Power sliding door cable replacement. 2011 - 2017 Honda Odyssey

* 31:02 ** In the video I have the cable location on spool wrong in my instruction. **
** Back cable goes on the back of the spool, front cable to front of spool **
Replacement of the power sliding door cable on a 2011 to 2017 Honda Odyssey. As you can tell though out the video I really have no idea what I'm doing. Enjoy!

[@wagslick]

Thanks for the video. Couldn't have fixed without it. I just got finished and here are a few tips: 1. You're probably thinking about buying that crimping tool from amazon. Don't. It's worthless. Just use some strong vice grips. 2. Careful how much you jack up the door. Also, don't touch the jack after the pin is out. It's a real pain to get the pin back in if the jack changed its height. 3. A T-40 screwdriver would have been great. All I had was a T-30, but it still worked. 4. That little C-clip that holds the pin in is a pain. Get a pick. 5. Pay close attention to the part about wrapping the cable. Back cable goes in back of spool. Front cable goes in front of spool. 6. When first wrapping the spool, the cable should seat down in the grooves flush with the spool. You may need a flat head screwdriver to seat the cables when first starting to wrap the spool. 7. Once the spool is wrapped, there should be no slack in cable. 8. Just as in the video, throw in a few screws to hold the assembly together when testing it. I put in all screws and bolts and ended up taking them all out again. 9. Block off the whole afternoon. Took me 6 hours (But I struggled with a few parts).

[@mattanfang]

So the crimps did not need to be perfectly square and you used a normal vise grips? Thanks for your additional suggestions!

***READ COMMENTS BEFORE ATTEMPTING!*** Awesome video, thanks for the work. If you're trying this yourself, please note that the video shows incorrect routing for the cables. Some good comments below. Cable coming from the back attaches at the back of the spool and the cable coming from the front attaches at the front of the spool. The cables do not cross over each other. They should route straight up from the guides onto the spool. This job would have taken me 2 hours rather than 5 if I had read the comments first.

[@seangriffith]

Just passing on the thanks like everyone else! Worked on my 2016 Ex. Splendido's advice about putting the door all the way back and swin7k's advice for using electric tape to hold things in place made things go smoothly. About 3 hours following step by step. Thanks again BackYard Tech for taking the time to make this video!

[@philsdronelyshots]

Thanks, my son and I had a good time fixing the door thanks to your video, and he didn't learn any swear words.

[@davidarcher3846]

Fixed my 2012 yesterday... used same parts... it was the second time for the passenger side door on this van and couldn’t bring myself to spend the money taking it to the dealer again. Took me 6 hours ... next time could do it in half the time. Your video was helpful- thank you!!!

[@johnsplendido3556]

Thank you. I just fixed my sliding door while watching your video step-by-step. Worked perfectly. The only change was I connected the rear cable to the rear of the spool and the cable that goes towards the front to the front of the spool. I also did not place the door in the center. I had the door open all the way this way I had to wind up the rear cable a lot and the front cable only a little. It made it a little easier to keep the cables under control while trying to get the spool back in the motor. Thanks again for an excellent video.

[@YOUCanFixAnythingAuto]

YES! I wasted a tone of time rewatching and redoing it until I finally checked the comments! 😡 Opening the door all the way made it so easy! Goes to show, not all KZbin advice is good advice!

[@johnsteele8073]

Driver side?

@@johnsteele8073 - Yes, driver’s side.

[@supernintendochalmer]

Thanks a ton for posting this. I just did my 2016 tonight and the door is now working. Without this video I probably would not have attempted it myself. It took me and my bro about 2 hours or so to get it done. Saved at least $1000 bucks! And for anyone looking to do this, it's not too bad, just be patient and follow this video, all the steps are there. Note (as many others have) that what he says about winding the cable is wrong, for the driver side door fix the cable on the left (opener) goes on the back of the spool, and the right (closing) cable goes on the front. The cables should NOT cross after coming through the white tensioners, they stay on the same side. I think its also mentioning that the cheap cable Honda uses is pathetic, and shame on them for putting their customers through this, my van is 3 1/2 years old and it snapped! Should be covered under warranty, i guess its too easy to collect the $1000 bucks for when people bring their vehicles in for repair. Big thanks to people like "BackYard Tech" who post videos to help us out and save some money. Good luck to all who attempt!!

