Clay,
I can not even get it to open in manual mode. I looked at the opposite door
and there are two latches that lock in when driving. I also removed the
other doors inner panel to see how the mechanisms worked. The latches appear
to be jammed and will not release to open the door, which makes impossible
to fix the electric door drive cable!

May view would be to sell as is due to age and mileage. Nicely appointed,
but once you start mucking about with the door electronics, the likelihood
of greater damage incurred in replacing the failed wires would reduce sales
price. Could take a look at how the wires are routed from the opposing
door and maybe you find a way to put 12v so it can pop open for repair?
Did you check fuses. Dr. Booth admonished all to check and replace fuses,
which alleviated a plethora of issues.

I have a 2004 Toyota Sienna which is my wife’s car and she no longer
drives. It has 287,000 miles on it and run just fine. We had bought it
used 6-8 years ago and has served us very well. It is an XLE model with
all the bells and whistles. Added features are backup camera, built-in DVD
player and head phones, parking avoidance sensors', heated front seats,
and auto distance tracking under cruise control. It is a very nice van and
we have used it for camping trips into the Smokes and to the East coast
pulling a popup camper.
I have spent the last several weeks cleaning it up, inside and out and
during this time frame the passenger door power door cable decided to
break. No problem it has a manual mode, but when I closed the sliding door
the latches jammed and I can not get the door open. For some reason the
sliding door refuses to release and open.
My options are, sell as is, or fix the sliding door than sell.
A complete door from a pick-n-pull is about $75, if I wanted to take the
time and destroy the current door to get it open. Or I could try and start
pulling interior panel and seeing if I can get the door open. Just not
sure if it is worth it to try to fix before selling it?
Just trying to put it out there on which way to go.
I am retired, so I can take whatever time is needed.
Thank you, sorry it not a Mercedes question.
