2007 Kia Sedona. Your video was spot on. Even the "oh crap" moment after assembly where it didn't work till I closed it manually. Thanks so much! Wife is very happy now! 😁
Keeping my 2008 Kia Sedona running -- this video helped immensely because my passenger side power door quit working. I can’t believe that something as small as that motor could cause such a problem. BUT, your video saved me a LOT of money and made fixing the problem very easy. $15 vs. hundreds at the dealership is great! (However, you were right about that tarry stuff they used around the inner plastic behind the door panel - that stuff was BAD!). Entire job took about An hour and was pretty easy. Thank you again for the video!!
The dishonest Kia dealership quotes me $580 to fix this. Got the motor from their parts department for $16 and did it myself with your video. It was a lifesaver on a tight budget. Thank you!
Thank you for this video. I needed to replace both my actuator as the door was sticking and also the door handle which was broken. This video helped me knock out two problems and saved me the $300-400.00 my local mechanic would have charged. I estimate the Hyundai dealer would have been around $500-600.
This was a great video! I can't thank you enough. I think the hardest part was getting the interior handle off which you specifically mention how to do. Everything was very precise as I was able to save $500 from the dealers quote by following your directions. Well done!
Great video. Saved me thousands from having dealer do it. They wanted to replace whole internal mechanism. Best video I have seen with all steps. Thanks.
+Mike L Thanks for the comment, Yeah when I did mine I only found one video that didnt have any detail, So I wanted to make one showing more detail, glad it helped.
Thanks for making this video. Like you said, the other video didn't show all the detailed steps so I found your video to be more helpful. Tried this yesterday and it worked like a charm. Saved myself at least a couple hundred $s. Thank you.
Thank you so much! Just fixed my 2009. Only hiccup was I didn't notice that you had not taken out the window track, which I did. So, I wasn't sure which side of the cable it should be on. Also, make sure the track is lined up with the window when put back. I know..should be obvious, but I didn't notice that. Fortunately, I discovered it before putting it all back together. Again...thank you very much for this video!
Thanks so much for thoroughly explaining how to remove those green and blue wires from its actuator l had a hell of a time with the lack of detail from the last video l watched. The time that you took to explain directions detail by detail really made a difference, very much appreciated☺
Thank you. I've just followed your video and fixed one of my doors. Going to order the part and fix the other now. You've shown me how to fix a problem my local Kia dealership couldn't fix. Phil
I just finished this job, and here are some of comments that need to be mentioned if you attempt this. 1) The easiest way to remove the back-most bottom screw on the door panel is to get the door near the closed position to where you can fit a screwdriver on the screw head with the handle being inside the cabin; I found it quite easy to lay on my back (on the ground, not on the floor board) with the door almost closed to remove and install that screw. 2) Have the door closed about 3 quarters (3/4) of the way when trying to remove and install the door panel. 3) Do no lower the window when doing this job; leave the window in the fully up position. 4) It is not necessary to disconnect the cable going to the housing that the little motor is installed into; the housing can be opened with it attached. 5) I found it necessary to remove the gears from the housing that the little motor is installed into, otherwise I could not get the gear teeth to mesh up; maybe it can be done, but I couldn't figure it out. There is a spring loaded wedge assembly that holds a smaller gear to the lid of that assembly that I removed. I suggest you attempt to install without removing the gears and only remove if it just won't go together. 6) The window guide must be positioned in front of the cable that attaches to the outside part of the door (this requires that the actuator unit be positioned first (not bolted in, or even the studs inserted into the holes; just get it in the correct orientation), then the window guide second to where the cable loops around the right side (on a driver side door) of the guide (otherwise it would intrude on the path of the window when operated. The window guide will need to be mounted (not necessarily tightened down) first before mounting the actuator assembly. It took me about an hour to and hour and half to complete; it was my first time to do this job (hopefully the last time too).
