Toyota Sienna 2004 Power Sliding Door Cable & Center Hinge Replacement

A year ago, I repaired 2004 Toyota Sienna passenger side power sliding door problem. It was a "Lock-Release" system failure. I replaced parts and everything worked OK. But I did not know that at the same time, there were other problems hidden that were much worse than this problem. My Sienna's sliding door was dead for second time. Again, I challenged these new problems and fixed them once and for all.
The parts I bought wre
1)Power Sliding Door Cable Assembly w/o Motor 04-10 Toyota Sienna PASSENGER Side (from ebay, $225.00 free shipping)
2)Genuine Toyota 68380-08031 Door Hinge Assembly (from Amazon $85.09 free shipping)
I learned a lot of things from these site.

2) How to Replace a Toyota Sienna's Center Hinge on the Sliding Door(2005) by Go Ontryit (KZbin video)
goo.gl/pbaUnW
Thank you John and Go Ontryit, you guys are awesome.
In my video, I replaced sliding cable and center hinge. You can see how badly both parts were damaged. And also you understand that these repair can be done by yourself.
2004 to 2010 Sienna's parts should be same, so if you own these year's car, this video could be a good hint.
My first video about lock-release replacement video is

Thanks for covering the actual spool reassembly! Most videos gloss right over this. It isn’t even covered in the new part instructions.

[@marcosr.lozano4817]

I love the description, part numbers and cost of all the parts. Thanks! the entire video is well explained and i'm ready to do it myself. Thanks again.

[@teddyhashee]

This is the second time I needed to see this video because of similar issues. I'm very impressed with how informative and useful it is. It's obvious that a lot of time and effort went into making this how-to, and I am VERY grateful for it! If I could give this 1000 thumbs-up, I would! THANK YOU!

Hi, Russ. Thank you for your compliment on my work. MY car needs another repair at this time too. This time door lock actuator motor needs to be replaced. Hope your repair will go smoothly at this time too.

[@robdiaz624]

Thanks so much for this! Got me through it well and saved me a ton of money. Had a little difficulty getting the window back in, but it works. Nice too have the door open without the grinding.

[@elishavickers4638]

Thanks for your videos. My rear passenger sliding door has been broke for years. Being it is a '04 and it is 2015, I was not about to pay the outrageous amount for TOYOTA to fix it. I ended up just making it a manual door since the kids are way out the car seat age. Now I just have to replace the compressed air shocks for the back hatch. THANKS AGAIN. !

[@davidmiller767]

This is a COMMON problem with Sienna's. Toyota knows it should have a recall on the thousands of Toyota's that have this issue. Not worth $1,100.00 to have the bloody door open. I 'll just use the drivers side door. Dammit! : )

[@joncarlos716]

Bro this looks very hard to do, but honestly I didn’t even watch this video first I just figured it out on my own. I went to lkq pick a part learned how to do everything there before I touched my door. I took out the motor and pulley, The plastic pulley came undone and had no idea how it went. But I figured it out in 5 mins. My cable ends near the motor, the cable jacket came undone inside so it was locking up the pulley. It wasn’t nearly as bad like this video. Removed the all the plastic jacket off the cable cleaned the plastic cover regreased the bearings and and motor gear. Works like a charm now. Paid $48.00 for spare motor and cable. Oh yea by the way if your motor is still good and cable is just stuck by the plastic jacket cover, you just need to remove the inside door panel, window snail cover, and the motor pulley.

[@stevenstrobel5903]

Great video. I love the details, yet to the point. Besides the cable & door hinge, are there any other parts that are worth considering to replace at the same time?

[@teddyhashee]

Probably the motor for the door lock and unlock. You can find it from Digkey online shop. Thank you for the compliment on my work!

[@lhb4031]

Nice job thanks

[@teddyhashee]

Thank you.

[@Taingoun]

Thanks, Teddy Hashee for posting this video. With your video I just finished replacing the cable on my sienna with a few broken plastic clip - the square head clip. When I popped the rear panel outside the sliding door, the plastic square head clip was broken. I preordered a pack on the round head ones. You know where I can order the square head ones? thanks again. Job well done.