[@tharakairugalbandara4057]

Passenger side reel is opposite-rear cable is on the front side of the reel and front cable is on the inside/backside of reel. Did mine today

[@danielthoms7021]

Thanks for the great video! I ordered the kit on Friday, Saturday I took the panels off. The cable came in today, Monday. It took about 2 hours total. I wound the wires the way they appeared to be, but when I tested them they were backwards, so I rewound them. It looks wrong but the cables go up on the same side as the direction of the cable. ( The front cable goes up on the left side of the wheel, and the rear cable goes up the right side of the wheel.) Once I flipped them it wouldn't close all the way, so I reset the motor, by pulling the fuse then holding the close button on the dash. But, it still didn't want to close correctly, I opened the cover again, took the wheel out, made sure the wires were in the correct locations, then put it back together and it worked perfectly! Thanks again!

[@alexalex3163]

How should I ask for the complete set and Where is best place to order it please.

[@vivatchristos]

Same deal with me.

[@nsgibson]

Do you mean that the front cable winds clockwise and the rear cable winds counterclockwise?

[@DamienLepage]

Thank you so much. Without your video I couldn't have dreamt about replacing my broken cable. Mine was on the other side and a there was a fan exhaust in the way. I also couldn't get the roller the same way you did, had to remove the bolts. I used masking tape to mark the spot and didn't have any issue putting it back. The ferrule crimper tool that I bought was garbage, I had to use pliers to tighten these ferrules enough. Otherwise I followed all your instructions and it took me about 6 hours to get my door fixed. Thank you again so much!

[@mdapple4418]

Well, you certainly helped me fix my door. I wouldn't have tried this without your video as a guide. The parts I bought also provided videos (by email, not posted). There was an important contradiction between the two videos. At 31:00 you incorrectly state what cables goes on each side of the pulley. Although you are working the drivers side door, you gave instructions for the passenger side door. If one follows your instructions for the drivers side door, the cable will cross and the open/close functions will switch and produce erroneous data for the position sensors. You must have figured this out because at 34:10 it is very clear that the cables do not cross and you corrected this error in your installation. Also, I found it easier to hand wind the cable with the door nearly fully open. That way I only had to keep one cable tight on the pulley and not two. Otherwise, I had no issues. You did a great job of pointing out where the troubles are. I think I saved over $1500. Thanks.

[@joesmith6904]

Thanks BackYard Tech for the video! - I just wanted to make a note for anyone completing this repair on the passenger's side of the van. On the passenger's side this video shows the correct spooling of the cables. Do not reverse them as recommended for the driver's side. I did that and had to redo it. The cables should not cross each other but go from the plastic pulley directly up into the spool with the rear cable on the front of the spool and the front cable on the rear of the spool. - Two other quick notes. You can't access the rear cable guide to pull it out and make installation easier because the A/C unit is in the way. Don't worry, it's pretty easy to fish the bare end of the cable through, push and twist and it'll find it's way all the way to the motor. Also, the right (rear) 10mm bolt that holds the motor cover on is hard to access because of the A/C unit as well but a long or at least standard 10mm open ended wrench will get it off/on 1/4 turn at a time. - I will say that after you do this once you could probably knock it out in an hour if you had to do it again. Like any repair, once you've done it the second time is much easier! Happy motoring.

[@darrylslater6226]

Great video. Perfect amount of detail to let me do it myself. Canada be quotes 1300+tax. Cable kit from Amazon was 40, and crimper was 25. Same as other commenters, rear cable goes in back of spool, opposite of video. The crimper I bought wasn't strong enough to crimp the ferrule that came with my kit. I wound the cable around the spool with the door fully open, it made it easy only having to keep 1 sides cable tight against the spool. Setting home position of the door was also easy following a comment. Connect battery with door closed, and then hold closed for 25 seconds. Thanks Backyard, saved me some serious coin.

[@camilomuzard3498]

Hi, what did you use to crimp the ends if the tool didn't work?