Thank you for the video. This was outside my comfort zone but after watching your video a couple of times I thought I would give it a try. Took me a lot longer than most folks but the door works just fine. Thanks for all the tips in the video. I needed them all!
You are welcome, that is why I did the video, its actually a fairly easy fix, just takes some time, and saves a lot of $$$$$ for what the dealer wants to charge.
So glad to find this one. Here in Australia we have to buy the whole mechanism for $2500Picked up an "unlisted" solenoid for $60 bucks.. booked in Wednesday.
Followed this exactly and it works like a charm. Great video. If the door jams and you cannot hear the actuator, time to replace. Listen around the inside handle area of your working door to hear what to listen for.
Seriously, this was an amazing help! The only thing that I had a question on was whether or not the window guide bar went in front of or behind the door handle cable. I figured it out, but it may be nice to add that as a comment to your video.
Very educative and detailed video that I've been looking for. Have had that same problem for the past three months driving me crazy, thank goodness I have the same exact model too. First was the right door, and then the left. I'm gonna buy the part, follow this video, and will gladly relay my results. otherwise I'm very confident that's the problem. Thanks again.
Hi ...I have an 08 kia Sedona or here in OZ grand carnival, one of my Power doors is stuck shut and a cable is looking down from the door track area ..can see it from outside the car...do you have any ideas on how to get this done? Your video for the actuator replace is tops 👌 thanks
Great video. I have a 2008 Hyundai entourage, I changed actuator, but did not fix my problem with the door closing. When door opens fully it beeps. Will not close with power. Is there a sensor on the door, is where.
Great video, wonderful detailed procedures. I just wonder what the actual problem is? Is the actuator motor dead, or just worn out? As you show, if you give the door a little pull, it will then open or close by itself. I am curious as to why that is. Also, does the track need lubrication?
Glad the video helped, Sorry I am not a professional at this, just trying to help people save money, I have purchased a camera mount, that will hopefully help me with future videos.
Thanks for your help. The video was a great help and it solved my problem. Just a comment about the little plastic thing at the end of the motor, mine fell off leaving me to guess on how to put it back! Guess I got lucky..it worked. Thanks.
Betsy Neill Thanks for the comment, I'm so glad the video helps, It's always appreciated to receive comments, so I know the video is helping people, Yeah the small plastic attaches to the end of the motor, I believe the video shows me removing it from the old motor.
Thank you very much. I just finished and works great. Now, I need replace the shock absorbers and wonder if you have a video that shows everything in detail like this one. Again, thank you very much.
is this motor just for the power sliding door or the door locks. my locks will not work with the button or keyless entry. I dont have power sliding doors on my entourage
Hey Great video huge help. Quick question though, i have to replace both my passanger and driver actuators but, with the passanger side ive noticed that the pull cable on the fair back end of the door is hanging loose. Do you know if this is because my actuator isnt working?
Hi, No I don't believe the actuator would have anything to do with that, If the cable is hanging loose, I'd guess it is broke or come off a pulley somewhere.
Thanks, Hope the video helps, I have changed out several of these, and it has fixed the issue on all of them, I'm sure this would cost several hundred dollars for the dealership to repair, Doing it yourself is much cheaper, and it's not very hard. Let me know if the video helped and if it fixes your Entourage...
Good Vid. TIP: when the handle on the sliding door breaks off (cheap plastic inside), you will have to remove everything as you did (except lil motor), they may sell you a Chrome and white inside colored handle that will Not match you paint job, so you can use the old inside part by taking the pin out on the thin end of old one and hook the new part from new chrome looking (really plastic) outer handle onto the old inside handle that has proper color (even dealer mechanics miss this one...) as well the dealers "pencil whip" the lifetime oil change if it has low mileage and/or you didn't buy it from their dealership (i offered to pay for the oil change if they would only do it right, they may have done this twice in a row 6 mo's apart. BEWARE of wheeler dealers.
