On my 2008 it took a good long time to get the wretched bulb holder back into it's home . Right side was worse than left. I also replaced all the bulbs so I don't have to pull the plastic covers off again. As I learned from some other poster let the bulbs hang and make sure everything is lit up before plugging them back in. Thanks for posting
thanks this was easier than i thought, after putting it off for 6 days. i didn't have an actuator arm, the pieces popped off cleanly in about 2 minutes. hardest past was the bulbs not coming out easily so i had to come back here and then use gloves and put some oomph into pushing them out counterclockwise with both hands. afterwards it was easy. i couldn't get one of the trim pieces by the arm to look perfectly flush anymore even though it's clipped and tucked in, but i guess nobody is going to look up there. probably a 15 min job with instructions
Just like most other how to fix it sites, you have made it look so easy. However, I had great difficulty just trying to pop out the bulb holder on the left, never could remove the bulb holder out on the right side. I was able to only remove the left bulb holder, but never could get it back in place.
6:42 to avoid this situation you need at least to disable the rear hatch by pushing the disabling button located on the left side of the steering column, right next to the disabling button of the sliding doors.
Great video. I wish I had this when I did this job. I did the other bulbs in the hatch while I was at it. I would like it if you did a video of what you would repair in advance on Sienna if you though you were going to own it for 200k+ miles and you had say 150k. I did coolant plate and bypass hose and inlet thermostat in my , coil packs, pcv, water pump, timing belt, radiator, condenser, compressor, clean throttle body and mass air flow, radiator cap, hoses and belts. Maybe at the end of each video cover what you could replace in advance with very little additional labor if you had the money to spend on the parts.
Excellent suggestion. I have pretty much been documenting my repairs as they come. I do have a few more videos upcoming and unfortunately will be sell this car, too. I think I will post a video covering all the repairs I made since I owned it and all the repairs left untouched. I am quite surprised how much attention I have needed to put towards this van. It's been quite needy over the years.
@@projectfixit Sorry to hear you are selling it. I’ll miss the videos! My Sienna is living in Hawaii and I visit it. I got it for $1,300. Im thinking about shot gunning control arm, strut, ball joint and other bushings. Im interested In what you think about the parts to shotgun at 175k
It’s not a bad design, as it’s just how it is. My 2015 lifted Scion xB has that too. But I notice Scion tC2 has a little plastic door panel, rather the whole plastic trunk panel.
It’s very easy and fun to work on when it comes to replacing the bulbs, by taking the easy plastic parts. Especially on Toyota. I would recommend Sylvania Zevo led.

Thank you! What a pain for a little lamp though! Very good instructions!
You're welcome!

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience!
LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. Diodes are semiconductors, meaning electricity will only flow one direction.

Thank you, figured the panel had to come off.
I had no idea you can take the inside panels off until I started watching your videos. Wow! I hope your speaker is still jammin.
...still jammin' and plenty of product videos for this mini van

um it's not the flip open door?
What a pain in the ass
But I got pulled ovwr last night not knowing they were out
Agree and I hear ya. Good luck and hopefully you only received a warning.
@@projectfixit yeah just warning
Got them done
Thanks for the video
Wow talk about bad design. There has got to be an easier way.
It’s not a bad design, as it’s just how it is.
My 2015 lifted Scion xB has that too. But I notice Scion tC2 has a little plastic door panel, rather the whole plastic trunk panel.
This is aweful. Why cant the owner just get the cover on the outside with 2 screws each and not having to remove all those covers!!!
All this just to change that little bulb....mine is staying burnt out 😅

I would recommend Sylvania Zevo led.
i got pulled over with a warning and now i'm here.
Sweet Jesus! I love my van but this is a cluster.
Yep. Be careful. The metal is hsrp under there.
Horrible HORRIBLE japanese design! Definitely designed to sell... not replace.
