How To Fix Parasitic Drain and Power Sliding Doors On 2005-10 Honda Odyssey

Рет қаралды 90,837

Күн бұрын

If your 2005-10 Honda Odyssey's battery dies overnight and the power sliding doors aren't closing properly, chances are that the latch/closer assembly isn't working properly. In this video, I show you the complete start to finish process of removing the latch, cleaning and re-lubricating it, and then putting everything back together. Of course, you can just install a new latch assembly if you don't mind the extra cost.
Notes:
At 10:25 I say that the top bolt can't fit through the whole, but it does actually fit through the whole. However, removing it makes the latch much easier to maneuver out.
At 20:28 I put the bolts back in the wrong holes. The one with the big washer goes on the bottom, and then I think the one with the slightly larger flange goes on top.
At 29:14 I say something about "it was this door that I fixed." Well, I fixed both doors but only showed you guys the passenger's side. lol
I'm planning on making an update video after this one ticks past a full year or so. Sooner if they stop working properly. Stay tuned!

Trick for getting the contraption in front of the window track when you’re putting everything back together: I used a long dandelion digger (I have one but I don’t dig up those beautiful dandelions). But a long strong screwdriver would have worked too. I put it into that key shaped screw hole and used it to lever the window track over. The contraption slid right in. The key shaped hole that I’m talking about is the uppermost one that is inside that Hans said you really didn’t have to take that screw out because it’ll fit through the wide part of that key shaped screw hole. You can see this key shaped screw hole at 20:38 Hans is putting that upper screw into it. A word of caution, I did not take that upper screw out in the beginning because it fit through the wide end of the key shaped hole. But when I put everything back together that screw bent the lower edge of the key shaped hole because I had too much of a strain on it. So I had to use a hammer to gently bang the edge back to normal. Also, that glued on rubber guard that goes over the two upper screws on the outside back of the door was almost completely off on my door and it was hanging down so I think it was probably interfering with the latch. I left it off. May have been the problem all along, but the mechanisms inside the contraption were gunky and sluggish anyway. Thanks a million, Hans, for an excellent video; I followed it step by step and my door is completely fixed and working again. No unlatching 2 seconds after latching and no door alarm while driving. I am very glad you showed how to put everything back together also! Thank you!

Easy way to lube the inside of those puppies is to remove just one of the three latch mount bolts on the back outside of the door stick your lithium grease straw through the hole and spray inside. Replace that bolt and move onto the next bolt repeating the same step until you've done all three bolt holes. DO NOT REMOVE all three at the same time. One at a time and replace each one individually. This worked perfectly and saved a ton of unnecessary work and. anguish.

As you suggested, I also opted (for now, at least) to remove the 3 screws one at a time and spray WD-40 into the holes in order to try and lubricate and clean whatever mechanisms inside were gunked up. I also cleaned and WD-40 lubricated the latches / moving / closing mechanisms at both the front and back sides of the door. I will try to update my comment in a few months indicating if this is a permanent or temporary fix. (I suppose based on other comments, I may need to go back and use a spray lithium grease instead of just the WD-40.)

@BlakeAutomotive Жыл бұрын

Well done! If you measure the parasitic draw before the repair, it is about 370 mA - 400mA. After the repair it will be around 20 mA. That upper screw in the "key hole" slot is meant to be loosened until it gets hard to turn but left in the latch. Then during removal it does fit through the hole. The reason you had to use the ratchet all of the way out is because of the interference threads that keep the bolt from falling out during shipping/assembly. Also the bolt you reinstalled in the "key hole" slot should go at the bottom. The flat washer on the bolt for the window run channel lower bracket is because the hole is slotted, so the washer adds support when bridging the slot. All in all, a great DIY video.

@bobh6728 Жыл бұрын

A couple of questions. Mine has the 380 mA draw. Does this still happen even though door open indicator does not come on? Does the parasitic draw still happen even though you turn off the switch on the dash so the power doors don’t work? I pulled the fuse and still have the draw. Could it still be the same problem? Basically, how can I be sure this is the problem before I tear the door apart? Thanjs

@craigbessette1054 Жыл бұрын

@@bobh6728 I am in the process of also repairing this problem. The light on the dashboard does not tell me that a door is open. But if you close the door manually you will notice that the door at the back does not get pulled in tightly to the frame of the doorway. You can actually unplug the doors from working automatically at the rear right-hand side of the van, . But you need to pull the plastic side panel off enough so that you can reach the plugs. I think it's called the rear MICA. This is the area where the heater blower is located. While I agree with absolutely everything in the video I will add that there is at least one electronic component that if bad will also keep your door from working properly. If you look in the video you will see one or two of them and they are green in color. I think they are called an actuator switch? I purchased new ones from an online electronics company and they were only about $7 each. Might as well replace them if you're going to do all that work anyway. My 2 cents.