[@darrylslater6226]

@@camilomuzard3498 I used the crimper to form the round ferrule into a roughly square shape even though it down crimp down hard enough. Then I used vice grips to squeeze all sides of the square ferrule down even further. The vice grips misformed the square a little bit, but the slot in the pulley wheel is big enough they still fit

[@camilomuzard3498]

Ok great, thanks

[@darrylslater6226]

@@camilomuzard3498no worries. Good luck. My first repair I used a larger ferrule overtop of the not-quite-fully-crimped ferrule thinking the larger diiameter would allow the crimper to tighten everything enough. I put it all back together with the double ferrule crimp and it failed the same way 4 months later. Using the vice grips to get after it has worked for 6 months now, going strong. Good luck.

[@ottergt]

Just did my passenger side, many thanks!!! Winding the spool is definitely a 2 person job. I had to replace the cables on the passenger side of our 2014 Touring...The rear cable sheath is bolted to the body behind the rear A/C system. After trying unsuccessfully to thread the new cable through from the outside (without removing the sheath), I took a long section of the broken cable and cut the end at an angle (using bolt cutters)...this allowed me to feed it through from the outside pretty easily (the angled end got around the pulley without catching on the internal ribbing). I then put the end of the new cable against the end of the old cable and used a long piece of packing tape to wrap around them, joining them together. Gently pulling the old cable through while my wife pushed the new cable from the outside allowed us to feed the new cable through the sheath without removing the A/C system to unbolt the sheath.

[@celery060262]

Thanks so much for this video. I did the fix on my '11 today, passenger side. Without your video I would never have attempted this, so you totally saved me $1,000 or more. One note, on my application, the front cable starts on the outboard side of the drive pulley and the rear cable starts on the inboard side of the drive pulley. It would definitely not work the other way.

[@m4gician]

Okay I finally did this and pulled it off! The key that I didn't do before was lube everything up and ensure the white plastic pieces on the motor were compressed properly. Thank you SO MUCH for a well laid out and detailed video. The ferrules are smaller than the original ones.

[@kevinhipwell2134]

This was such a huge help. Wouldn’t have tried it without the video. I took a commenter’s tip and used zip ties to keep the tensioners in the compressed position which saved a lot of effort. Once everything was in place, I snipped the zip ties and pulled them out. Thanks for saving me big bucks.

[@jeremy300m]

This is a life saver! In the last four months the driver and passenger door cables have snapped. Although this looks time consuming I would rather do this than pay the dealership $1200 per door. thanks for the detailed work.

Thanks again! Finished both doors today and they work perfectly. Fyi i bought the cables from www.carcableguy.com 49.99 per side

Glad I found this video (again), my drivers side cable failed again. I got about three years out of the one I installed. This time, I'm going to take extra time to clean and lubricate the mechanism. I have not yet taken it apart but one of the cables has broken. Wish me luck!

[@swim7k]

Excellent video! Thank you for posting - you saved me lots of money. My repair went exactly as you demonstrated. I used electrical tape to hold in the cable sheathing and tensioners. It made the winding of the cable much easier.

[@crownedroyal2003]

Kit works great! I can be a PITA to wind up.

[@82Rooster]

Thanks for the video. 2011 van. Had some helpful tips that made the jobs easier for sure. My only complaint is that you say the front cable should start on the back side of the spool but that is incorrect. Rear cable connects to the back of the spool and front cable connects to the front of the spool.

[@BLi-dt4wd]

You knew everything you were doing, sir! Invaluable work to save me $1k repairing cost.Thank you very much! Just one thing I want to mention. The Ferrule crimping tool bought from Amazon was too weak to crimp the ferrule. I don't know whether the ferrule material was stronger in my case. Anyway, I ended up using a $3 crimper for electricians. It worked.

[@kevinhipwell2134]

Same thing happened to me with the ferrules. Looks like I had the same tool as the video but maybe different ferrule material? Even on the toughest setting, the tool couldn’t compress or crimp the ferrule enough. The tool came with a box of ferrules of various sizes and I was able to use those, as they were a much more workable metal.

