    Will not operate from key fob or ceiling or, inside door buttons. The sliding door power on/off switch on the lower left dash panel is in the on position. The fuse is not blown, changed it anyway, same issue. Worked fine when we put the groceries in the car, when we arrived home, doors were...

    Is there a way to get the tail gate power lifted without using the smart key or the buttons on the overhead dome light? I found the lock and unlock button on the tail gate. But it looks like those buttons won't trigger the power lifting. Thanks!

    Picked up an 2015 XLE 4 months ago, and it has less than 5K miles. We use the lift gate everyday, and it is opened/closed at least 4 times a day. We use the overhead button/remote to open, and the lift gate built in button to close. Last night, the button didn't respond. I tried the...

    Hi all, We are enjoying the new Sienna. Can you change the height of the lift gate? :confused: It is close to hitting the top of the garage/garage door.

    My power lift gate opens to about 90-95% of full open. It has been that way for a while (couple of years?). Sometimes it would fully open but now it seems to be struggling a bit to get up and goes to maybe 80% but to be honest I have not paid really close attention. But it definitely seems...

    Hello, I have a 2015 SE model and I was wondering about the power lift gate. When I press the button on the inside of the van or the key remote it beeps and opens as I would expect. But when I press the release with my hand on the trunk itself I need to manually open the lift gate. I have...

    Hi there, I need to replace the weatherstripping inside the rear lift gate on my 2000 Sienna. Of course the dealer is quoting a hefty replacement fee plus "at least" an hour of labour. Just wondering if anyone knows if the old one is glued in and whether the new one would also need to be glued...

    I recently got in a minor accident, rear end collision , replaced the damaged lift gate with one from the junkyard. It's a good match cosmetically, but the new lift gate had some different features on it being off an xle . The new lift gate opens, seals and shuts properly , but the light in the...

    2011 Toyota Sienna Van Having problem with Rear Gate Latch, had it checked at Garage, they tell us it is loose, that we need new latch (app $500). The rear hatch closes fine, but while driving the vehicle the monitor, error messages and beepers come on and then go off, showing the rear hatch is...

    I would like to repair the rear power latch for the back lift gate as it stopped working recently and the manual override requires reaching into the door from inside the car. I checked all the fuses and they seem OK so I am now trying to test the handle switch and motor component with a...

    Just a feedback. Trunk/lift gate in my 2004 Sienna was opening super long, getting to the height where I could hit it with my head and sometimes closing by itself after a minute or so. I've just replaced the lift gate struts with the ones from the link below and whoa what a difference. It opens...

    I'm new to the site and may i ask how to change rear struts? i really need to change mine and do u know if i can put a push button on my tail gate, my sienna is LE and it really helps out a lot for us if we can put an push button for the tail gate. I really appreciate all responses.

    My manual rear hatch will not stay open. I guess I need to buy replacement lift support rods. Where can I get them and how much do they cost? Thanks,

    I've owned this van for about a month and this problem keeps reoccurring. I've corrected it by disconnecting & reconnecting the negative battery cable, then opening & closing the door fully with the door power switch off. It will then work for a period of time but will start reversing again...

    Anyone know if it's possible? The toggle button controls both? I like the power sliding doors but I don't find the power lift gate to be needed or even very helpful, and rather can be problematic at times. This is for a 2014 XLE.

    I have a 2011 Sienna Limited. Used to be when I closed the tail gate (manually or automatically), a motor would tighten the tail gate by pulling it in by another ~1/8 of an inch. You could hear and see the motor do this. Sometime about 6 months ago, this no longer happens. Anyone else have this...

    The rear door on the Sienna is not staying up after 7 years. I guess I have to replace the struts. I am sure some of you have replaced them. Can anyone recommend some good brands. I looked at local and online stores and see Monroe, Mighty lifts, Strong Arm, Sachs (sp), AMS... Thanks

    Retrofitting LE lift gate into an XLE power lift gate - Has anyone done it?

    Just purchased our second Sienna. We put 55K miles on a 2011 Sienna XLE. It was great. We moved to Alaska and need AWD so we traded and got a 2013 XLE AWD. The rear lift gate does not seem to be a power lift gate like our 2011. This isn't a base version its a loaded XLE with all the bells and...
