- How I ultimately fixed a 2008 Honda Odyssey van rear sliding door with a single washer after refurbing the doors with info from other RUclips videos.
It's never a bad thing to learn more about the vehicles you own, even if it can be frustrating sometimes. Video assumes you know how to remove door trim.
You just solved an engineering flaw. that hole only needed an imbos design to push that bracket outward. ..Honda owes you a lot of money my friend
Thank you my brother!! You helped me bigtime with my issue. I had an old return spring from a carburetor I used to aid the switch to it's original position. Worked fantastic!!! Now my door works again and my wife is happy..........
Awesome. Now I just need a video on how to remove the inner door panel to get to this. What a PITA
exactly lol
Excellent video & case studies. If you have your doors stop working after battery replacement, always check your fuses & reset. I tried most of the ways to reset the fuses including fuse # 7. It didn't address the issue, but it may work on some. Other thing I tried was turning the main on/off switch to off position & opened/closed the problematic door 3 times. While the door was shut, I turned main on/off switch to on position & opened the door from inside & it worked. The problem I have now is the beeping sound which goes away gradually in this frigid winter. There are tons of videos, but I think he did an excellent job unmasking a flaw in the design.
Amazing. I replaced my door roller thinking it was the problem. The rollers were bad, but it didn’t solve my problem entirely. What you showed might be it.
When I have time, I’ll have to open the door panel. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent diagnosis and solution. Ours only does this when it's cold out. I appreciate you sharing this. Thanks!
YES! That is exactly my issue, I had problems last winter so we stopped using the door for the most part. Warm weather came along and the problem stopped all together, didn't think much of it. Then the last few days of 20F and we could barely get the door closed.
@@elisaprice9809 same
Same here .. when it's cold door won't shut !
@@tblakeman yeah I’ve been watching more videos. My passenger sliding door is unresponsive. I think I’ve got a couple things to look into. 1. Take apart the latch assembly, clean it out with some WD-40, and then lubricate with white lithium grease. 2. While I have it apart I’m going to use a multimeter to test the two switches.
@@tblakemanthis the problem I'm having today right now but you just certified what I need to hear so should I just leave it be or what
Thank so much for this video. You helped me big time.
Thank you so much for this video!
Your video gave me a visual representation on how the handle mechanism operates. A bend in the lower cable differed from your video which led me to inspect the forward latch where the other end of the cable attached. A pile of lubrication and all is working as advertised. Thanks once again!
Thank you @solorsix for posting this. Mine wouldn't close in the middle of our vacation road trip and your video helpes me get it shut until we can get home. Thank you for saving a mornkng driving to a dealer and sitting there when on vacation 🙌
Thanks for the detailed video. I've been dealing with this same issue for some time with my mother-in-law's van.
Some great information! It is a great starting point to figuring how to combat this issue.
Excellent video, I was amazed at how anyone could design something like this and expect it to last wtf we're they thinking when they designed this Thanks for your help.
Omg this right here fixes like 4 different scenarios i’m having. Thank you. Tackling it tomorrow.
Great explanation. You have a lot of patience and determination.
Thank you so much, I've been struggling with mine until discovering your video!
Thanks for sharing. I’ll be tackling a set of odyssey doors tomorrow. I appreciate you taking the time to record and explain.
Thanks for saving me a tons of money why this ain't been a recall is beyond me lol.
Thank you, sir. Just the video I needed. My van having the same symptoms. Will check into it
Thank you for your video and patience- this helps a lot with the same issue we have had for a very long time. Honda Mechanics could not figure it out. 😅
Exact issue i have
it will beep like crazy at time
this is amazing
thank you 🙏
trying now...great video...only you tube vid covering this perspective and fix...thank you
You should add 2 cent fix to the title XD nice work I will be checking my door out soon as it won't open or close unless I pull a fuse and then it seems to go back to not working again
I would cover that whole assembly in white lithium grease too!
Thanks for the info!
Thank you for sharing. Very professional approach.
