'07 Sedona: Sliding Door Issues & Exterior Handle Replacement
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ต.ค. 2024
- I got called out to this van the night before. The family was a bit nervous as this is the vehicle they use to transport the entire family, as it's the only one they have that fits everyone. They were worried about the right side sliding door not latching, and a bungee cord was being used temporarily, while getting the van home. Still made the mother nervous because as the van would accelerate, the door would slide open. #Sedona #Kia #SlidingDoor

Thanks for the good walk through. Saved me some time. I have no idea how you got this done without removing the regulator, though.
Small hands & I have a huge array of tools. Sometimes more than most techs I know, which is frustrating when I'm doing work at their shops. Lol 😅 Glad this helped. 😊
should have removed tough it gets easier by removing it
Thanks for this video, saved my but fixing my son's broken handle. My granddaughter even made me a "thank you" sign.
Oh my gosh! That's awesome! I love to read comments like these. How cute of your granddaughter to make you something as well. Thanks so much for your comment! 😊
Nice work and early congrat's on your channel getting ready to hit that 1k subscriber mark! 👍
Yeah.. unbelievable! 1k?? Lol Thanks Glen! Can't wait to meet up soon!! 😊😊🤗🤗
Nice video Cuba! “Wallet with wings” 😂😂
I should've added that flying wallet buzzing around. Lol. Ugh Dorman. The customer finally gets it now though 😅😅😅 Thanks Cody! 😊🤗🤗
Nice work Ms. Cuba you are a wiz nothing but mad respect. Love that you teaching Young Miss Cuba work ethic too.
Slowly, but surely she's coming around. Automotive isn't her thing, but I'm thankful she still lends a hand. Other things like PCs or installing Security cameras, she's a bit more enthused. Lol 😅😅
Good to hear from you Jerzcnate!! Or is it just Nate? 🤔😊🤗🤗
@@CubasAutomotive .... Si mi nombre es Nate .... Ok cool Young Miss Cuba will be a tech wiz
@@jerzcnate muy bien dicho! Ya se para la próxima, Nate! 😊
I will be following along with this video when i replace the driver's side sliding door handle on my sedona. While trying to open it this morning the handle broke off. As with other automotive issues I have had I turned to youtube for info. TH-cam is full of useful info, once you get past the cat videos and people acting a fool to become famous in their own minds. Anyway, after watching your video I'm glad to see that while it will be a headache to replace it won't be an impossible diy chore.
I totally agree it is great to have a helper. I don't usually have either of my kids helping me on our cars, but that is usually because they are in school, working on homework, or don't want them near for safety like when it is jacked up and the tire is off. But it is nice to have some their to hand you tools. My wife tries to help with that thankfully. Though she does not always know the tool I'm asking for she is learning them. I use to hate doing that for my dad, but now I am so glad he had me helping him. Even just being the gopher, you learn more than realize at the time.
I would also like to say it is a nice change of pace to see a woman as the mechanic. So many people think when it comes to cars or anything involving tools that women's only knowledge about them is that they exist. You are a prime example of how car repair isn't just "men's work." I don't believe my dad was ever sexist, but there were times when he would say the car was fine or "i don't hear anything" or it was something else when my mom would say it was acting funny, she heard an odd noise or said the problem was this part instead of that part. Most of the time if their diagnosis disagreed, mom was right. To be fair, regarding him not hearing something, i think that was simply due to mom having the hearing of a bat. My wife and I both agree that we want our kids to be able to do this kind of work if needed. We have a boy and a girl and try not to put any kind of limitations on them based on that. We want them both to know how to do at least the basics of everything for when they are on their own, be it cooking or household maintenance or car repair. I am definitely subscribing to your channel for future automotive questions.
There is one thing you didn't mention in your video that I'm very curious to know. How in the world do you complete an automotive repair without bleeding?!?!? Just about every time I work on a car, no matter how simple the repair, I end up scraping a knuckle or peeling skin back on a finger. Even with latex gloves on. I almost feel like the job is not complete if I'm not bleeding at the end.