You are right about having to use oil or lithium grease. I did this to my doors a few years ago, but only used WD40 silicone spray and the problem came back. Now I have to do it again, so your video is super helpful. By the way, those hooks up top do come off, but they slide up and then pop out…I know because I broke mine and bought new ones.

That got me to thinking,… wonder of i switched to off,… if the drain would go away, just for testing purposes….. “ It did stop the drain “ on my problem. If I switched it back on and cycle the doors… open and closed again the drain came back and would not go away. This simple test verified that the door latch switched is my problem. I can leave the doors in manual mode till i have time to do exactly what you did in the awesome video.

Some notes: Do not remove the upper trim on a cold day; the trim plastic will be more brittle and can break when pulling out the plastic trim pegs. My door handle did not have the metal circlip attached. I spent some time groping around for it before determining it was absent, and could just pull out the handle. The inner door handle has three cables attached to it. If any one of these hangs up, the door will have problems closing. Since you have the panel off, you should squirt some lubricant into the front latch assembly. It was sort of tricky to do this, but I could bend the squirt straw through a hole in the sheetmetal and guide it in with my other hand reaching into the door. This helped free up the inner door handle cables. I bought a used rear latch assembly for $100 off ebay. The little hinges and whatnot moved ok on the old one, after cleaning and oiling, but the plastic around the latch was shredded to bits. Also, one step I had to do once I got the new one in was jump the closer motor to pull the door shut for the first time after reassembly. I don't know if the computer thought it was open, or what. No amount of prescribed resetting hacks (pulling fuses, disconnecting battery, etc) worked. I clamped alligator clips to the pins inside the socket he's detaching at 7:45 and ran the motor off a little 12 V charger.

I opted (for now, at least) to remove the 3 screws one at a time and spray WD-40 into the holes in order to try and lubricate and clean whatever mechanisms inside were gunked up, as recommended by on of the commenters in this thread. I also cleaned and lubricated the latches / moving / closing mechanisms at both the front and back sides of the door. I will try to update my comment in a few months regardless if this is a permanent or temporary fix. I only need my Odyssey to last another year or two at the most, and we no longer chauffeur our kids or other people around in the car too often, so I am hoping this can stay fixed for the near term. If not, I'll be back to this video for more guidance on how to remove the door panel and get this thing cleaned and lubricated properly.

Hello. I unscrewed the screws and squirted some spray white lithium grease in through the front and back holes. Because I am in no position to crawl in the back of my van and attempt what Hans Pool has done I tried your method. I’m in a wheelchair. So far so good. It’s closing and opening every time and I can’t detect any drain on the battery, parasitic draw or alarm going off. I still don’t trust it so I’m disconnecting the battery every night until I test it more. But if this works, I’ve just saved myself over $2000.

Thank you for the amazing video. When I got my piece out of the door, I could not exactly tell what was wrong, if anything. I took the screw out that holds the little blue switch in place and tested the switch with a continuity tester - all was good (I was afraid this was the problem and I'd never be able to get just that switch). I also took the screw out of the switch so that I could push the switch aside or cover it while I sprayed some brake cleaner around that immediate area. I did this because I had white lithium grease on the door latch mechanism but regular amber grease everywhere else (window regulator). I felt it was better to leave the window section with its amber grease as is. The grease looked like it was doing it's job, but I really wanted to get all of the lithium grease off everything around the door latch area. With all of the lithium grease removed I could see everything working better. And by better I mean the slightest bit added to put enough pressure on the switch contact. The difference is very small to the eye but as you all know - that is what is needed, and you can verify this with a continuity tester. I then added some PB Blaster around the same area where the lithium grease was and cleaned off any that was running freely. Then I used your advice to use the 3 in 1 oil, but I wasn't exactly sure where the 3-in-1 was to be applied. I felt that the circular piece that rotates as the latch is activated and deactivated would be best served by some thicker oil there and I put a drop on the front side and back side. Hopefully that does the trick. Anyone else about to try to this job, I do think some brake cleaner gets the old crud out very well, just project the switch.

I discovered precisely the same thing when I took it apart for the first time. The mechanism seems to be moving ok at first glance, but upon further examination, you can see that the switches aren’t being activated fully. It’s the little things that count😉. Good point about using brake clean: while it works wonders removing grease, you’ve got to be careful around the delicate electronics.

THANKS . MY 2005 rear sliding door wont open when the key is inserted into the ignition switch. I get a sliding door warning light but After I remove the key from the ignition switch, then remove and reinsert the 7.5A fuse; the rear door works great. IT system acts like a short somewhere when the key is inserted into the ignition switch. I will try cleaning the door latch like you suggested.