Sounds like what I have going on… thanks
Soooo much
I’m working on same problem with 07 same color I just replaced Center rollers and I will try your fix I’ll get back and let you know. Thank you
Did putting washing as a spacer solve your problem?
Appreciate your knowledge on this issue
I am sure this will be my problem. Thank you so much!!!
Thanks very much. Although not yet tried j it on mine but thoughtful fix.
Great Video! I have a 2009 may need to do that in the future!
I used to have a 2009 Honda Odyssey EX-L w/res but we started to have electrical problems around 5 or 6 years old. We went to Gatlinburg, TN and we were riding horses except my cousin did not want to so he sat right in front of our van and we were about 2 miles in the woods and our panic alarm goes off 6 or 7 times and he was like i don’t know the pepole that own this car it kept going off. Then when my dad started the van the horn was just blaring not panic just blaring basically like you were laying on it. Then our automatic doors didn’t want to work then our auto tailgate didn’t want to work. So when it got about 8 or 9 years old we got a 2017 Honda Odyssey Touring of June 2017
Great job , thanks very much.
thanks for the post and the explanation
Thanks for sharing 👍 your findings
Thanks for sharing that, we do appreciate that
Great video. I have to try tomorrow. This is the next in a long series of auto sliding door woes.
This should help my old door do its basic job.
Thanks.
That is a design problem. The inner plate is too weak. As you pull the handle for x amount of time it bent the plate on the door. It should have a L bracket to support the plate.
The washer will resolve the issue. I suggest to use a small washer and other bigger washer.
Good luck
I have the same problem. I can feel when I pull the handle from outside that the tension isn’t there and that it’s staying open because it doesn’t suck it self close. So at the end just adding a washer to that bolt helped? Did you add washer behind the metal bracket or on top and then the bolt ?
Behind the assembly on that upper right bolt.
Mine does it in cold weather. Thanks for sharing.
Can you give me some information about lubricating the doors rollers?
Thanks
Sorry I didn't include lubrication, there are other videos that cover it pretty well. Something to check on while you are at it is those center rollers.
Mine is the same! Only in cold weather.
Would this be similarity designed for a 2011? Similar issues but my van is the next body style.
Does this issue of the door not closing all the way cause an whining noise while you put the van on Drive?
If the door is not latched properly, yes. When you put in drive the door alarm will sound.
Muchas gracias me a yudo mucho
I have the door latched shut and the handle, remote, and button are totally unresponsive, so the door is stuck shut. I want to try this, but have to see if the trim/door panel is removable with the door in the stuck shut position. The rear latch does not pull/suck the back of the door shut all the way, so the rear end of the door is slightly sticking out, not flush.
Doesn't sound like the same issue I was having, however, you will need the door open to remove the door trim at least in my experience.
@@solorsix I had the timing belt/components and a seatbelt replaced at the dealership and they returned the car with the door fully latched closed! I really wanted to ask how they got it to close, but didn't get anywhere near a tech. Maybe I'll call and ask how they did it... Now, I'll only open the door on the manual setting. The 'SLIDING DOOR" indicator light is staying lit now. I've checked the fuses that people and the owner manual say are related to that door, fuses all appear good.
My next steps will be to maybe multimeter test the fuses, and or, manually open the door and remove the door panel to check if the actuator is seized up and needs lubricating and to be worked back and forth...or it's common for a little microswitch on the rear latch mechanism to fall and need replacing.
@@mnmurph Not sure what year your's is, but I has the warning light "sliding door" come up and removed the 7.5amp fuse (drivers side, left hand side of footwell) labelled as "back up", making sure key off, remove the fuse for at least 30 seconds, then replace. This resets the sliding door error on the dash, then you can trouble shoot the door issue.
@@WozzieW it was a frayed (closer) cable that's jammed up inside
That's the same problem I'm having with my 07 Odyssey. Did you find the problem?
Would having problems with the powerslding doors closing properly cause the battery to drain overnight that's what my new used 005 is doing I have checked the doors yet as I haven't had time I just want an outsiders perspective
Please let me know what is the issue with the sliding door. I already have autozone, don't want to replace my battery. I been taking 3 times the battery back because is dead overnight.