Thank you very much for posting this, Rock on! excellent job and great video I have to replace a broken outside handle on my 2006 Kia Sedona.
Well I hope it helps! 1 additional tip. Only use OEM otherwise you'll be doing it again which stinks. The aftermarket stuff is even cheaper in quality, might only last a day.
Nice work Cuba.
If I may pass on a tech tip on the old school door clips.
Use a shop Rag and work it like you are flossing the door handle pulling down on each side of the rag.
It will pop that little clip down just enough to allow you to remove the handle.
Those Sedonas we had alot of those door issues when I was at the dealership. The door would pop open driving down the highway.
Rachel Faye was cheering you on btw. She loves you had your helper out there with you.
Keep it up Cuba. You rock. 👊😎👍
Ahhhhhh.. I like that! The flossing on the interior door handle, correct? That GM style clip? I have a tool for those too, but I was on site without my work truck, so I was lacking so many tools....😑😅
Really? They'd fly open? Due to the latch end, I'm assuming? I don't like that plastic they put over them, on the jaws. I assume is to dampen the noise?
So cute of Rachel to even watch!😆😆 I adore her, well the both of you. All the support! I appreciate the tech tips too!! 😊🤗🤗
@@CubasAutomotive yes mam. Floss the interior handle to get those clips off.
I own a tool for them i never use it. Lol a old tech taught me this trick and it's worked every time.
Yes the rear latch would release and I believe it was an alignment issue.
They never put a recall on them which I was surprised most were still under warranty.
Rachel Faye is subscribed to your channel.
I saw that you are very close to a thousand subs.
I told her to subscribe and ring the bell.
She said.. " already have" 😉
@@michaelnicholson9092 So freaking cool! OK! I'm so appreciative of the info! That's crazy no recall, but it's rare unless it can be a total loss of a vehicle. Sadly. No care for the consumer anymore.
Awwwwww! Already subbed! 😍😍
Yes sir! So close to 1k.... it amazes me, because at least 200 of those subs were during dead periods, as in no output of content. It's humbling. I know those aren't "huge" numbers, but it amazes me nonetheless. Who wants to watch me?? Lol Most subs are awesome down to earth people.... I truly enjoy all the tips, recommendations, I never thought I'd get so much out of making these videos.
@@CubasAutomotive I'm gonna make my first attempt on a video today on a intermittent no start.
Been told by many I need to start a channel so......
Let's how it goes. 🙈🙉🙊🤣
@@michaelnicholson9092 yes! How exciting! Everyone has something to contribute... looking forward to your 1st video! ! 👀😆😆
1st comment! Great video! Nice flashlight holder btw @10:22 lol
Hajaha.... I'll let her know how great she is 😅 One of a kind. 😁😊 Thanks for stopping by Eric!! 🤗🤗
Do you think that it would be any easier to remove the interior locking/latch mechanism to access the inside of the exterior door handle? Thinking with larger hands, it will be nearly impossible to re-attach the small cable and tighten the mounting bolts.
Always great to see you Cuba! You fixed it again 😉 Thanks for sharing 👍
Hey Dylan!! DiagnoseDan is better at fixing it again, but also fixing it, together! Lol. 😂😂 Always a pleasure to hear from you!! 😊🤗🤗

Good job cuba thank you this job is not easy to do much respect thank you very much you're awesome
Thank you Enrique! I appreciate that 😊
Thank you! It is really helpful.
Thanks Igor! Спасибо.😁😊
@@CubasAutomotive Вам спасибо! 😁
Great job ,thank you.
Thank you for watching 👋🏻
Yeah thanks for showing how to get the bolt out now I'm stuck and nothing will fit on the bolt to get it out
that family was mine...she did a great job fixing it!
Awww! Thanks Tristan! You're a sweetheart! 😊
Sorry for the dumb question Cuba.
Is the process the same if the door latches and locks fine, it's just the exterior door handle that broke off?
No dumb questions.... only dummies for not asking.
Yes, the process is the same. Or very similar, if the plastic that holds the cable or the cable to open door breaks, then handle will not work either.
Thank you for the help!
