Come along in this video as I remove the right rear quarter trim and replace a power sliding door motor on this '05 Honda Odyssey.

Thanks!
Great Video, like the extra steps to do a good job! I have a 2009 may need to do the same at some point?
Lol it's amazing when the customer's trash comes in handy…
Thanks!!
Great video with details steps . Thanks 👍👍👍
Don't know how I missed this one… a true epic odyssey! Now I own a used Odyssey… good to know this is doable for DIY. Thanks Eric.
Thanks for this video. I have one of those in the shop now for a customer. I am going to turn down this job after seeing all the time and headache involved. I hate interior work anyways. Always plastic pieces breaking or cracking.
looks good eric o
Luckily, I just needed to change the roller only. But now after opening and closing the door 2x, the Power door lights get triggered and it stops working. I pull out the fuse and reset it but it keeps happening again. 😣
This is quite the undertaking for a diyer 😰
Sooo much plastic! A few more years and it will be so brittle it will crack. And, it's guesswork where the clips are. Having to disassemble 1/4 of the car is insanity.
Hi Sir, My honda 2018 Odyssey sliding door doesn't work (can't even manually open / electric doesn't work as well on the left side only). I went to Honda dealer shop and they charge me 2 hours for diagnosis fee, and then they call me they will need more hours again to diagnose (hourly rate = 125$CAD). I'm just wondering is this normal to take this ?
Awesome job partner.
Genius! Very impressive, your patience is inspirational….your use of zip ties instead of tape is such a time and aggravation saver!
I usually do learn something when I watch your videos.
Thank you for such a well done production. I need to replace the door control module. I saw it on the video, will do it in the morning. Just needed to find out where the plastic pins are and how to get to them. Tried a short cut today, but wasn't able to get the panel with the vertical flip cover door off. Doesn't look like I'd have had enough room to make that work.
Man if my motor ever goes you better believe that door will become a manual shut one!
You really get some PITA jobs, and I'LL never buy a honda van!
Great job
You do nice work.
It look 😊
Thanka a lot for that one. You are the best !
I think I could do it after watching this video!!! You made it look so easy with your step by step process!! Thanks
Enjoyed the video. I have a 2013 and I think the cable tensioner is different, but I can research that if and when the time comes (hope it never does) haha.
Hey, how did you (or "The Algorithm"?) know that I literally just bought a 2010 Ody with this exact same situation?? Thanks to your usual super-duper, complete, and family-friendly manner of presentation, I no longer fear the prospect of taking on this otherwise daunting repair – and as you say "If he can do it, I can do it"!!
Awesome you make it look so easy what a talented mechanic, wish I lived closer I'd just bring my vehicals to your shop, your joking comments make watching your videos fun on top of educational. Thanks and keep up the good work
Great video, what part of New York you located I'm in central New York.
Eric, how do you keep track of all the screws and hardware to know what goes where for re-assembly? Is this all by memory, or do you take notes?
While working inside a truck or van I kept my tools in the top of an old plastic cake carrier.
is a good idea,to mention what parts are round the part that you are replacing,beacous,I was looking for the location of the sliding door control unit and you mentioned. Thanks you man,your video help me.
Can you please tell about the cable replacement for right side. I snapped on mine 08.
Freaking amazing this vid. I have a newer generation (2015) and this procedure is almost identical for the newer generation. Vid was very helpful. Thank you.
Good job very informative thank you
Hi, Eric. That is an interesting video. I really appreciate the patience you show and the lack of frustration I would have. Thanks for sharing! Stay Healthy!
Your ability to keep cool and not rip it is amazing!!
Mainly I learned what I already knew: I don't want power sliding doors, it's just something else to go wrong. I can close the damned door myself.
Great
job
Really appreciate you making this video you did a great job in my opinion
que numero de parte tiene
This was a great video. I had a 2003 honda odyssey with 202000 miles with the same problem. I also cut the cables. I had 4 kids with no way other than having them climb over the front seats or go through the back tailgate. I wish that someone would have made a video that was as good as this one. I am now a subscriber.
👏👏👏👏Driver's side about the same but you have the spare tire on that side instead of the rear A/C
OUTSTANDING!
We love those "little camel toes"! LOL!
Great video!
Are you kidding me man! I loved your video. Now I know exactly what I have to do. Thank you very much!!!
He cut the cables … !?!?
MwaHaHaHa'aaaa …
Hi Eric, I ran into 2 issues, just wonder if you have any answers for me. Great video by the way; made the job really easy for me! The first issue I had was the 2 cables were about 3 inches short to fit into the old hinge roller. I did have the 2 white clips on the motor in the up position. Is there a way to extend them a little more? The 2nd issue I had was; I bought a new hinge roller for the door, I removed the bracket from the door with the old roller, removed the clip, but no matter how I tried to removed the pin from the part, I couldn't; I suspect that the sleeve on the pin is logged and rusted onto the pin, any suggestions? I may have to buy a new bracket to attach to the door. Thanks and I await your responses
New fill door switch and back running, couldn't have done it without Eric and a set of plastic pry tools. Thanks Much!
ERIC you are a very patient man.keep up the good work. I realy like your videos.THANK YOU very much. GERRY G. from canada.