Yes! This has drained my battery. I've had to leave the interior lights off and doors on manual
So what caused this part to bend out of shape do you think?
I have had many kids and adults alike, not realize that the doors are power doors, so try to manually puuull the door closed as it's already trying to close itself... while I've screamed 'let go, let go'!! That is probably what ends up bending the dang things. Mine are no longer sucking themselves all the way in to close, too. I wished I wasn't disabled, I'd be out there right now trying this. It only makes sense!
thanks sharring
To take that problem interior handle assembly off, disconnect the electrical leads and slide/wiggle the whole thing toward the rear of the van.
You need to remove that to get to the screws for the exterior handle. My handle broke--a crappy sintered metal piece that levers a cable broke after years of my daughter abusing it.
The outside handle is not connected directly to the inside handle (remember the window runs between them).
As to how your interior handle assembly got warped, I can't imagine. Maybe a strong kick would be enough push in the door panel and smoosh that thing? Or the part was run over by a forklift before assembly?
@solorsix, yes, thank you very much for this video! @travisfinucane - I am experiencing the same problem with the latch but now I think I know how it got warped. I live in Michigan and my two sliding doors froze shut recently due to an ice storm with extremely cold temps. As I was in a hurry one morning, I got into the van and pushed against all around the perimeter of the door in order to crack the ice. I'm almost 90% sure I pushed rather hard against the area with the handle and latch assembly. Now I will need to open it up, inspect the assembly and either try to pull it back or simply use a washer. We shall see.
good catch! but mine is manual door. any comments?
Thank you
I have the same problem but the door won’t shut. It’s wide open and no matter if I pull out on the back side of the sliding door or try the auto door shut off option. It’s not moving.
Try pulling the fuses trick. There are how-to videos on it that are super simple. I just can't recall exactly what right now, but it actually solved that. I know that it was the 'clock' fuse behind the little door panel on the front passenger floor area that worked on mine for that issue, but I just can't recall the 'steps' to do it.
Did you ever get "door open" sensors going off on the dash display? (When the doors are clearly closed)
My 06 odyssey just started thinking the passenger side sliding door is ajar but it's closed. I can't tell if there's an issue w the latch mechanism in the door or a jam or something w the track?
It's causing the interior lights to go on while driving so I've had to turn them off w the master switch by the right hand stalks.
Also caused the alarm to go off at random times. Very annoying, I'm sure my neighbours hate it too.
yes, I would get the beeping sound when in gear and passenger slide door indicator lit on dash. This was when the door didn't shut properly though. You can test for the end condition on mine easy. Switch off automatic slide door switch, open door manually with outside handle (being gentle don't let the handle slap back) close door slowly and when you get close to the door shutting, it should pull itself in and latch. If it does that, it's likely my issue is not your issue.
Put a low tension spring on it to pull it back all the way!
washer fixed it, never have had issue again.
I do have same problem here. I did clean and grease the rear door latch thingking thay was the problem But now i need to check my cable and that front mechanism.
Curious. Did you try the washer behind the bolt? Did it resolve your problem? I'm having the same issue. This fix seems simpler than taking out the rear mechanism and lubing. Would like to try to avoid that if I can.
Did you ever resolve it? Was it the same thing?
@@gmontenegro9711 you need to clean the front latch on the sliding door. And check your cables like the one on the video make sure that thing does not stock halfway, need to be going back all the way. That cable connect all the way to your latch.
If that cable getting stock the vehicle thinks door still open thats why its popping back up.
@@rss968 check your cables like the same thing on the video. The front latch was causing my problem and i did fix it by just cleaning the front latch and cables
What's that part called
Could this cause it to make alarm hoes off when change the gear to drive
Yes the alarm will be going off when you put it in drive in this condition
Solve the problem of Center Lock Odyssey in the comment
don't use that bolt, leave it out. lol
Its bent.
Too much Talk
If you’re patient and listen to it, all, it makes sense