Anytime! 🙂
What about the cable on the left? Not the one that goes to the exterior handle, not the one that is “l-shaped” and has a pinkish/peach color snap in part, and not the ball shaped one with the white snap/clip. It’s the one that’s to the left of all of that. In a oval shape with a square bottom. There is a cable there. I think it somehow connects, or runs through the black piece with the two small, silver screws. But I can’t figure it out
Love your videos. Keep them coming.
I will definitely try! I'd like to for sure! Some more scope usage, specifically.
mines hard to open in the driver side. I pulled too hard and broke the handle a couple days ago...when can you come fix it?
Hahaha.... I'm sorry I missed this comment. The sliding door? They're such a pain. Lol. Come pick me up, and I'll get right on that. 😊 Thanks for the smile Zack 👍🏻
Hey C.A'
Question so my 2007 Kia Sedona's sliding doors on both sides seem to be doing the same thing not closing completely and making the door open light come on. In your best opinion without looking at the car. would you say the actuator motor on both doors are failing and need to be replaced. its like you have in the description from the client of this car. door will open randomly and not lock fully and tightly in place. I'm to gauge the cost to replace both motor actuators including labor. Tight budget + covid craziness going on right now.
Thanks in advance if you can give me some idea of what to expect at a repair shop. God Bless and be well.
Ahhh see.... I believe you have automatic or electronically controlled doors? My customer has the completely manual style. No switches or modules involved. So if that's the case, you have a different issue. In fact there is a TSB on this issue for the electronic type.
Not long ago, another viewer was trying to tell me about this TSB in the comments... read above.
I'll look into that TSB, and try to give you some info regarding it. I'll reply back here, so it can help others too.
@@CubasAutomotive ok that would be great. Thank you.
YEAH! a Cuba video! Where you been girl. Sunday morning coffee and a Cuba video. I hate working on doors and KIA's got to be one of the worst.
Sunday, extremely chilly morning! Lol Doors were never so bad for me, but Kia?? Wow! Plus the lack of service info, at least for me. I swear I could've removed something else to facilitate the handle R&R. Soon, I'll have to replace that latch too... oh joy!!! Lol 😂😂 Thanks Bill!! Always great to hear from you! 😊🤗🤗
Revisting other peoples work. Hate that, gr8 vid Cuba, cheers dave
Hahaha... yes!! I feel the same way, but it could've been worse here. 😅😅 Thanks for stopping by Dave!! 😍😊🤗
Kool stuff Chiquita! Glad you don't edit out the fun parts! Where have you been? Still watching from South Carolina!😁
Thank you sir!! Yeah, I didn't edit much out THIS time.... another viewer said they could hear the bad words in Spanish (even sped up? Lol 😅). Lol Always happy for a free lesson, he says.
Welcome back Cuba. I've missed you
Sorry I haven't been active much lately. Work, work, work..... and not just cars. Lol
@@CubasAutomotive it's ok. I just love watching your channel cuz there's not many out there that work on cars. 2 female automotive channels I love the most, yours and Faye Hadley pistons and pixiedust .
I mean not that many women that work in the automotive field.
The rag is a good trick. Have used it before to release the clip holding the inside handle in place.
WOW, that looked like a huge nightmare! Dorman strikes again - surprise! 😁
Nice work handling that Kia engineering there, Cuba. 👍🍻
Long time, no see! I haven't put anything out in a while myself. Too busy to deal with my slow-as-molasses computer, and no time to spend all day on the phone with tech support. 😵 I've got some short ones I might work on tonight.😊 Oh, and you're about 2 people away from 1k subs!! CONGRATS!! 👍🍻👍🍻
Yeah, it was pure joy working on this guy. .. but the extra layers just made it tougher to flex or maneuver as I would normally have done. To change position was always a huge ordeal. Lol
Yes! Like you, just been BOMBARDED with work. So much, that I'm still turning away some. My busiest winter yet, and also the lack of decent vehicles/problems to work on. I don't think maintenance cuts it most of the time. Lol IDK.