I have the same exact problem and it’s very annoying while I’m driving and the map lights are coming on and off depending on when I turn right or left.🤦🏽‍♂️ I’m sure the price to have a professional fix this will run me a couple hundred, so thanks for the upload and information. I will attempt this myself and save myself some money. 💪🏽

@@hanspoole As an update, i tried the DIY method and failed. The passenger side sliding door still reads as if it’s open. My lights still come on. However, the light switch for the map light located on the dash behind the right side of the steering wheel, has an on and off and also an option to never have any lights come on when a door is open. I keep it that way now.

All the symptoms look to be the same with mine as well (2006). Dead battery in the morning, doors that dont seem to fully latch. Hoping this repair will solve my problems. Thanks for the very detailed video. I'll try to repair it sometime this next week and give a simple update on how it went.

@GarrettCrosgrove Жыл бұрын

Update: I did this repair to both of my sliding doors and It totally fixed the problem of my battery being dead every 12-20 hours. I measured the current draw before the repair and it was 400mA and after the repair it dropped to about 30mA. It took me about 2-3 hours for the first door and just over an hour for the second door. Thanks for the detailed video!!!

@@jackjunk5495 Yeah pulling the 7.5amp fuse labeled "7 - BackUp" will also drop the battery amps from 400mA down to like 20mA. A quick fix for a battery draining until you can do the repair. I drove around for a week or so pulling the fuse everytime I parked it. Until I got around to fixing it using this video as a guide. That number 7 backup fuse also services the navigation system, door lights, power locks, dash lights when van is not running. and a few other things.

Thank the Lord above, you just saved me and my mother 1200 dollars plus on repairs for BOTH rear latches which were starting to go out, and the passenger side latch was even more locked up than the driver's side. I cannot thank you enough, and if you have a Ko-Fi, please give the link to it, because we would be happy to give you a donation as a thank-you.

This was one of the best how-to videos I've seen. Very thorough, but didn't waste time with chattiness. Question: Is there a latch in the front of the door as well as the back? I am almost done putting mine back together, but....I noticed that the mechanism that seems to latch on the front...isn't free flowing and snapping back up like the other side. So, I wonder if that could also be an issue with the parasitic draw. Thanks again.

I’m looking into replacing the switch for the mechanism but I’m confused. Are there two switches in there and is one NO and the other NC? (Normally opened/closed)

I have a 2004 Odyssey with the same parasitic drain on battery. The #7 fuse on driver side is labelled "IG coil", 7.5w. I found the power slide fuse in panel under the hood. It's shows 30amp. If I pulled this fuse could it stop the battery drain? Or can I flip the switch inside so auto slide is OFF? Thank you for the detailed video.

@SageKillah 7 ай бұрын

Took my '05 Odyssey into the shop today thinking I had an alternator issue. They called me back a couple hours later and said that my battery and my alternator are good and that they picked up on a parasitic draw, likely for the back doors, so they removed Fuse 7 from the driver's side fuse box and the parasitic draw went away. I know exactly which door it is too thankfully. It's the passenger side back door. We had opened it one day to get stuff out and then went to put the van in gear and it gave that buzzer sound as if the door was open. Opened and closed it a few different times to resolve the issue and it worked. However, the last time we had folks in the back of the van and it made the buzzer sound when we put it in gear, we just turned the power doors off so we wouldn't hear the buzzer. Now we know that we have to make sure the door gets all the way in so it doesn't drain everything instead of just turning off the power doors and calling it a day. One downside about running around without that Fuse 7 is that now the interior auto lights don't come on when the door is open, I can't use the FOB to lock/unlock the vehicle, and the power locks don't function without the vehicle being turned on. The guy at the shop said that he wouldn't be able to fix the issue and that I would have to take it to a Honda dealership. I'm not skilled with vehicle repairs or anything, I'm more of an electronics (computers/phones/etc) guy, nor do I have the space to work on it myself, so I'll either see if I can find someone to replace that latch or see if getting the latch cleaned out will help prevent the parasitic draw.

@hanspoole 7 ай бұрын

Yup, that sounds exactly like what I experienced before cleaning up the latches. We got pretty use to shutting off the door switch every time we put the van in gear🤣. I'm surprised you're able to get the door to close fully by just giving it a few tries. My guess is that it's just barely gunked up enough for it to not work sometimes, but not so much that it never works. Good luck getting it fixed!

I was excited about finding this video so I took everything apart on my 07 and it looks like someone recently lubed everything and all the little mechanisms seem to be working fine. Any ideas on what to do from here? My van has all the symptoms you described at the beginning of the video

@mr.tuckers2848 11 ай бұрын

I just took apart my left side and I found gunk, leaves and other stuff around the latch mechanism. The main latch doesn’t seem smooth when actuating so I will make sure that will move after I clean it with contact cleaner and the grease it. The problem I have now is that metal window bracket piece fell down into the door. I have to get a magnetic tool to fish that one out next. But definitely the latch mechanism that makes contact with the switch has a gap between the switch lever and is not making contact.