Queenz Trinidad sorry just seen your comment, Yes actually I did it for the Entourage and the Sedona, and they both took the same part. if you haven't found the part let me know and I'll try and get a part number.
This video is for the auto sliding door, which automatically pulls it closed and latches it, not sure if that is whats going on with yours, but 800-1000 is the price the dealers charge to fix the issue on this video.
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
Have to say this helped on both my doors. Very thorough and informative. Thanks for saving me a ton of money and hopefully karma has treated you well!!!
a;sdkjf;asjdf;kajsdfkjaksjdfkjas;kdfjak;sjdfk;ja;skdfjasjdf;kajsdf Thanks for the reply, I'm glad it helped you, TH-cam has helped me a lot, and if I can't find a good how to video, I try and make one when I figure out the best way to do the repair, this is a pretty easy fix, But I couldn't find a good video that showed all the steps involved, I am glad it helped, and I have gotten a lot of great responses.
Hi I just did this repair and my door works great now except will not open from closed latched position it actuates but does not release and slide open with Any of.the switches if.I Crack door open manually all buttons work and it engages and functions properly What could cause door to not open with switches?
Make sure you connected all internal cables that you disconnected to take out the motor. I had same problem because I didn't snap one of the cables back in all the way and it came loose
This video is the issue. You can buy this part on Amazon for 12 bucks www.amazon.com/2006-2014-Kia-Sliding-Actuator-81447-4D500/dp/B00U0NYJ0O/ref=pd_lutyp_cxhsh_1_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00U0NYJ0O&pd_rd_r=af7fc206-aaad-4010-b6f0-ccdfd5cbdb82&pd_rd_w=JtEii&pd_rd_wg=0wvZn&psc=1&refRID=710S6VEP4RKAWSEMRAMS
I have changed several of these, never had an issue like that, Are you saying you can't close the door manually or it automatically opens when you shut it?
gary Cooper The part you changed is for the power door, It won't affect you being able to manually close the door, I'd recheck everything, Has to be something didn't align up or maybe a rod is in a bind. make sure the rod on the latch beside the actuator is hooked up too. I believe there is 4 rods/cables total, 2 rods on the interior of the door, 1 cable for the outside handle, and 1 rod on the actuator.
OK. I don't get it. I worked on this. Went pretty well..had to do it a second time because the cord blocked the window. Now, the door is open and the same BS is happening, only worse. The door won't close AT ALL!
I put a door handle on my passenger sliding door on 2007 entourage today. Waiting for the motor to come in from korea to put it on the driver side. When I put it all together the inside door handle wouldn't open the door so I took it all apart then realized it was just the child protect lever was in the wrong position doh...............
Everything is lined up. The original problem was the door would start to close and then it would not catch and reopen. Therefore I replaced the actuator. But now it doesn't do anything but beep. The doors hook mechanism doesn't close, it's not in a stuck position. I can move it up and down with my finger. It just won't close around it. Very confused.
Yours sounds more like an issue with the door latch. The actuator on this video is for when the door wont open or close automatically with the power door button, For some reason it sounds like your latch is not latching even when you try and shut it manually, The door should still shut and close manually even when the power door isn't working, might have to replace the door latch. good luck.
Host knows what he's doing, but would've been much better if there was another person holding the camera and he was just hosting and pointing things out because the camerashakes too often and the shots are real close making it hard to see what he's doing and what he's talking about.
Thank you for the video! Just got through in less than one hour and door now works great. Hyundai wanted $680, I did for $14.
2007 Kia Sedona. Your video was spot on. Even the "oh crap" moment after assembly where it didn't work till I closed it manually. Thanks so much! Wife is very happy now! 😁
Thanks for the tip, save me a big Headache, and a lot of money
Thanks very much for the video. After watching I went to the dealer, got the motors for $24 each. Took about 45 min per door. You're a lifesaver.
It's always nice to get feedback and comments, glad to hear it helped...