That stinks to hear about your PC! They can be finicky at times! Lol I'm looking forward to some vids from you! I'll keep an eye out. YT has been hit or miss with notifications lately. Played a bit of catch up earlier 😅😅
Anywho..... Big hugs Smitty!! Ttys! 😊😊🤗🤗🤗🍺🍺🍺😆
@@CubasAutomotive - I know what you mean. I hate winter! Hate the cold, hate the layers, hate the lack of sun! I should've been born in FL, lol.
I'll watch whatever you put out, Cuba - it's all good! 👍
I hear that - I've been playing catch-up almost all day today! 😁 I could do 40 hour weeks just watching TH-cam, LOL! 😆 Big hugs right back at ya! 😊🤗🍻 Thanks, Cuba!
Hi, I've the issue my door wont auto open but closes fine what may be the issue?
Yours is electronic, which is a totally different setup. There is a TSB for many of the Sedonas. They require a relearn according to the TSB. Only those shops that can do programming or the dealer can help in that situation. I could be wrong, but I'd start there. Thanks for the comment.
So the door handle wasn’t the issue, you still had to replace the latch?
No. I only replaced the handle. I had to replace the handle a 2nd time, not long after this with an OE one instead of aftermarket junk.
Nice job👍🏻
Thank you 😊
@@CubasAutomotive i have. A kia sedona or carnival can i ask something? Wers the motor that pulls and close the slide door ? Because the actuator motor is to small
@@jayalcantara6372 unfortunately, I do not have 1st hand knowledge. This door was manual slide with electric lock switch. However, I did a quick search and found this link... I hope this helps you. Looks like the motor is in the middle of the door.

A true mechanic. Looking at other things besides the job at hand. You know Dorman will be at TST right? Your going to have to answer to them for you for comment. (ha ha) Actually, they have a lot to explain if they want continued business. You working behind the door cracked me up. Nice repair Cuba.
I would love for them to ask me why I feel the way I do about their parts. I thought they were the bee's knees 20 something yrs ago, but quality has gone down drastically since. Not worth using most of their parts. I'd back it up with multiple examples! Lol. I remember them being there last year, but because "G" works with them now too, unfortunately.
Yes, always looking at the whole, hopefully warning the customer of future work, etc. Always great to hear from you Wyatt!! 😊😊🤗🤗
Cuba, you're a very good mechanic and a very smart woman too. You should know by now that dorman is junk.
Oh I do know this by now, but he's (the customer) is finally catching on! 😂😂
Gotta love having a helper right, she did good..Seems like I brushed up on my Spanish bad words during that 10x fast foward 😂😂 nice job Cuba those things are a pain in the culo 🤫
Oh my! You caught them??? I thought I had it fast enough! Hahahaha.
Yeah, she's amazing. Glad to have her giving me a hand!
Spot on! That job was TOTALLY a pain in the culo!! 😂😂😂 Looking forward to doing that latch soon! 😅
Cuba’s automotive, I use to work at a Kia dealership. There’s a TSB for that issue on the Sedona. It requires using a Kia scan tool.
The latch? Yes, I'm aware now. I never thought to look for TSBs prior to the call. Unfortunately, not a recall though, so the customer isn't using the door for now and waiting to come up with the funds for an OE latch. 😕
I appreciate the comment! I'm glad to see people call things out like that! Thanks! Have an awesome night! ☺🤗
But it wasn’t the latch. It’s a computer relearn.
@@orestino6212 these aren't the automatic or electronic doors, if that's what you mean. The actual mechanism is binding, the jaws have that plastic coating (and falling apart), so the jaws aren't opening all the way every time the door is opened (the plastic is getting stuck in the jaws). Then latches shut, on its own, not allowing the door to close once pulled to close. If I can express myself well enough.
The only electronics in the sliding door is window motor & switch, and lock actuator.
Gracias me ayudo mucho tu video
Gracias Cesar 😊 Saludos!
Your welcome, when I can't sleep at night, I watch Eric O, Ivan and now, you, I'm enjoying your's bcuzI haven't seen them and Eric O always mentions u as a "blue wrench" on what's up Wednesday...lol
Does ur daughter enjoy helping and how old is she, any other kids? Where r u located?
