What if you cannot open the sliding door to begin with? Where do I start in that case?

The first thing I thought you'd do when you removed to airbox was to cover open throttle body, to prevent anything from falling into it. I would also recommend that you brush and blow off, or vacuum off, the valve cover prior to removing any of the spark plug coils, again, to prevent any debris from falling into the spark plug wells. And, as you commented, a good time to also clean the throttle body, and the MAF sensor.

Can I use this for a 2010 odyssey?

Thank you so much. This was very helpful. I was away from my van and family member got a flat in it. Your video explained to them how to reach the tire and jack.

Anyone making a machine that beats the dirt out like this. I hate the pos kinder gentler agitator washers now.

Best video ever

Is it also the same for a P1174 code? My 2012 Honda Odyssey EX has this code when I run OBD but there is no Engine Light. Could you please suggest if your solution works for P1174 as well?

thx

You are the man! Incredibly thankful for this video. I replaced the passenger side, and like a commenter below I discovered that on the passenger side the cables are wound around the spool in the opposite direction (the front cable winds around the back of the spool). Enormous headaches on the passenger side due to a massive air-handling unit that blocks the rear cable exit. I couldn't figure out how to remove it completely. I was able to loosen the unit enough to work around it and only lost one bolt to the void in the process.

Thank you!

Would this be the same by change for the 2018?

Thanks for the video. This is my second time replacing this cable. Seems like they last about 5 years or so. The tip about winding the spool when the door is fully open is fantastic.

Is this a 2.5L 4cyl Frontier?

Ours broke twice Honda quality isn't what it used to be. I'm shocked by all the dirt behind that panel.

Excellent video. You are an honest and capable professional

What kind of grease?

Great video. I had to do the passenger side which has the cable wound opposite this side. Procedure: Put door in MOSTLY closed position and FRONT cable winds on the back of the spool. Also, make sure to check slack on the outside of your van before testing. Front end of my cable somehow got underneath the track, which shaved off the cable coating. Lucky me, I got to do this twice. Grateful it only cost me $28 each time.

I replaced broken cables on the passenger side on a 2011 Odyssey. Push the button and door opens perfectly now. However when I push the button to close it gets nearly all the way, literally and inch or so from closing then its beeps a few times and opens back up. I can close it all the way manually. Ive checked for obstructions or any clear problems and don't see any. I've tried the reset method of holding both buttons down together and the method of holding them down the whole time while opening and closing the door and nothing seems to work Anybody have ideas what i can do??

On my car, it was necessary to have the odometer visible on the dash as opposed to a trip setting for this fixed to work thanks buddy

I hate how cars make them inaccessible. Cant clean em eith any physical medium on any modern car. Can only shoot stuff up the drain tube with some prayers. Dumb.

This was a very helpful video. With this video I was able to replace the cable system in 2.5 hours. My car repair guy told me to not bother because you'd have to replace the whole motor etc, and just cut the wires and use it as a manual door. I decided to not take his advise. If I did it again I could do it under 2 easily. I bought the pre assembled and cut kid off amazon for $20 CAD. I wouldn't bother with the ones you have to crimp yourself. One thing to note that might make this easier is to not reattach your door to the slider assembly until almost the last step. this made spooling the bobbin easier.

WTF is a hot water heater?

Thank you! 🙏 I feel confident doing this repair now

I installed everything as shown. Then with the door in the open position from installation I hit the close door button and the wire all jammed up and tangled in the spool. I did have the wires spun tight during install they were not loose. What did I do wrong? Should I have closed the door manually then set the buttons like shown?

Thanks alot this saved me from The shop charging hundreds. My pilot had the crack and i almost got stuck on i95 in the bronx somehow made it home but this video was. God send thanks

Thank you for e great video. So I got the cable replaced. The door will open automatically. When trying to close, the door is close to being fully shut, but then stops and reopens. Any ideas? Thanks.

Nice video. Only caveat is to know what is under that battery and maybe protect your driveway. I had a AAA tech do this to the battery terminals on one of my cars - he used a pump sprayer. Replaced the battery and the car started fine. Next day the car wouldn't start. Turns out the starter was directly underneath the battery and it had gotten caked with the baking soda mixture. That destroyed the starter and also left a large stain on my driveway.

Great video, an easy inexpensive fix! Thank for the instructions

Great video for this repair. Made things a lot easier. Thanks

Did mine with this video, he made it simple 👍

Thank you.. you do a awesome job.. you take your time and explain..

You did a great video, very helpful 👍

Curious, how long do you think it’s takes on this job. I got charged 2.5 hours labour.

i have check engine light too. gotta get it read and find out what it is.

Great video. My cable broke on the driver side so I replaced the cables and the bracket with the rollers since the door was starting to be a little jerky before the cable broke. It took me about 3.5 hours, but about 1.5 hours of that was starting and stopping your video! I could not get the pin out no matter how hard I tried, so I took the two bolts off and pounded the pin out on a vice. . Overall, not to bad, I just went at a steady pace. Saved me $1300, and I'm now ready to do the passenger side if that ever breaks. Thanks again for a great how to video!

That fellow coffee thermos speaks of some good coffee

Thank you for the tutorial. I found out that I had to remove a bracket that was in the way. Once I did that it came right out. Thx again

Did your “sliding door” light come one when the cable broke? If so did it go out after disconnecting the battery for 10min

Great guide, thank you

one of the best yt tutorials ive seen, gotta replace my girls alternator on her 2006 4runner and this makes it so much easier

Would this be the same process for the passenger side?

Thank you for this - I was able to replace the driver side door cable system because of this video. I did have a lot of trouble getting the door pin out so I just removed the bracket with no issue. Appreciate you taking the time to put this together. Sincerely, a non-handy person.

honda crap design

This is a godsend, thank you.

I really thanks to you I just change the alternator after your video it’s very easy ❤ thanks

I used a plastic bag over the power steering hose and used the hose clamp to hold it on. Great video I really appreciate it

Thank you very much for this video! Really helped me out and like you said at the end, helped me save a few hundred bucks

Thank you for this very informative video. I ordered using your link. It took 2 days for prime to get 2 sets of cable to my house but I only did the left side driver side slide door. It took me 1 and half hour to tear down and get to the motor with bird nest on the spindle just like the video depicted.

Thanks man! 1.5 hrs and its working.. my cable was jamed in the spool and could not get it out.. had to pull the cable with pilers which may or may not have bent over some of the channels on the spool. Couldn't find a place to get a replacement spool so just ended up using it and seems to be working for now.
