I searched the forum and most of the issues dealt with the either door not closing properly. On my 2000 Odyssey, the driver's side door will move 1/8 of an inch and then won't open further. If I manually open it and try to close it, it does not budge at all. Passenger sliding door is ok. I checked the interior fuse and it was ok. I'll check the hood fuses, but I was thinking that the hood fuses are for BOTH doors, so if they're bad neither door should operate? The Sliding Door idiot light on the dashboard stays lit.

Bad sensor. Dealer can fix for around $220. Gotta luv it.

I tried resetting the door logic by taking out the right-interior #13 fuse suggested in another thread to no avail.

I still have 2 hands and working brain. Why can't I just bought the dang sensor and replace it myself?

ps. do I need to be a rocket scientist?, dang!

Find dude. Take the door off and all assorted hardware, take out sensor, go to dealership and purchase sensor, put it back together and you are done!

Is the door locking itself because the fuel fill switch is bad ant the door thinks the fuel door is open?

The thread above said to open the door all the way, and then remove the #13 passenger side fuse. That did NOT work for me.

However, I tried the trick with the door all the way CLOSED, and this time it DID work for me.

Happy to hear you got it working and didn't listen to YankeeRedNeck's advice.

Once I got the idea from you guys it was the sensor, and reading about the fuse #13 trick in the other thread, the elec. engr./comp. sci. in me said "Pulling out the fuse resets the software to a known relative state", so the relative state must be either the all-the-way-open or all-the-way closed. One boundary condition worked for me, but not the other.

I like your logic!

I had a similar problem with the 4-wheel drive servo motor in my '93 Explorer. It would not go back all the way to disengaged position, when you try to engage 4-wheel drive the next time, it won't, cause the CPU thinks it's still engaged. Hammering the casing "iunstuck" it so it would go into 4-wheel drive again.

THANKS SO MUCH! Our drivers door got stuck. About to call the dealer, read the posts and ...closing the door all the way and pulling #13 fixed it. Thanks !

I had the similar problem. 2010 Honda odyssey driver side sliding door will not open. The passenger side working fine. When I push the door open from dashboard or from key less entry pad, it only gave me 3 peeps. nothing happened. I tried reset fuse #13, disconnect battery. nothing help. Anyone have any other suggestions?