[@BLi-dt4wd]

Kevin Hipwell, I recommend using a swagger tool instead. The ferrule installed by the $3 crimper fell off after 1 month. I had to order a new kit and went through the whole process again... learned in a hard way ...

[@kevinhipwell2134]

B. Li turns out the ferrules that came with my crimping kit are also too weak. They lasted a few days and now I’m starting over again too. I’ll look into the swagger tool, thanks for the heads up.

[@seandriscoll3762]

Like everyone else commenting Id like to thank you for making this video. It gave me the extra confidence I needed to dig into that interior. I was shocked to see how simple it was to take apart. The broken cable on our door was on the other side so there was some large item in the way but I was still able to use this video to get through everything. Your video was also far far far better than the other one on youtube dealing with these cables.

[@zyviec]

I think that large item was your AC unit. It was is my case anyway!

[@bkh1324]

Thank you for the video and your time. I just did the driver and passenger side. I found that after spooling the cables it was easier to put the pulley back on with the nut and then work the tensioners (white things) back in. It took less than five mins to install the cables back into the motor. Side note on the driver side the front cable goes on the front of the pulley and on the Passenger side the back cable goes on the front of the pulley. Also the cable lenghts are super important. I had to cut about 2 inches off the new rear cables to have correct tension.

[@moishe5532]

Great video. One step wouldn't work, so I listened and watched and it seemed that it didn't make sense. So I did it according to what I thought and after it worked I happened to see the comments that the mechanic wrote and he wrote that he made a mistake. :-). I guess if I read that earlier I'd have saved a lot of time. Oh well. It did save me lots of money in any case. THANKS!!!

[@jasonmitchell8201]

It may have just been luck, but I had someone keep a little tension on the door while I wound it nearly open (driver side) and that allowed me to keep tension on it as I wound it and not have to hold it for long while winding the other side a little. It worked on the second try for me. Thanks for the video. I would not have tried this and saved the $1K the dealership wanted without it!

Thank you for the video. Just got finished with mine. The only thing I did different was when it came time to install the cable tensioners I cut a piece of rubber tubing to fit onto shaft to hold it in the compressed state. I wound the cable on the drum and after tensioners were installed I took needle nose pliers and took out the tubing to get the cable tensioned. I hope this makes sense. That way you don’t have to try to compress those springs with greasy fingers.

[@johnsteele8073]

Remember kids: the motors are are a mirror image so whether the front cable attaches to the front of the cable reel or the backside depends on which side of the car you're working on. The bigger shiny surface with the y shape is the front of the reel. And on the driver side the front cable attaches to the front side of the real and on the passenger side the front cable attaches to the backside of the reel. So many people make the ignorant comment their way is the correct way not understanding that is different depending on which door you are repairing. I did the passenger door and I had it slid all the way back so when I wound the cable I started at the front and wound back.... It sounds like it might be difficult to get the shorter cable on the backside of the reel but it wasn't. I got it on the first try couldn't believe it.. the little white guides have springs use them when winding the last bit to hold tension

[@josephdamore8441]

This fix was accurate for a 2015 Honda Odyssey. Did it a week ago and results are good thus far. WARNING: The video creator states the wires connect Back Wire to Front of Wheel; Front Wire to Back of Wheel. This is INCORRECT. Back wire goes to the back of the motor wheel, and the front wire goes to the front of the motor wheel. ADVICE: I found keeping the door CLOSED while trying to wind the wires around the wheel was much easier than the halfway technique. You will first wind most of the wheel with front wire, and only a rotation and a half on the back wire. Got it in one try this way. Otherwise, great video!

[@seandriscoll3762]

So you’re only partially wrong about which cable goes where on the spool. I first did the passenger side door which has the front cable winding up starting on the back of the spool. The drivers side door has the back cable winding up starting on the back side of the spool. So theyre swapped depending on which door your working on. I just finished both doors.

@29:38 “Give her a squeeze...” followed by a 💨 🤣 Great tutorial, thank you!

[@TheTruthSeeker756]

Wow that is impressive work! There is no way I could do that. Making a noise now so I think it’s the motor. Have to find a shop that will offer best price. But boy that looks like an expensive repair!

