Opening a toyota sienna door with broken handle.
All you need to do is look for the black plastic plug on the front of the sliding door.
At first the door won t work properly.
Of course my handle broke right as i was loading 700 lbs.
Follow the repair procedure in bulletin t sb 0068 19 to address this condition.
You need to squeeze yer a back there inside and disassemble all the internal plastic most of it should be phillips screws and snap togethers.
Luckily replacing just the latch motor is an easy and inexpensive solution.
This happens when the latch motor fails which is fairly common in toyota siennas.
If you cant do that from the inside remove the two side trim pieces.
The only way you can get the door open is to pull the handle and then hold it for two or three seconds.
Raise the handle of the driver and you should be pressing down on a cable that operates the latch.
Some 2011 2018 model year sienna vehicles may exhibit a condition where the fuel lid door is loose or not flush against the vehicle body which may prevent the driver side slide door from opening.
Raise the handle of the driver and you should be pressing down on a cable that operates the latch.
But at least i know what i need to do.
The cable in the side door is prone to fraying and then breaking.
The door should release.
And pop off all plastic buttons hidden between the door and cover a 1 putty knife will work for this.
Once you remove the front piece you can carefully remove the broken part of the handle that s still in the door.
To open from the outside make sure doors are unlocked mine relocked after a minute or so place a screwdriver long and thin into the slot that the handle passes through the door on the right side.
Then remove the inner door panel one screw under plastic cap on handle one under cap on strap.
After the panel is off you find the rod going from the handle down to the latch and pull up on it.

This condition may be caused by a broken fuel lid door hinge.
Take the plug off and use a torx bit to loosen the bolt.
1999 toyota sienna rear door handle fix.
Thanks yours was the first response and the last one i needed for this.
The bolt holds the front piece to keep the handle in place.
Now i will have to crawl over them to get at the interior of the door.
This will likely apply to.
