I just lubed my 2000 odyssey sliding door,there is a white grease that honda dealers sell for this purpose.it's a shin-etsu silicone grease. we had a lot of problems with sticking doors, and went thruu 2 handles, before I started greasing the ruber seals.
It is just a cable like any other Honda vehicle. NO need to get "hypochondriac" about the Odyssey. More problems will probably arise if you think that way.
I have a 2001 Odyssey EX and the driver's side power sliding door stopped working. I checked all the proper fuses (all O.K.) and therefore assumed the door would need to see the 'shop'...ca-ching! I stumbled on to your thread saying to take out fuse #13 (clock back up??) on the passenger side for 30 seconds and lo and behold the door now works!! I would like to reach out and offer a virtual medal to the hero who figured this out. Thanks!
2003 Honda Odyssey Issues - I've read interesting comments about the "Fuse #13" fix. Does this apply to 2003 models, too?
The factory-installed alarm of my van would suddenly go off? Does anyone know of ways to disable or reset the alarm?
Many thanks.
We have owned a 2000 Honda Odyssey for six years. The sliding doors (especially the driver's side) has been a yearly problem.
I just returned from the dealer, who could not look at the problem, until after lunch. So I googled the problem and found this site.
In particular, I would like to thank the author of the "28th Sep 2003, 08:46 Fix for inoperable electric sliding door on 1999 Honda Odyssey" posting. I followed his/her suggestions and pulled fuse # 13. This fixed the problem right away. Thank you for the helpful suggestion.

How about 2004 model Odyssey? My driver side door also wouldn't open, does the #13 fuse trick work on 2004 model. Let me know. Thanks. Does Honda know this problem?
I tried this # 13 on my 2004 oddyse driver side door problem. it did NOT work on my problem. the door made the beep sounds, but it would not open. any suggestions? thanks.
Thankyou to all for sharing Fuse 13 stories. We could (almost) write movie/book about it.
My 2000 Ex passenger side sliding door does not close properly/fully and the door alarm keeps yellin' if gear shifts out of parking.
Somebody has to have a good fix on this... we can't let the dealers rip us off!
I have the same problem with my 2000 Odyssey, door is closed, but the van doesn't think it is, indicator light on, buzzer sounding and interior lights coming on... if anyone knows a fix for this please let it be heard!!!
Driver side sliding door on my 2002 EX does not latch properly (final latch at the rear of the door) when the car is left outside in the rain. Never have the problem in dry weather. In two visits, the Honda dealer replaced the door switch assembly and every (3) roller assembly (bottom, middle, and top) in the door and guess what... same problem when it rains. Dealer was genuinely puzzled and apologetic particularly since we live in the rainiest place in the US.
Perhaps I'll trade it all in for a sunny climate... and Toyota.
Another fuse #13 success. I have a 1999 Odyssey and the driver side door stopped working 2 weeks ago after being frozen shut after rain followed by freezing temps. I have had problems in the past requiring me to clean the contacts and the fuel cap sensor getting bent, but this was new. I found this thread through google and I thought no way this will work, but I'll give it a shot. Amazing. All back to normal.
WOW!!! Fuse #13 just saved us big money. Called the dealership and they said c'mon in, we'll take care of it. I figured I would try the internet first and noticed this huge thread on fuse #13 and gave it a try. Funny thing is, my owners manual had fuse #5 as belonging to the passenger sliding door. Thanks folks.
2000 Odyssey EX. Passenger side sliding door problem. Just tried fuse 13. IT WORKED!!! MANY THANKS TO ALL OF YOU. Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007. GOD BLESS.
The ‘fuse 13’ fix just worked on my ’99 Odyssey as well. Just as I found this thread, I was about to disconnect the battery cable for a few minutes, which I presume would also have worked. This is conclusive proof that rebooting solves EVERYTHING.
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?
