Hey guys my battery died today while my right sliding door was open. Now I can’t get it to shut. It feels locked in place and won’t budge manually. Please help me!

Do you have the door switch off to put it in manual mode?

I had a similar situation, and the below worked for my 2014 Odyssey:

1) set the power sliding door main switch to 'off'
2) disconnected the battery (only the negative terminal)
3) pumped the break pedal a few times, in case any residual current remaining
4) manually pushed and closed the sliding doors - I grabbed onto both the inner and the outer handles at the same time to pull & close both sliding doors. With decent momentum, both doors closed and latched.
5) re-connected the battery terminal
6) set the power sliding door main switch to 'on'