I have a 21 yro... that's it. 1 and done. Out in Philly, PA.... the city of "brotherly love"... 😂😂😂
Hello Cuba!! Costumer was there first? Double the labor!! Lol
Hahaha....YES!! I'll let him know! Gracias por el comentario Maic!! 🤗😊
It's much easier if you move the door actuator out of the way. The handle is behind the actuator.
Behind lock actuator? Curious.... so long ago, so many cars ago.... lol next time I'm working on that van, I'll have to check that out.
I was searching for videos on door handles for 2012 Kia Sedona and saw your video. Getting ready to fix a broken handle when parts arrive.
you're suppose to get all that handle uninstall from the inside and need to remove that door actuator so you have room .
Thanks to the both of you for a great video. Well done! I think the poorly made cheap parts that are out there today are even going to get worse, and with more of them. Some of the automatic transmission replacement stuff is poop.
TakeCare,
Bill
You ate spot on Bill! I don't see an improvement anytime soon! I agree with the transmission parts, but I try to go OEM, unless I'm upgrading. I'll use TransGo, Superior, Sonnax, for aftermarket pieces...my
Thanks for stopping by Bill! 😊😊🤗🤗
Just a friendly suggestion to help you improve your videos. This would normally be a 8-12 minute video. 36 minutes is really long if someone is trying to learn how to do this repair. If I see 2 videos for the same thing I always look at the shorter one first to see if it is enough info to get the job done. Less is more I guess. Kudos that you are doing videos though, and repairing cars. Hope my suggestion helps for future videos. Hope you keep making them. Good luck
Next time you see Eric o, you should tell him IF YOU CAN DO IT , I CAN DO IT.
Buen trabajo.

Cuba, why are you still driving that old s-10? Why don't you treat yourself to something newer like a Colorado or a Tacoma.
The S10 is perfect for my needs. No emissions needed, nothing wrong with it. Cheap to maintain. The bed is a good height, in comparison to others where I need to climb up or use a step ladder to gain access to anything in the bed. Less computerized things, so no modules or big money items to replace. I also don't want the payments.... or the higher car insurance payment. Lol
Who's the girl helping you?

those sliding doors are always a pain. i couldnt get my fat arm in there if my life depended on it. now if only i could get a flashlight holder like that that dint slip all the time....
Hahahaha.... yeah, she's one of a kind, that flashlight holder! The Kia sliding door is the worst I've worked on to date!! Lol Most others have access holes or just a better design in general. Not looking forward to the latch replacement. Lol 😂😂 Thanks for the awesome comment Richard! 😊🤗
Are you wearing gloves to protect your pretty nails
😂😅😅That is my usual reason, to protect my hands & nails, so I can still go out or be feminine out of work.
Garbage video now I don't know what to do how is there no information on the internet on how to get the bolt out literally I've tried over 40 sockets everything I can possible think of and it won't move nothing even fits onto it theirs nothing that fits it like is it a special size how does nothing fit it
I'm sorry you didn't find it helpful. Not much I could do without the camera being in my way or my head or hands in the way of the camera. It's a 10mm head i think on the nuts.... if you're talking about the bolts of the handle protrude through the door. Some cheaper sockets have too much of a bevel and the bolt or socket has to be much farther in the socket before it catches. Grind off the face of the socket to fix that issue. Hope that helps. I get the frustration... this door handle was not fun.
Korean junk...lol / I use to sell Korean vcr's in the day, Goldstar was the name, they all got returned...
Those must b ur favorite earrings?
My dad use to call everything "guy", also...
They are just earrings I made. Not my favorite, but typically my daily pair.
Hmmm. Binge watching, eh? Thanks for the comments! 😊
I have a 2007 Kia Sedona and I have to say it is way better quality and more reliable than the 1999 Chevy Tahoe that I used to have. Blown engine @115k miles. Thanks Chevy.
I don't work for Kia and I prefer American made when possible but this vehicle is not what I would call junk. Just saying.
