I just had the same thing happen to our 2001 Odyssey.
The problem on ours is that one of the rollers is missing on the center roller assembly for the door (the one that runs in the track hidden under the rear window). With a roller missing the door jerks because the assembly can rock front-to-back as the door closes. HondaPartDeals. com has a illustration of the "Slide Door Motors" assembly and on that drawing it is part 24. They only seem to sell it as a larger assembly (72520-S0x-A53). I just found it today so I haven't got the part or fixed it yet.
Hi:
One more reader to say thanks for the tip. I have a '99 with
214,000 miles on it and still chugging away
I just had trouble with the doors this weekend and was glad to find this site and learn about the #13 fuse trick.
Living in Canada I have experienced the cold weather problems with these doors like everyone else. Yet the car was built within 50 miles of where I live. One thing I have found on the passenger side door, is that the door often needs "help" to get around the corner where it hugs in tight to the car body. Otherwise it stalls out and retracts to fully open again. Today (April '07) I greased up the tracks and spray lubed the rollers to hopefully make it easier for the cable to pull the door closed. I used a little scotch brite on the electrical contacts to make sure there was no corrosion to give the electrical components a hard time. Anything to avoid having to replace a motor I guess.

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? <End>
Yes, there is a fix on Odyclub. com forum, using 3M porous surgical tape. Using the Honda, shi-etsu grease did not work for my LX either, and I've been through 3 door handles before doing the repairs myself and putting the tape on.
Good Luck.
"Fuse #13"...Works like a charm. I was just ready to call the dealer on my 2000 Odyssey with an in-op. passenger's side power door; tried the fuse trick and it worked! Thanks for the info... I just saved myself a boatload of money =)

I have a 2000 Honda Odyssey LX and have problems with a dead battery. This only happens occasionally. I can hear a clicking sound without the key being in the ignition. I disconnected the keyless entry, thinking that was the clicking I was hearing. It can be jumped immediately and then will not happen again for weeks or even months. Any help is greatly appreciated!!
I have a 2006 Honda Odyssey who's battery has failed for the third time. All the dealership can offer is the system checks out OK. I believe that something is draining the batteries, but I am getting little to no satisfaction with the dealers.
I am soon to run out of my waranty and do not want to end up stranded on the road yet again with this issue.
Can anyone shed some light as to what this may be?
Regarding the EX's sliding doors: I, too, was frustrated because both doors eventually failed. I was using one door since winter and no doors since May. My kids thought it was funny to have to climb through the hatchback. My local dealer estimated $550.00 to repair the "closing motors" on each door. Needless to say this was about to ruin an upcoming vacation. I found this web page by accident, the best accident I've had in a long time. The Fuse #13 works!!! When I did what the Sept. 2003 tipster suggested, both doors immediately worked. My happiness is surpassed only by my anger at my local dealer. I'm not sure what I'll do next, except to say a very deeply felt THANK YOU for the tip.
Thank you SO MUCH for this tip! The driver's side door on our 2001 Odyssey EX suddenly stopped working while we were on vacation. After checking all the labeled fuses, we ended up dragging the door open and closed manually, then turning off the power so as not to listen to the annoying alarm while driving.
Once home, we called our service advisor at our local Honda dealer, who told us to bring it in to be checked if we'd checked the fuses and done the re-set already. I've been making myself sick wondering how much a new motor would be, and discovered this website while surfing for info on that cost. Followed the directions on pulling #13 and lo and behold, door works again perfectly!
Here's hoping I find info this good on my broken washer next...
Can anyone please advise on the issue that a lot of people have posted...where the driver side sliding door does not close properly at the rear...you can push the door by hand...tried pulling fuse #13 did not do anything for the rear door closure issue... anyone that has great tip that works will honestly receive a $50.00 reward. Sorry, my experience just like everyone else is that dealers cannot be trusted. Please help!!!
Thanks,
Houston.
I'm having the same problem as Houston. My driver's side passenger door will not close properly. I have to push it either with my hand or hip to get it to close tightly. The #13 fuse thing does not work. I called the Honda dealer and they said the door is either out of alignment, or the electrical connectors (I am not sure of what they are called) on the sides aren't working properly. I don't want to spend a fortune on this if I have to take it in to the dealer.
Any suggestions out there?

Thank you for the fuse 13 trick!!! It really works! My girls will be so happy when get in the car tomorrow. No more climbing over their little sister's car seat:) Thanks again!!!
I have a 2003 Odyssey and I can't open my fuel door. When I pull the latch NOTHING!! And I need gas. Can anyone help?
Email me at onthepaper@gmail.com thanks.
I own a 2000 Odyssey with a clock light that has failed. The dealer says that the whole centre dashboard section has to be removed to access the clock module. Does anyone know if there is a quicker or simpler route of access? I suspect that the dealer probably simply wants lots of money for labour. They wanted to charge me many hundreds to fix my sliding door which the fuse #13 trick fixed in less than one minute at zero cost.
Having the same exact problem as Houston and Kate. #13 trick does not work. Please help.
I am having the same problem on my '02 Odyssey as the
one posted on "29th Aug 2006, 22:18". I tried Fuse 13,
and it didn't work. Have to try other fuses/battery still.
Any one has any other ideas. - Thanks.

Have '02 Odyssey with driver side power sliding door problem. Disconnecting/reconnecting Fuse 13 or other fuses didn't work. Neither disconnecting battery. I noticed that whenever I manually unlock, it goes to lock position. Also noticed that fuel door won't open. Any resolution?
