Does anyone have experience with the tow cable becoming loose or knk'ed. I need to access the motor assembly to fix, but cannot figure out how to get into it...2002 Odyssey... driver side.
Now door does not shut all the way.
I am also an owner of a 2000 Honda Odyssey with the same issues: bad transmission, sliding door problems, clock light out. This is ridiculous! Please join me in filing a complaint - particularly with regard to the sliding doors - and maybe we can get something done. File your complaint with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at www.nhtsa.gov. Thanks!
Better report the clock light to the NHTSA. That is very important pertaining to a recall. I understand you are very angry about the transmission, but it seems like all vans have this trouble. Sliding door troubles can happen to any minivan if the track is not kept clear of Cheerios, etc. I know this from experience.
We've owned our 2001 Odyssey since new and wouldn't trade it for any other mini van on the market. However, we just had our first major electric door failure yesterday. I'm afraid to ask how much this will cost me.
Add yet another frustrated sliding door customer who came to this site and saved a lot of money!
Our right-side sliding door wouldn't function from the keyless or the dashboard control following a batch of ice and freezing rain, and we had to manually yank it open and shut for the better part of a week.
Looked at the manual, and it actually said that the #11 fuse was the one that ran the door, so I just pulled both the #11 and #13 for good measure. I don't know which one did the trick, but I don't care; my door now works again like a charm!
My gas cover won't close any suggestions please email me a jbrockst01@northshore.edu please my drivers side door won't open nor close because of this problem.
I own a 2003 Odyssey and I have the sticking door problem when it's cold. However, mine is manual sliding doors so the fuse #13 trick will not work. Does anyone know of a solution for this problem? Greatly appreciated.
Chalk up another fuse 13 victory. Cold temps, son tried to open sliding door right when I was unlocking it. I couldn't open it even manually. Was about to take it into the dealer, and thought maybe I could find a tip online. Did I ever! Thanks, Fuse 13!
I also will never buy this vehicle again! The clock light has never worked, the doors have rarely worked and I backed into my husband's truck at 1 mph resulting in a $2500 repair bill to replace the back hatch. But I will try the fuse trick-thanks so much for the idea since that is the main frustration.
Another victory for fuse 13. Cold morning and sliding doors wouldn't open even manually. Half an hour later, passenger side door started to work, but driver side didn't. And the sliding door warning light came on and stayed on with the very annoying buzzing noise. Checked three or four fuses listed in the manual for power sliding door and didn't solve the problem. Was about to give up and take it to dealer. Then I checked this site. Man oh man how glad I did. The trick worked like a magic. Many many thanks to the poster. You made the first day of 2008 a very happy one.
Hi all.
About a week ago, during Xmas vacation, our driver side power sliding door went out. I then did my troubleshooting of all the important fuses. Stupid me to only look at fuses that said or had something about 'power slide door'. This didn't work so I asked my wife to just go ahead and make an appointment with the dealer for tomorrow. Well about an hour ago she came home and said that the other door is doing it too. So I googled '2001 Honda Odyssey power sliding door problem' and I came to this thread. It worked! The thing is I never really read the original post so I never read anything, but pull fuse #13 for 30+ seconds. So I pulled it while the engine was running and now I got my engine light on.
If you get this far into the forum and read my post don't pull the #13 fuse while the car is running.
What I would love to do is pull fuse 13 and leave it out. Then take it to the dealer and have them diagnose the problem and have them tell me it's going to cost whatever and then just simply pop the fuse in and tell them to...!!!
We just bought a used 2000 Odyssey for a great price. The price was partially due to the drivers side sliding door motor not working. I figured I'd have to spend a couple hundred bucks to fix it, but I looked on-line first. The fuse #13 fix was great - the door works like a champ now. What luck!
Another fuse #13 victory for the sliding door that didn't work! I had just called the dealership today for a price quote on the problem. They said that a new motor for the door would be $610 JUST FOR THE PARTS!!! Anyway, I pulled fuse #13 for 30 seconds, turned the van on, and voila... the door opened and closed by itself! Yay! My hubby was impressed with my mechanical skills...yes, even a woman can do it :)
We own a 2000 EX and are having the closing motor problem. The passenger side sliding door closes, but doesn't completely latch and you have push it in the rest of the way. There seems to be several posts on here about that happening on the passenger side. Has anyone had a fix for this? The dealership is telling me that the rollers need to be replaced (for $350) but I don't hear that "closing motor" running. Am I the only one who thinks this answer is fishy?
Wow - I am stunned - we have been living with the driver side slider door not working for over a month, and I finally have a chance to bring the van (2001 Odyssey) to the dealer - they made me an appointment for tomorrow. I told them the deal - door stopped opening after ice storm. They said it would take about 1 1/2hours to diagnose the problem and then we could go from there.
My husband suggested to look online just in case - within 30 seconds we had the fuse 13 suggestion. Two minutes later our slider door works.
I'm delighted and aggravated - these comments go back years and years - couldn't the dealer have suggested trying fuse 13? No way... then I wouldn't have come in... Thanks so much!
