1999 Honda Odyssey LX review from North America
"Overall, this van has given us a good service and are happy to have it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Odyssey LX 1999.
2/15/08 during first cold front, passenger side automatic sliding door stopped in midway (half open and half closed), juggling with the inside electronic open/close switch made the door go back and forth a little bit, but finally locked in the midway and won't move an inch with manual push back or forth.
There is no obvious obstruction/broken roller or any objects in upper or lower tracks.
I have tried the fuse # 12, #13.
I have tried the reset fuse box "P/S door" beside the battery under the hood.
I have tried disconnecting/reconnecting the battery hot wire.
Nothing has worked to move this door even an inch, NOT even manually.
After resetting any of the above methods, it would, for one time make a hummm... and 3 beeps from the failed door and then dead again.
Anyone in this long post since 2003 has had the similar sliding door problem and was able to fix it magically, otherwise, I believe this car has to go to workshop and I will have to drive it with door open.
