I have a 2006 Odyssey touring and when I close the passenger sliding door there is a constant beeping as if the door is not closed properly. I checked and the door closes properly and the only way to stop the beeping is to turn off the power to the sliding doors from the dashboard. Has anyone had this happen before and if so how do I fix it. There are no codes coming up or anything and its driving me crazy

thanx for any help

If that door sees even a little resistance that bugger is going to beep like mad... so yes, everything in the track, even crunchy rollers.. or at worse your cables are messed up inside. If you also "reset" those doors, I can't remember.. something like on and off power, then unlock.. it'll beep at you, hit the unlock again, then lock.

Try to help the door slide closed and see if it'll still beep.. if it doesn't, then it's too much resistance. If you're on a big big incline it's enough for the door not to be happy too.

Do some searching. Had the same problem with 2010. Door mech by rear of sliding door gets gunked up. You could try spraying that mechanism down really well. I took mine all apart and cleaned and lubed it. Look for other posts. Common problem

I have a 2009 Honda Odyssey. Have the same problem. Sometimes when I kick the crap out of the door it will latch and stop beeping but here lately that doesn't even seem to work no matter how much aggression I take out on the van LOL so did you please tell me where the switch on the dash you were referring to is? 0

Interesting that codes are not coming up. Mine was that way as well, beeping, no codes.
Sometimes beeping goes away for a few days, it may come back even when door has not been used at all.
For me, now, there is power draw causing the battery to die.

USUAL issue is the rear power latch "position switch" may have gone bad, OR power latch gears may have been seized/gunked up causing the switches to not trigger. USUAL remedy is to take the latch out, open it up, clean it and lube it, test/swap out the switches (2) and put it back, cross your fingers and hope for the best.

See this thread. There were many helpful comments:

Folks, getting rid of a symptom doesn't solve the problem. Problems in these rear latches can cause your battery to drain when the key is off. Not all the time but it's very common and you'll come out one morning to a dead battery. Disconnecting beepers, cutting cables, unplugging motors, etc. don't prevent the battery drain (if it's occuring) and you've wasted time and sometimes damaged parts that had nothing wrong with them.

Disconnecting the beeper bypasses a safety feature of an unlatched door, that could theoretically come open while driving. If you don't have kids riding back there it's probably not a huge issue but something that should be considered.

Dash does not show that the door is open. So it is false alarm. Or it is a borderline condition where minuscule misalignment causes a lot of pain. BUT the real problem is with the whole concept of beeping / buzzing which drives me insane. I have the same issue with electric tea kettle. Each button press produced "satisfying" beep. Not anymore, since I applied my trusty solder iron to that bloody piezo speaker. Off to the garbage if went. Same thing is happening to the door beeper soon.

I am not advocating unsafe practices, but since this beep is ignored anyways....you know my drift.
