Siena 2005 Left door blocked!

Hi and Hello,

I know here is the place to get friendly help. We have the Siena 2005 LE ..
Since a few days now we cannot open more than just 3 inches the left sliding
door. I know it has this mechanism IF the gas door is open.. but the gas
door is closed .. we just CANNOT use the left sliding door.

Thanks,
E.

is it out of warranty already ?
anything in the track that shouldn't be (if you can see it)?

I wonder if there is a solution to the problem I mention:

Siena 2005 LE .. 2005 We cannot open more than just 3 inches the left
sliding
door. it has this mechanism IF the gas door is open.. but the gas
door is closed .. we just CANNOT use the left sliding door.

Thanks,

Your posts came about 2 minutes apart. This newsgroup is not a live chat
setting. It's like email, except that it goes to a bunch of news servers
for everybody to see.

Anyway, the van should still be under warranty, right? Have the dealer
figure it out.

If the vehicle is still covered under warranty, my recommendation is to have
the dealer check it out. There is probably a switch connected to the fuel
door that activates a solenoid on the sliding door, and the switch or
solenoid may not be working properly. Someone with a repair manual or the
ability to look at a setup and discern how it works will have to diagnose
and repair.
