We also have a 2000 Honda Odyssey, with numerous rear door problems. Recently the passenger rear door went dead. I read the posting about unplugging fuse #13 for 30 seconds and tried it, knowing that it was bogus. Wrong! It cured the problem! Amazing. Hard to believe that there have been soooo many problems with this issue, yet no recall or notice from Honda. Very disappointing. Really have to question whether another Honda is in our future.
Took my Odyssey to the dealership for regular tuneup at 45,000 miles. Mentioned that driver side sliding door was intermittently not closing completely. They just called and quoted me $450 for repair of the junction switched on both doors!!! Yikes!!! The service manager was "kind" enough to give me a 10% discount on the whole bill even though the 10% coupon was just for standard service.
2001 Honda EX with power sliding doors. Driver's side door stopped working. Checked this website and the preceding thread. Pulled fuse 13. Door now works fine. Whoever discovered this fix should receive a commission.
I own a NICE used 2002 Odyssey and after a recent snow/ice storm the passenger power door stopped working completely! I am going to try some of these suggestions. Thanks a bunch! Also I am too having grinding of the brakes. Terrible noise. My mechanic says they are fine. I think Honda needs to fix some of these problems!!!
Another 99 Odyssey owner-- in Alberta Canada. Every fall, the driver side door stops working when winter arrives. I do the fuse 13 maneuver, clean and grease the door slide surfaces I can reach, and that's it for the year.
I highly recommend to buy the service manual (it was about $300 Canadian) as it has saved its cost already.
As for the clock lamp, get a hobbyist electronic type to remove the clock and install a light emitting diode (LED) in it and you will never need to replace it again.
We have a 2000 Odyssey EX whose doors act up quite often, but we shoulder on. Last week I ran the car through a car wash during a hard freeze (Iowa). Silly me. The door motors valiantly strained against doors that were stuck fast, so I let it go for a few days. Next time I tried, the motors weren't running. After verifying the 4 fuses marked as being for the power doors and having no luck, I came to this site.
Pulling fuse 13 for 30 seconds (I gave it a few minutes) worked! Whoohoo! I love you guys!
I tried the fuse 13 for the clock and it worked. I was about fifteen minutes from taking the van into the repair shop (the wife was yacking at me) and I saved a bunch of money at Geico, just kidding. I have a Chilton's manual and the circuit stops at a multiplexer. I couldn't follow it any further. I suspect that the fuse also powers that same devise, whever it is located.
I have a 2000 Odyssey EX. The right rear door went dead two days ago. I looked at the fuses and there was no problem. I came to this site and tried the fuse 13 for 30 seconds. It worked Yahoooooooooooooo. Thank you very much you saved me a trip to the dealer.
OK, now I'm a beleiver too!. I pulled the fuse and now I have at least one door working properly. Does anyone have any comments/advice on why it only worked for one door. The right side passenger now works after pulling and replacing #13 fuse.
I have a 2001 Odyssey and I'm sure glad I found this web site! I pulled fuse #13 and guess what?!!!
That's right. The sliding door works fine now. The fuse DOES work the clock too.
Has anyone tried this trick with the fuse that is supposed to be for the sliding doors? I was tempted, but didn't want to press my luck.
Both sliding doors of my '00 Odyssey got stuck today, and my kids had to get in from the passenger's side door as if it was a bus. I have been reading here about pulling the fuse #13, but no one seemed to indicate how to do this. Can anyone tell me how to locate this fuse #13 please! Thank you!
#13 fuse panel is located by front passenger right foot. Diagram on inside of cover shows location of #13.
My sliding door would not operate. I pushed the switch and tried the door handle and nothing. We pulled fuse 13 and it works. My husband did not believe this would work, because fuse 13 controls the clock. Thanks so much.
I can hardly believe fuse 13 worked! We had been without use of the sliding doors for about a week now, and with 3 kids needing to climb in and out I was ready to take it to the dealership tomorrow. I had a momentary let down before I remembered to switch the power on for the sliding doors! My husband is going to be sooo surprised. Thanks to everyone for helping me fix the doors!
I love the person that recommended the 30 second removal of Fuse 13 trick (For those just coming in, its on the bottom of the second page). Thank you so much for the trick, it probably saved us hundreds of dollars. And guess what, IT WORKS.