[@tharakairugalbandara4057]

Passenger side reel is opposite-rear cable is on the front side of the reel and front cable is on the inside/backside of reel. Did mine today

[@pablomarquez4431]

Very good video. Good job! I'm not sure if I need cables tho since mine are not broken. I have a weird situation where sometimes both side seem like its jammed. It will make a growling sound then it pops open. 1 side of the rollers seem like it has play but the other seems good. Im going to try and change both rollers and re-home the doors. Hopefully that works.

thanks, great video that saves me $1000.

[@inderseehat]

thank you for the video. Do you remember, how long the wire needs to be? I am not sure if I have to cut it.

[@melaniehenry5425]

Thank you for an excellent video. You have the patience of a saint! I have a 2004 odyssey and wondering if I were to remove the cable completely will I be able to use/open the sliding door manually?

[@docnemo33]

Saved me $970 from Honda Dealership. They would not just replace the cables, said they had to replace motor unit. The motor was still good! My son wanted to know if you were Canadian?

Great work thanks for sharing

[@ceruleanfish6703]

Just starting your video. I was quoted 1200$ parts n labor to fix this issue on my 2005 Oddy. My local OEM shop is a bunch of thieves I caught marking up parts double cost on me though, YMMV. I'm obviously wayyy out of warranties so I go to a 3rd party guy now and use OEM parts when recommended by him. Still, "magically" [rubbing my chin] my services for repair have gone down 15-25%. Imagine that...

[@tylerplayscallofduty4879]

I have ordered cables twice from different people andthey are the same length, but it specifically says for a 2015 Honda Odyssey. Any guidance would be awesome. Thank you

[@friborg11]

What is the part called that's referred to as "guides" at 28:00? They are white pulleys that have springs attached and the cables get threaded through them right before the cables wrap around the spool. One of mine is broken and I'm not confident that I can glue it back together.

[@Avason1]

Great Video! I hope that I never have to do this repair.

[@tj4ndirish]

Backyard..........this was a loooonnnnngggg video!!! But well worth the watch. My wife's van has both sides broke. This should be a recall item. You took the time and showed step by step. All the other videos assume you know how to do specific things, like pulling the panel. I'm not nearly as afraid of doing this as I was. I will probably watch this a few more times to make sure I've got it nearly memorized. Only thing............could have posted the part numbers ;) Thanks for a great video! Would the steps be the same for the other side? Same parts?

[@crownedroyal2003]

The replacement cables are the same right and left. I bought the replacement cables from e-bay, and don't even know if there is a part #. I would like to point out a error I made in the video that other tubers caught. When routing the cable on the spool, I said which cable goes from and back/front of the spool incorrectly. Don't think I can edit a published video.

[@tj4ndirish]

@@crownedroyal2003 I got my driver's side done. Passenger side........well for whatever reason the cables were tight and hard to get back in, when I did, it broke a couple of plastic pieces on the motor housing!!! So, I'm just going to leave it manual. Thanks for the video! I saw your footnote about the winding of the cable.

[@WAShooter]

Great Video!! Very much appreciated.

[@mattanfang]

I feel like I had slack in the cables and did the front to the front (visible) and back to the back (hidden) side of the pulley. I tested it manually and it worked but then when we tried with the motor it had too much slack and sliced off some the of the pulley ribs as it ate up the new cable. Do you wind the cables the same direction (cw or ccw?) and should there be little to no slack? Hopefully I can get another attempt and my pully isn't FUBAR'd....

[@devin3575]

I have been trying to thread the cable like you did at 20:51 with no success for like 3 hours, how frustrating. How do you remove the pin from the roller so easily at 22:47? Doesn’t it have a fastener securing it on the opposite end?

[@jefffu1926]

Hi Thanks for great video. I have a question. Does the cable come with the exactly right size? Do I need to cut it for 2015 odyssey? when I put the cable into the ferrules, can I fold the end of cable a bit so that it can have tight grip. I don't know whether the size of cable is ok to allow me to do so. how to make the vehicle learn the position of door at the end? you mentioned dash open button , what's that button? thanks

[@alexalex3163]

Thank you soooo much for the video. I have a 2015 odyssey. How and where should I order the proper set for driver side sliding door please ?
