My local toyota dealer quoted this repair at 340.
Toyota sienna side door cable snapped.
Chances are it s because the cable assembly is damaged.
Cut the cable so we could operate the doors manually.
It stopped working and you could see a rusted cable hanging outside of the third row window.
It was a lock release system failure.
You can replace the cable assembly yourself even if you have limited mechanical skills.
