What do I do if my 2013 Toyota Sienna’s sliding door won’t open?
I have four kids, and we love our 2013 Toyota Sienna! That said, issues with the sliding door have made us late to a few sports practices recently, and I can’t figure out how to make it work. How can I fix the sliding door on my 2013 Sienna?

Getting four kids ready to leave on time is no small feat, so that door jam must be frustrating! The faulty sliding door on your 2013 Toyota Sienna could be due to a latch motor failure, a frayed cable, or a circuit issue. Once you know the source, you can take the solution into your hands pretty easily.
Let’s break those culprits down:
- Latch motor failure: If the door falters and makes a sound when you press the button to open it automatically, it’s most likely an issue with the latch motor.
- Frayed cable: A door that stops working completely is typically caused by a damaged cable.
- Circuit overload: If something is blocking the upper or lower tracks on the door, it can cause a circuit overload, which prevents the door from operating.
If these symptoms describe what you’re experiencing in your Sienna, you’re halfway to the solution. The good news is these are all DIY
repairs
that you can resolve for low to no cost to you. View full answer
