Power door drive assembly actuator

[Searles Lewis]

I did run into one problem-the left door will not move, and I had jury-rigged a new hinge, and fixed that today. My neighbor helped yank out the cable, as it was stuck. I do not know if that damaged the door drive assembly motor/engine or not. I did open it up, and the neighbor suggested it may be wrapped up incorrectly around the rollers, which it definitely was! I was able to disassemble it, but now am stuck as to which of the rollers goes in first, and how the two blue springs which form the assembly on both sides fit back together. I was able to strip the protective rubber coating off of beginning of the cable, but would like to ask if any of you have access to AllData or Chilton's cutaway of the "power door drive assembly actuator", so I can see it and do it. I can get it tomorrow, but would like to have my last crack at the car all figured out before I get out, re-assemble all the torx bits and such in the morning.

Can anyone get the cut away of the engine assembly for the cables on the power doors? I have TSB 04-2-3-1, but it lacks a cut away. I hoped the motor's not stripped, but you can hear the electricity hit or charge the engine, it just does not move!

Reposting from your other thread....
(Yes, a new thread for the new problem was a good thing to do).



If you plan to hang onto this vehicle, I advise that you subscribe to Alldata for your vehicle.
It IS worth it....
Sadly, my subscription for the 1996 year is not going to be of any help for the left side power door.
The introduced the left side sliding door starting in 1999.......no left sliding door on 1995 through 1998 Windstar.
Add to that.....what I have for the right side door.....could have been changed by your year......in addition to one having to mentally turn it around.

I would recommend searching this in this room on "power sliding door".....there have been a LOT of posts on them over the years........though I have not really paid much attention to them because my '96 did not have the power sliding door option........
My 2003 Toyota Sienna constanly confuses me because it has a power sliding door on the right (passenger side) and a manual sliding door on the left side.
When I take my youth group on an outing....I often disable the power door so that they are BOTH manual......much less confusion for the passengers.

I would like to note that one should NOT post diagrams from any manual on here.....as it is a violation of copyright laws.
I hate to say it....because I often see good information in diagrams....but the copyright owners can take legal action.....which could cause us to loose this free exchange of information place.
Don't shoot the messager.....I'm only a volunteer moderator for this room.....I don't own this site or any of the said copyrights, so I cannot give any permissions.
Oh....and YES.....the Sienna forums have lots of posts about power door problems also.

Logging on today and seeing that the said vehicle is up and running makes my day.
Nice job!!!!
