My Alphard power door did not operate as usual. Sometime it look like the cable pully slipped the cable inside the door. I can heard that the motor was spinning but the door was not moving at all. Reset the power door by manually close and open it and hold on the power door button near the dashboard for 10sec. Test it and at first the power door is open and close normally but with hard sound. 2nd time, it won`t operate anymore. I am aware that this is common problem for Alphard ANH10W since my Alphard is 8 years old already. It all about part life-span.
Suspect that the cable is broken/snap.I check around the power door and did not notice any abnormal cable condition. Dis-assemble the interior door trim to check the cable inside the door trim. Finally, i noticed that the cable is tangled at motor pulley due to the plastic that shielding the cable is stripped out. The housing`s pulley is broken into 3 pieces!!! At first, honestly i have no idea on how to repair it. Call the guy from advertisement in mudah.com.my, was told that the repair cost is RM950!!!... Waaaaa.... so expensive. Look like i had to hold the repairment.
The day after, i want to repair myself. It is broken anyway, so why not to do some experiment..hehehe...
My method:
1. Remove the broken pulley housing.
2. Pull out the cable that is tangled on the pulley.
3. Remove the remaining stripped plastic on the pulley.
4. Clean the pulley with WD40 oil.
5. Remove the plastic shielding that cover the cable where cable enter and exist the pulley.
This is to avoid tanglement in future.
6. Re-assemble the cable on pulley.
7. Put the pulley back to its motor gear.
8. Glue back the pulley`s housing.
9. Put the housing back to the pulley.
So, i save RM950 for time being....
Believe that this is temporary solution due to the cable now did not have shielding which expose it to the corrosion later on.
Hopefully, it will give me the enough time to dig out RM950..hehehe
Heard that the RM950 come with the new notor + pulley + cable. Sold in the complete package. Seller refuse to sell the part by part because it already come in a package.