[@teddyhashee]

Hi, John. I am not sure about plastic square head clip. Are you talking about door panel retainer clip? or is it for the parts of the sliding door cable assembly? I am sorry that I can not answer well. Sometimes if I can not find any information regarding parts, I went to the auto parts shop and ask them. They can look up computer and find detail information for me. Hope this info will help you. Teddy

[@jamalsaleh5465]

Thank you man... I wish we can do my car together

[@teddyhashee]

Hi Jamal. Thank you for your compliment on my video. I believe you can do DIY repair by yourself alone. Teddy

[@ryhughayres]

Great video. Is it possible to just cut the cable to allow the door to manually open and close? I have this same problem and now I can barely close the door.

[@matthewurbanc4998]

Teddy, great job on the video, thank you! I will be tackling this repair on my wife's Sienna this weekend. I do have one question, when you were counting the number of cable wraps around the pulley, you had written down 2 wraps for the front and 3 wraps for the rear. Later in the video when you had to add one more wrap, was that on the front or rear? Thanks again and have a good one!

[@teddyhashee]

Hi, I had to wrap the cable 3 and 3 for both side, however, I miscounted for the front one. So I wrapped 2 times for front and 3 times for back. You can wrap cable 3 front and 3 back then you see that 2 cables will meet in the center of the pulley. Hope your DIY repair will go well. Teddy

[@teddyhashee]

Hi, Sam. Thank you for the comment. It seems like a big job and feel like overwhelmed, but It was not bad. Hope you can fix your problem too!

[@richbothmann3649]

Great diy video. I have the same exact problem. First the door needed a little help closing, then the cable shredded and starting making crunchy noises, then the cable snapped. I wonder if the worn out hinge is the root of this whole issue and resulted in the cable issue. Need to go order parts. Thanks.

[@teddyhashee]

Thank you for your compliment on my work, Rich. Hope you will be able to solve the problem!!

[@ryanc6767]

hi teddy, i believe the weakness of this design was that central bolt, that was the part that was causing the play on mine. i wish i can find a part just to replace that specific piece and not have to pay 100 for the entire hinge

[@teddyhashee]

Hi, Ryan. I hope you will be able to locate bolt parts. By the way, when I removed the center hinge and checked it, it was certainly bent by the weight of the door. I guessed that the main reason was the position of the hinge, and I would say it was design flow. The position of the center hinges of this sienna is very high point, therefor the hinge needs to hold heavy weight of the door. Other makers car's hinge position is lower than sienna. Anyway, good luck of your DIY project.

[@ryanc6767]

+Teddy Hashee hi teddy, i am sorry i do not know the part name, but i think the problem in mine is called the door hinge pin which did not bend, but has loosened at the top...there is a little part that helps with its fitment and i believe it os compromised due to the weight. am i on the right track? anyways, i am still going to order the whole hinge but for the future, i would try to fix that pin. thanks again.

[@teddyhashee]

Hi, Ryan. When I could not finish repairing due to not having necessary parts, I always kept thinking about it. Then suddenly the parts will come up in front of me like magic. I believe you will find your parts soon or later. May the force be with you!! Teddy

[@SunDevilDave]

I wonder if the center hinge issue contributes to the cable failure. Great DIY video on this fix. A mechanic would run you several hundred dollars.

[@teddyhashee]

If the center hinge getting weak, you will see the gap between door and body becomes so narrow. In my case the door was slightly touching the body. So probably the center hinge issue will contributes in some way for the cable problem in a long run. Thank you for the comment.

[@skylark19721]

Wow nice job just so you know if other side breaks Toyota will fix for free,yesterday mine broke the cable and I called toyota customer service not dealership and they said it was under recall I have a 2006 sienna xle with 134,000 and it was still covered Toyota even called the nearest dealership near me and set everything up I just had to confirm what time would be best for me so Tuesday it is all covered very happy so my advice do not call dealership you will get run around call Toyota customer service they will take care of it .

[@teddyhashee]

+skylark19721 Hi, Skylark. Thanks for the great info. This side brake repair info will help many people. Appreciate it. Teddy

[@paulr.8910]

+skylark19721 Hi Skylark, I think my 2006 is on the verge of having the same failure, is there a TSB to reference? This is a great video, but I'd much rather take it in to be replaced than dive into this level of mechanic work. Thanks!

