- The sliding door won't open as it thinks the gas door is still open. The cause is a spring that has fallen off the latch that is located in the lower track of the sliding door. Once the spring falls off this leaves the latch in the up positions which triggers the sliding door to not open past a few inches.
To get to the latch the sliding door needs to be slide open about a foot. The latch is located in the lower sliding door track towards the front.
Step 1: open gas door
Step 2: push in the button located inside the gas door and while pushing in the button pull the sliding van door as close to you as possible. This should allow you to access the lower sliding door track where a plastic cover will need to be removed to access the latch spring that has fallen behind the latch.
Step 3: after removing the plastic cover look behind the latch for the metal spring that needs to be slid back over the latch. If this is in fact your problem the spring being back over the latch will hold down the latch and then your door should work just fine.
THANKS DANIEL Living on SSi and couldn't afford the repair. Lord BLESS you
Omg you just saved my life literally they trying to charge me $390 to fix it 😬watching your video helped thank you
Yea $390 to fix the part the designed to fail.
I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to take this video and post to youtube! I LOVE CZcams. My door would not open for a few days I had no time to take to mechanic. Such a nuisance.

I am SO GRATEFUL you did this video! I was about to call the dealership and scramble to pay for them to do what took less than 5 minutes to fix!!!!!
Very helpful video, I have the same problem in my 2007 Siena for years, after watching this video I solved the problem, Toyota said they charge me $750.00. Thanks again.
Feels good to be saving that kind of money. Especially for an easy fix.
My exact issue 2014 sienna THANK UOU
Just helped me figure this out quickly. My problem is part of my gas cover came unwelded I guess you'd called it. I pulled it too hard during the winter months lol
thank you so much someone had left the little gas door open and it was dark and i didn't see it - watched this and sure enough close the little door and back in business

Thank you!
I was putting my work boots on yesterday during lunch and seen that switch switched moved it and here I am wondering why my door won't open this morning guess I'll see today when I get home if this is the issue 🤦🏻♂️😂
I got my cover off and the spring is in the right position. I think either the spring behind the stopper is broken or just stretched out. I'm considering cutting that wire and removing the "Safety" feature altogether.
Will cutting the cable solve the problem and are you able to just open and close the gas door manually?
So after you do what you’ve said to do can you still
Open the gas tank door with the cable and not have the latch stay stay up?
Is there any way that you can lubricate the cable?
Manual door also ?
My door won't open or close and the spring is still in the latch
where do you get that spring for the latch!
So my dumb ass kept pulling anyway and now I can’t even close the door
It will get stuck like that. Try Pushing the gas cover lid closed while sliding the door closed. Its the same issue its just now jammed onto that stopper.
Hello, can you help me. I want or know the length of the red wire and the blue wire. Thank you
Sounds like a tricky situation- be careful. Luckily I didn't have to get into the wiring. Sorry I couldn't help on that one.
When i found it i didnt bother to reset it i pulled the hook like a tooth and left the wire there fk that sht
This still doesn't work for me why I push the button and pull the door and it still don't work I can't even get the door opened up to see the freaking hook
How did you end up fixing it?
@marylittlefield9091 it was the hook I found it, I took the covet off at the bottom and saw the hook to the gas pump safety thing sticking up and I unscrewed it and threw it away don't need it it just stops the door from sliding back to the gas pump, I could've reset it but nope not gonna happen again, it has some kinda spring/paperclip kinda thing got got misaligned that I coulda just realigned but I pulled it like a tooth
Ohhhh. Ok. So after I do that I can just open the door to the gas manually to fill up and just close iand it will stay shut?
I am very happy about this.
Could I also just tape the hook
Down with duct tape instead of unscrewing it?
Thanks! This has been a huge problem for me!!
