2000 Honda Odyssey EX from North America - Comments

I have a 2004 Odyssey and the left power door just stopped working. I have bought the actual Honda Manual ($70.00) and here is the fix (beyond the #13 fuse - which is in the manual)

My issues was: "Left Door will not open with the sliding door switch, either door handle, or with any remote transmitter"

The fix: The Fule Door switch or circuit: Preforme the following tests: Sliding dooor lock control unity input test, Power door Locks.

I pulled the fuel door handle (which I heard do something with the door), made sure the the little 'stick' decompresses fully when the fuel door is closed, pressed the unlock button... and there you go. It works like a charm.

Hope this helps.

Our 2001 Odyssey passenger side sliding door stopped working totally today i.e. no motor noises when using key fob or interior switch. The cause was my young daugter pulling on the handle before the car was unlocked.

The fuse #13 really works for the sliding doors!! BUT it didn't appear to work until I made sure the sliding door was in the fully closed position.

It was actually our Port Moody Honda dealer who told me to try this - guess how he found out? He owns a 1999 and his wife found the fix on this web site!! Too funny!!

"I currently own a 2003 odyssey and have continuous problems with the power sliding doors. Unfortunately they grind and make screeching noises and ultimately stop working. We have had it into the dealership numerous times and have been told it is because we drive on dirt roads. Have the newer Odyssey power sliders been redone for efficiency?"

My 2003 Odyssey is giving me the same problems, only with the driver's side door. I don't ever drive on dirt roads. I took it in for its second transmission and told them about it and the dealer cut me off. "I'll have them grease it for you." Like he knew exactly what I was talking about. Problem is, the greasing did not help. It shudders so bad when it closes that it has started to chip the paint next to the roller track.

Any ideas what do do? Are there instructions anywhere on taking the door apart so that I can try to lube it up better or see if any of the parts are worn?

Thanks.

Fuse 13 works on my 01'EX! I had left the dealer in the morning because the wait was too long. I fixed it myself in the dark with a flashlight to locate the fuse puller after finding this site. Thank you so much!

Here's my fuse 13 story. Driver side sliding door stopped working. Wife asked to get repaired. Took to Honda Dealer. Told it would be $999 to replace door motor. Negotiated down to $869. They had to order motor. Found this site looking for a used motor. Went back to dealer next morning. Did the fuse 13 trick and door worked. Told them I fixed it myself and told them how (I don't expect them to tell anybody).

Had iginition switch worked on from recall and pick up Odyssey this evening.

Still one problem. Radio stays on after the ignition is turned off and key is out. After about 30 seconds the radio goes off. Any thoughts?

Thanks again for the fuse 13 fix.

01 Ody... Will not start, battery may be dead, but small cord on positive is making small sparks and burnt the terminal cover, juicy jump-start starts it, does not go dead when negative is removed, but will not restart on its own.

What is that small cord on the positive? Suggestions?

2000 - drivers side automatic door would not work after my 4 year old continually tried to open it while I was trying to unlock it... Thanx Very Much to the originator of the Fuse 13 Trick... I had already checked the automatic door fuses under the hood... and was just about to take it in to the dealer tomorrow... found this site... called home... told my wife to find fuse 13 and pull it out... she pulled it out for about a minute... then put it back in and presto... the door is now working again!!!

THANX!!!

My 2000 LX decided that the power lock on the driver side sliding door didn't want to work, which meant having to crank your arm through the driver's door to manually unlock it. What a pain! I came across this thread, but wasn't sure if fuse #13 would work on my 2000 LX since it has manual doors as opposed to power doors. I decided there was nothing to lose except an expensive trip to the dealership! Pulled fuse #13 and fuse #12 (power lock fuse) for 45 seconds, popped them back in, and voila! We're back in business! I'm not sure if it was #12 or #13 that did the trick, but does it matter? It works again! Thank you whoever posted this little trick!

Why don't we just put one post to replace the thousands of posts that just say "fuse 13 works". Duh! I've had to do this many times. The Honda doors are crap.

"Why don't we just put one post...", he asks?? Because, we are Happy!! Happy, Happy, my cup is filled to overflowing with Happiness and Joy, now that I have found this wonderful marvelous Fuse 13 Trick. Yes, it worked for me too!!! Just think -- three weeks of worrying, worrying, how many hundreds and hundreds of dollars will the crafty dealer charge me to fix this, and all it took to fix it was... thirty seconds! (and my needle nose pliers - those fuses are so tiny!) And now I am so Happy! We are all Happy; my wife is Happy (she was Happy before, except about the broken door - she has a Happy disposition, whereas I am more inclined to be anxious.) We are all Happy! No more need I haul my little boy in through the front door like a sack of potatoes to get him into the back, straining my back, and always bumping that little tray between the seats, which collapses, spilling all our junk everywhere, everything rolling under the seats, and always at the worst possible time, when you're in a hurry, and you have a headache, and you have to go to the bathroom, and the pennies are the worst, I hate it when the pennies fall down into those little cracks, just out of reach, mocking me and my fat fingers, and you can't just leave them there, even though the time it takes you to extract them is worth more than a penny, and so you have to go looking for your needle nose pliers again. But now, no more worries, just we are all Happy! Thank you, thank you, whoever you are, for the wonderful marvelous Fuse 13 Trick!!!

This is not a fuse #13 issue, since I have manual sliding doors on my 2002 Honda. Warm or cold weather makes no difference. After opening the sticking doors (with great difficulty) they will open normally for the remainder of that day. However, the very next day they are stuck again. I've tried every lubricant known to man, with no success. Has anyone found a cure for this condition, or am I the only one having the problem?

Well, since there are so many simalar problem on honda oddyssey. can this be a recall?

I own a honda oddyssey 2001 van. I have a problem with the passenger slide door not openning. I have try to pulled out the fuse 13 but didn't work. I disconnected the battery positive terminal and put it back on and it work..

If anyone try to reset fuse 13, 10, 4 or 5 and the door still does not work automatically. You can try to reset the fuse box "P/S Door". It is right beside the battery. It will work and you do not have to re-enter the security code for stereo or any other setting that reset from the result of disconnect the battery.

Yet another satisfied user of the "fuse 13" tip. Thanks to whoever posted. He/she made a lot of people happy.