[@skylark19721]

+Paul R. call 800-331-4331 that is Toyota customer service and give your vin # to see if it is covered which it should I talked to jomar but you will probably get someone different mine actually broke the cable you might have to wait but it is a recall so you should be good,thanks

[@skylark19721]

+Teddy Hashee Thanks Teddy amazing job for real this video is amazing I am pretty handy also mostly with old cars are my life like pre 1980 lol this I can probably do but why did Toyota make it soo difficult lol so many steps

[@teddyhashee]

+skylark19721 It is so many steps, I agree with you. Some of the parts are positioned very difficult place and in order to replace it, we need to remove many parts. However, after successful DIY, it feels really nice.Teddy

[@laurentfabries1221]

Hi Teddy. Great video and so helpful. I'm having the same problem you had with the cable coming too short by an inch to snap it in the holder (20:44 on your video). What did you do to fix this issue? Thank you.

[@teddyhashee]

Hi, Laurent. When I was trying to snap one of the cable ends to the door side body, I could not do it. So I just remove the other end of the cable that was snapped in the tail side of the body, and first I set door side cable end, then go to the tail side end and pull straight strongly and snapped it in. Because of at the tail side, you do not have to bend the cable to snap it in, tail side was just a straight line. Instead, door side was kind of "L" shape and that was the reason I could not set cable. So first you want to set one of the cable ends to the door side of the body, then you go to the tail side and pull the cable and snap it in there. The plastic that holding cable ends has spring inside, so you should be able to pull cable long enough to snap it in. If this way will not solve your problem, then there may be other reason you could not snap cable ends to the body. I hope this will help you.

[@paulmurphy7626]

Hi Teddy.. great video.. I enjoy the charm of the music too. My 2008 has similar problems, and also, the passenger side door is seized shut after the cable snapped. I'm going to start taking a closer look tomorrow, but do you have any idea why it won't open? I can hear something clicking near the bottom-rear of the door. Thanks!

[@skylark19721]

Thomas Hughes I had to do alot of back and forth and in the end I was out of warranty also but I called the toyota customer line not dealership and they have me a 500 credit on whatever I need so I am saving that for down the line with brakes or whatever it needs,with your problem it might be a resistor in the door that went bad since nothing is happening with mine when you push the bottom you can still here motor trying to work but the cable snapped there are a few videos online to change the resistor in the door not as hard as doing the motor like this,using it manual right now on mine and will be fixed soon when I have the time lol

[@thomasherberthughes]

[@Mireyna709]

Hey Teddy. we had decided to fix the door after the new year because of the financial cost of the cables with housing. I was installing the window back in and putting it all back together so we can use it manually and the door closed without having the 2 bolts in on the hinge, now the door is jammed and I can not open it. Any advice?

[@teddyhashee]

Probably the cable is jammed. If you are going to buy new cable, then you can just cut old one and the door will be free from cable. Even though you are switching to manual mode, if the cable is jammed, you can not open the door. Only solution is cut the cable in somewhere. Or just you can remove the one or both end of the cable from its stopper. You can where the end of the cable in my video. Hope it will help you.

[@MrHplilly]

+Teddy Hashee . Thanks, I just ordered the part off ebay but it did not come with the bearing which goes into the cover as at 15:35 in your video. Does it suppose to include that bearing? If not, do you know where I can buy one? Thanks.

[@teddyhashee]

+Hoa Pham Hi, motor pulley wheel is not included to the cable set. I found one on ebay. goo.gl/Zbf4XT Make sure to contact seller that this item will fit your car before ordering it. Teddy

[@MrHplilly]

+Teddy Hashee Thanks Teddy, I stil have the pulley. What I am missing is the small bearing that goes into the cover (I think the one that fell out when you open the cover at 4:10 minute in your video. I opened mine and the cover was broken, and I could not find the bearing. Please let me know if you know the part number of this or know where I can find it. Thanks a lot for your help.

[@teddyhashee]

+Hoa Pham Hi, Hoa. I tried to find out the parts number, but not luck. I think you can go to the car parts shop and ask them the parts number. They are easily check your parts number with their computer. Sorry that I can not help you. Teddy

[@Davidflores-yb3bh]

Very easy I did not even looked at the video to do this. . But I saw it after all bc the owner of the car sent it or me lol

[@teddyhashee]

Thank you David for the comment, and congratulations on your success.