Nicely done...this repair was quoted by my dealership at $1100 for both doors!!! $13 part and your video have me back in business :)
Thank you so much! Just fixed my 2009. Only hiccup was I didn't notice that you had not taken out the window track, which I did. So, I wasn't sure which side of the cable it should be on.

FANTASTIC VIDEO! SO GLAD SOMEONE TOOK THE TIME TO DO IT, YOU'RE A STAR!
Thank you. I've just followed your video and fixed one of my doors. Going to order the part and fix the other now.
You've shown me how to fix a problem my local Kia dealership couldn't fix.
Phil
Your welcome Phil, So glad my video helped, It is an easy fix for a serious problem, and it seems to be a very common problem.
Just found this vid and fix my door that's been bugging me for ages. Many thanks!

contact details?
Thank you so much. I was successful fixing our door with the help of this video.
Thank you for this video! I fixed both doors on my 2007 Hyundai Entourage with the help of your video!
do you know what the part number was for the motor?
Thank you for posting this it help me with my Hyundai Entourage I had to replace the drivers side sliding door exterior handle.
Very educative and detailed video that I've been looking for. Have had that same problem for the past three months driving me crazy, thank goodness I have the same exact model too.

Thank you, thank you, and thank you. You can’t imagine how much
you helped me. Awesome
+Nick Hambar You are welcome, It makes doing the videos worthwhile, when I receive these awesome comments.
Thanks for your help. The video was a great help and it solved my problem. Just a comment about the little plastic thing at the end of the motor, mine fell off leaving me to guess on how to put it back! Guess I got lucky..it worked. Thanks.

thanks for the great vid! I imagine you disconnected the batt to move the door manually (with out the motors engaging) yes?
Actually you can just remove the 30 amp fuse located in the rear fuse block inside the jack stowage area - saves having to reset everything later!
Thank you, this will be a tremendous help !!! Thank you for your time and effort!
Thank you very much. I just finished and works great. Now, I need replace the shock absorbers and wonder if you have a video that shows everything in detail like this one. Again, thank you very much.
+Ed Colo Hello Ed, sorry I don't have a video for that at the moment, I do try and do my videos in detail, so glad this helped in your repair.
Your Welcome, So glad to hear my video has helped.
is this motor just for the power sliding door or the door locks. my locks will not work with the button or keyless entry. I dont have power sliding doors on my entourage

Thank you for the video. My Entourage is currently giving me the same issues, and I may just make an attempt to fix it at home and save some money.

***** So glad the video helped, I'm going to do more video's since I'm getting good responses.
Thank you very much very helpful I wish everybody do the same video as you
Thank you, I made this video almost 6 years ago, and I'm extremely glad to hear, that it is still helping,
Great video, very clear and well thought out. Thank you
Hello, so is this due to actuator failure?
Good Vid. TIP: when the handle on the sliding door breaks off (cheap plastic inside), you will have to remove everything as you did (except lil motor), they may sell you a Chrome and white inside colored handle that will Not match you paint job, so you can use the old inside part by taking the pin out on the thin end of old one and hook the new part from new chrome looking (really plastic) outer handle onto the old inside handle that has proper color (even dealer mechanics miss this one...) as well the dealers "pencil whip" the lifetime oil change if it has low mileage and/or you didn't buy it from their dealership (i offered to pay for the oil change if they would only do it right, they may have done this twice in a row 6 mo's apart. BEWARE of wheeler dealers.
My problem is the driver's side sliding door won't lock with keyfob or button. Is this the right part to fix this issues?
Hi. Would this part be why my doors will close but not open ?
did you do the repair for the Hyundai and do you have the part number for the Hyundai entourage
Queenz Trinidad sorry just seen your comment, Yes actually I did it for the Entourage and the Sedona, and they both took the same part. if you haven't found the part let me know and I'll try and get a part number.
Is this for the door lock or the sliding door? My door works but occasionally does not close correctly. Dealer is telling me 1000 for just the part.
This video is for the auto sliding door, which automatically pulls it closed and latches it, not sure if that is whats going on with yours, but 800-1000 is the price the dealers charge to fix the issue on this video.
It is really nice. thank you so much. I `ve got a good new experiance to do it my self.
thank you for the video make me the replacement really easy thanks again
Your Welcome, Always glad to hear the videos help...
God bless for this knowledge !
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
Thank you so much you saved the day.
Have to say this helped on both my doors. Very thorough and informative. Thanks for saving me a ton of money and hopefully karma has treated you well!!!

