!

Bravo my friend excellent job well done

Thank you so much!! My cables on the passenger side died year ago. The dealer cut the cables so the door could be used manually. My driver side slide door has been stuck shut for yearrrsssss!! I'm so grateful just to find a way to open the door. The dealer couldn't even tell me how to yearrrrrrs ago! Thank you! thank you! I'm going to attempt the project of replacing the cable assembly on my own

could you tell me where you got the plastic housing? how is it holding up? I'm thinking getting the Dorman brand on Amazon but not sure about the quality.

Does anyone know what's the name of the mechanism part?

i had a simular prob ,,,not broke but gummed up , i didnt no they where to move lol ,,,,thanks bro

I’m performing as the gingerbread man/performer/knight/rat/sugarplum fairy next week!

I spent 4hrs trying to figure this out thank you so much for the video !!!

I am mama bear in my Shrek this is helpful

My locking mechanism bound up inside the door with it closed so we couldn't open the door to access the screws to take it apart. Seeing this video showed you could pry it open and peek inside. I was able to open it like you did. Once the door was open and I could take the screws off to access the door it was an easy fix. Probably saved me hundreds of dollars by not having someone overcharge me for a simple fix. Thanks for the video!

ok so i’m doing this and I am fairy & duloc person + pig and all the songs are the same but this is actually kind bad but these are prob like 3 graders so it’s fine. if you are coming here to practice something or you need help with ur part then just be your character people will LOVE IT. anyways you’re probably just making memes rn but good luck!

Super.

👍👍👍👉👉👉

This is horrible please don’t do it again

Hero! I've been playing off the fact that my kids couldn't open the door from the inside for months by acting like I was their chauffer opening the door for them, etc... But when the exterior latch stopped working... having them crawl out the front was too much. I was close to scraping the van but found your video. Thanks a ton. I went top notch ghetto and used 3 zip ties!

good job 👍

a lot of people are saying this is cringe, but i think that it's got a unique charm to it since it's an amateur preformance

3d printer?

whooa have you seen this? this guy cuts the cracked part off and attaches coolant hose to the cut piece rather than do the full replacement kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZoHUf2lteax4h7s

I also had coolant leak on the same spot. What I did was turn the clip 45 degrees and pushed the hose in further. It hasn't leaked since.

Hola,en mí caso,no desenllava cuando lo hago con el control de del botón de la puerta en el panel de controles ,apenas se mueve unos milímetros,es la puerta izquierda,pero si lo hago manualmente,si desenllava,las demás desenllavan en el momento, espero me pueda ayudar, gracias.

Awesome. Did the trick for me. I have powered doors and the power open close work after this fix. You just can't open from the outside which is fine by me.

:)

😎👍🏽

Hey bro did you have to take the starter out?

Thank you for this video