[@yehoshuab5903]

just bought a 07 sienna... heard this this was a real hassle.... previous owner did one door at the dealer a few months ago... the other (only used 10% of the time could be a ticking time bomb). Would you recommend doing cable & hinge if you're going to do the cable anyways?

[@teddyhashee]

If I knew that a center hinge would be a problem at the first time, I did replace the both parts that including a center hinge.

How did you fix the first issue you had? The one where the door opens but doesn’t lock at the end? I’ve been searching but couldn’t find how to fix it, if someone knows, can you please let me know? Thanks

[@aliabtahi2313]

thanks, certain section of the recording was too fast ( removing the main body of the assembly with glass removal, top of the hinge removal ) at the moment I have cut the cable and the door works on manual like the old times. $1300 plus for this at dealer ??

[@fiestyfemme]

The cable shown at 18:53 is the part that i had to pull off the clip to get my door to close tonight. So do i need this whole assembly to fix that problem?

[@teddyhashee]

+fiestyfemme You can remove door panel, then remove cover of the pulley. That's it. Or if you change cable and do not need to keep original one, you can just cut cable from outside of the car. This way, you do not have to open the door panel. Hope you can solve your problem. Teddy

[@robwhiff3411]

question does the aftermarket cable kit come with the cable cover bearing because I notice the kit I got those not have the bearing...can you advice were to get one ?

[@teddyhashee]

+Rob M Hi, Rob. Thank you for the comment. Honestly I do not know where to find. But I think if you go to car parts shop, they might be able to tell you. Teddy

Thank you very much teddy.. I'm a lot more confident to tackle this job now. Very informative video and great walk thru. If you dont mind, how many estimated hours did this take you? Looked like alot of time disassembling and reassembling everything. Great job!!

[@teddyhashee]

Hi, Doua. Thank you for your compliment on my work. The work hours will be 5 to 6 hours because I was shooting a video for each step. Without it, probably less than 4 hours you can finish it from start to end. Hope you will be able to fix your door problem!

Great job, How much gana cost me if I want to fix it in dealer or other places?

[@teddyhashee]

+ABO MARWAN It depends on how bad your door parts are damaged, but many people went to the dealer found out the cost from "1,500 - over 2,000". Teddy

[@wilfredofeliciano2870]

That's true. Toyota dealer ask me a $1300 for that job. I eliminated the cable and I open the door manually. Now with this good tutorial, I think it repair myself. Thank you for sharing.

This video is valuable, but I’d recommend no music to this music in future videos.

[@Thunderroad8517]

best repair!!! I just got one in yesterday and didn't have a clue where to start. the cable on the top where the mid hinge is was broke. can you replace that or the whole cable? thanks man.

[@teddyhashee]

The cable is assembled like these amzn.to/2amjVoE I recommend to use assembled one that will be easy job. Teddy

[@miriamibarra09]

Where did you buy your replacement?

[@naturalalexblessings5750]

How comes there are know video on noah or voxy 2009 to 2013 sliding doors

[@vcents2604]

Did you use any special tools. I'm thinking of fix my sienna with similar problem. The dealership is asking for $2400 to fix.

[@teddyhashee]

Nothing special, hope you will be able to fix your car door. Teddy

Teddy Hashee First of all thanks for making this video. It will save me a lot of $ by just following you video instruction. Also i have another question. In John Mueller's instructional website he said about using the original toyota parts. Which make sense. But in your video you used the after market which cost less. I think both yours and his method and suggestions are correct. What made you decide to used the after market. Is its the price or you gamble That it will last. Thanks again for this helpful video! Fyi the after market parts is also sold on amazon.

[@teddyhashee]

Mainly price. After market items are not bad at least for me, all items I bought for repairing my car had no problem so far.

You have to replace the rear hinge to, its not hanging like when new, its hanging a bit.

Hola, hablas español? Tengo una sienna y una de las puertas suena como si quisiera abrir pero solo hace sonido y no habre ni sierra.

Headache Saver Tip! Remove the window bolts the easy way, through the rubber grommets. They can be found in the middle of the big panel. 10mm. Everything else was helpful. Good Luck!
