2000 Honda Odyssey sliding door won't latch?

Answer 1

Posts elsewhere indicated that this worked on both 2000 and 2001 Honda Odyssey vans.

Suggestion #1

1.) Disable the power door switch on the left dashboard.

2.) Remove the power door fuses located under the front passenger leg area.

3.) Manually open and close both sliding doors.

4.) Restore the power door fuses located under the front passenger leg area.

5.) Enable the power door switch on the left dashboard.

6.) Try opening the sliding doors.

Suggestion #2

Remove fuse #13 (clock) for 30 seconds or more from the passenger side fusebox. This will reset the door and the clock.

From Purchasepete - Suggestion #2 - has worked for me, on 2 different 2001 Odysseys !

Suggestion #2 Works fine (and is so SIMPLE!) for 2000 Odysseys too.

The no.1 solution works for my Odyssey 2000, except for me the number of the fuse was 12 instead of 13... Maybe because i have the Canadian version of the van... Thanks a lot!

Addendum from Michael Bates:

Using suggestion #2 above and another post, I reset the doors on our 2001 Odyssey EX. Our symptoms were that the sliding door warning light was on, and the right power sliding door would not operate at all -- no movement, no motor sounds, nothing. We had to turn off the power sliding door main switch and operate the doors manually. Here is the procedure I followed:

1. Power Sliding Door main switch OFF and ignition OFF. Doors are shut.

2. Remove fuse #13 from the passenger side fuse panel. Leave out for at least 30 seconds.

3. Reinstall fuse #13.

4. Open both sliding doors manually to the full open position.

5. Ignition switch to ON.

6. Power Sliding Door main switch ON.

7. Press and hold left door CLOSE switch until the door is fully closed.

8. Repeat for the right door.

At this point the doors operated correctly, from handle, panel switches, and remote switches.
