If you own a Honda Odyssey 2006 model and have been experiencing issues with your doors getting stuck or not closing properly, this guide is for you. Here’s a step-by-step process to troubleshoot and fix the problem.
First, check for any movements in the door to identify the issue. If you notice a significant movement when pulling the back of the door, the repair we are about to perform is likely to fix the problem.
Step 1: Remove the Taillight and Access the Fasteners
Start by opening the door to access the screw located at the back of the taillight. Use a long screwdriver to remove the screw and lift the fasteners to access the taillight.
Remove the taillight by pulling it straight back and then take off the bulbs to access the assembly which needs to be repaired.
Step 2: Remove the Fasteners
Support the door and remove the two 12 millimeter fasteners while being cautious about the finish to avoid any damage.
Step 3: Repair the Door Assembly
Check the wheel for any damage and consider replacing it if necessary. Use needlenose pliers to remove and replace the cables and wheels. Use lubrication as needed to facilitate the repair process.
Step 4: Reassemble the Door
Ensure proper alignment and reattach the door assembly. Check the functionality before reassembling the taillight and trim pieces.
Remember to be cautious about the finish while working and consider replacing components on both sides if needed.