Hi I just did this repair and my door works great now except will not open from closed latched position it actuates but does not release and slide open with Any of.the switches if.I Crack door open manually all buttons work and it engages and functions properly What could cause door to not open with switches?
Hi, sorry not sure what would cause that.
Make sure you connected all internal cables that you disconnected to take out the motor. I had same problem because I didn't snap one of the cables back in all the way and it came loose
Great vid. I hope to get mine done shortly. Thnx
Where can I buy Door Lock Actuator Motor ?
Replaced both sides easily. Problem I have now is it won't shut all the way, as if it's hitting something making it return. Any ideas?
Hmmmm, I'm not sure, sounds like something is lined up correctly or is in a bind.
Awesome we'll explained 👏
Great video, very helpful.
Problem I'm having with mine is the passenger sliding door won't move unless opened or closed manually? Any ideas??
This video is the issue. You can buy this part on Amazon for 12 bucks www.amazon.com/2006-2014-Kia-Sliding-Actuator-81447-4D500/dp/B00U0NYJ0O/ref=pd_lutyp_cxhsh_1_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B00U0NYJ0O&pd_rd_r=af7fc206-aaad-4010-b6f0-ccdfd5cbdb82&pd_rd_w=JtEii&pd_rd_wg=0wvZn&psc=1&refRID=710S6VEP4RKAWSEMRAMS
Nice Video! Thanks!
My back sliding doors where open and my kids tried rolling the windows down now they want go all the way down any more only like 3 inches
Did exactly as the video showed. It just beeps and doesn't move. It won't stay closed manually now also. I'm completely confused.
I have changed several of these, never had an issue like that, Are you saying you can't close the door manually or it automatically opens when you shut it?
Can't shut it manually. The door wont catch. Had to use a bungee cord. To keep it close. The open door alarm keeps beeping the whole time I drive it.
gary Cooper The part you changed is for the power door, It won't affect you being able to manually close the door, I'd recheck everything, Has to be something didn't align up or maybe a rod is in a bind. make sure the rod on the latch beside the actuator is hooked up too. I believe there is 4 rods/cables total, 2 rods on the interior of the door, 1 cable for the outside handle, and 1 rod on the actuator.
Did you ever figure out the problem? I'm having the same issue with my doors right now.
I'm giving it a shot right now let you know when I'm finished.
Done
J.B. Eid Glad to hear.
OK. I don't get it. I worked on this. Went pretty well..had to do it a second time because the cord blocked the window.
Now, the door is open and the same BS is happening, only worse. The door won't close AT ALL!
I put a door handle on my passenger sliding door on 2007 entourage today. Waiting for the motor to come in from korea to put it on the driver side. When I put it all together the inside door handle wouldn't open the door so I took it all apart then realized it was just the child protect lever was in the wrong position doh...............
lol, Thats funny, Iv'e done similar things myself....
Everything is lined up. The original problem was the door would start to close and then it would not catch and reopen. Therefore I replaced the actuator. But now it doesn't do anything but beep. The doors hook mechanism doesn't close, it's not in a stuck position. I can move it up and down with my finger. It just won't close around it. Very confused.
Yours sounds more like an issue with the door latch. The actuator on this video is for when the door wont open or close automatically with the power door button, For some reason it sounds like your latch is not latching even when you try and shut it manually, The door should still shut and close manually even when the power door isn't working, might have to replace the door latch. good luck.
Thx

Host knows what he's doing, but would've been much better if there was another person holding the camera and he was just hosting and pointing things out because the camerashakes too often and the shots are real close making it hard to see what he's doing and what he's talking about.
