I have done a lot of reading here and elsewhere over the last couple days to find the problem I am having with my Odyssey and I havn't been able to find this specific problem.
My drivers side power sliding door stopped working on my 2005 Odyssey the other night while we loading into it. It opened halfway and it appeared to have jammed in a half open (or half closed if your a pessimist) state. I tried pushing the close button from the drivers seat, the motor engaged, but the door didn't move, so I tried it again...and again the third or fourth time the motor stopped reacting to the switch at the drivers seat, the handle swithches and the key switch, and that is the current state. The door is stuck open and I can't close it or open it manually. (I can't open or close the drivers side door manually either, and there is no problem at this point with that door).
What I have tried to far is the reset procedure that seams to be so popular for when the car goes through a feezing cold night of shutting off the power to the doors via the main switch at the drivers seat, removing the the fuse for 30 seconds, and then reversing the process and voila...didn't work.
I looked through my owners manual and then reomoved and checked every fuse that was labeled for the power door closers, and openers, all fuses appeared to be intact.
My suspision is that a frayed cable has seized the action of the door and the motor. What doesn't make sense is that all the fuses are intact (as far as I know). I would think that a fuse would blow to protect the motor...Can anybody help? I have read enough threads to know that I don't want to take this to a dealer if I don't have to.
