Van Sliding Door Not Shutting. How To Fix A Sliding Van Door That Wont Shut.

[@AdrianLuth]

I own a 2014 Honda Odyssey with a driver side passenger door that wouldn't close within the last inch. I used some 'SuperClean' degreaser on both sensors and where they fit into place. Worked like a charm! Thanks for the super straight-forward video!

[@TryThisDIYFix]

That’s awesome! That’s a great idea! Thanks for sharing!

[@mannybravo237]

Thank you so much! I was stuck w drivers side sliding door open in 108° weather, and that was the problem. So easy to fix, and I had the flat, angled pliers w me too! Not even two minutes work and the door shut smoothly. Mine was the bottom sensor, I could see where they were scraping together. Another vlogger shows all this friggin mechanical stuff to fix the doors, and I was starting to get really worried. Thanks again!!!!!

oh thank you! got a nice used van for xmas, and is one of the main issues. nice to know its not a hugh issue now.

[@TryThisDIYFix]

Yeah I hope it helps!

[@margerywarder1578]

Thank you for giving us hope about not spending $$$ to get the door fixed. Our fix was slightly different -- we did loosen the metal contacts and that helped, but we also had to squirt WD40 into the "latch" components because one seemed to be kind of gunked up so that the latching was sluggish. Thankful we saw this.

[@TryThisDIYFix]

That’s awesome! I’m glad it helped!

[@debmurphy4051]

Thanks so much, this totally did the trick. My son took out the neighbors mailbox when he was learning to drive. When it didn’t close anymore I thought I’d need a new door 💰💰

[@TryThisDIYFix]

Sorry about the mailbox but I’m glad you were able to fix it! Feel free to subscribe for more helpful videos. Thanks.

Fixed mine with this...thanks for a SHORT video

[@TryThisDIYFix]

You got it! Glad it helped!

[@ReitersBlock]

Thank you!! I’ve been trying to trouble shoot our 2015 Odyssey for months - cleaned and greased rails and still would catch just before closing. Loosened the bolts enough that female bracket could move on the frame - set doors to manual - closed the door and then opened slowly and tightened bolts. Turned back on and door now closes!!! Best I can tell is that as the rollers wear out the alignment of these sensors gets off and eventually it’s enough that it won’t work. I suspect if I ever swap out rollers I may need to do this adjustment again. Thanks! 💪🏼

[@TryThisDIYFix]

I’m glad it helped! And yeah I think you are right.

[@CouponingwithJeremy]

Ouch! Glad you were able to get that fixed. Nice work!

[@TryThisDIYFix]

Thanks! Yeah it was a game changer!

[@evanm9026]

Also use some non permanent pain on the sensor. So it marks where it goes and the adjust accordingly

[@TryThisDIYFix]

That’s a great idea! I didn’t think of that. Thank you.

[@pm5187]

Ours will just do it randomly. Maybe about nine or 10 times in a row. I wonder if the sensors just get jostled a little bit.

[@TryThisDIYFix]

Probably do. Maybe try cleaning them as well.

[@judywebley3382]

Try rebooting before anything else--turn off the ignition; wait a bit and turn it back on. (Just like a quick fix sometimes for your computer.) Worked for me.

[@TryThisDIYFix]

Yeah that’s a good call. For me this was going on for a few weeks.

[@TonyHookedonVanlife]

With my 2003 Chrysler Town and Country the 'power' part of the sliding doors just stopped working... manually, it works perfectly fine, but no power option, on vehicle or key fob, just doesn't anymore. No damage to doors, just stopped. The driver's side stopped first, while the passenger side STILL worked - now neither work. If, for some reason, you don't get the door shut tight manually closing it, it WILL try to 'power lock' for a few seconds, before always failing & stopping. HELP!!!

[@TryThisDIYFix]

Hmmmm. You might need to check k the motor or the tracks for the door. Those could be gone and need to be replaced.

[@gildalewis5550]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@joseo1672]

Hi my pacifica sliding power door will open then close plz help

[@TryThisDIYFix]

So it doesn’t stop?

[@joseo1672]

It will open all the way then right o way it closes

[@TryThisDIYFix]

@@joseo1672 so that sounds like something in the track. I’d search for van door track on KZbin.

[@ysindia]

Thanks a TON!!!!!

[@TryThisDIYFix]

You got it! Glad it helped!

[@KarenSmith-pn5ed]

Glad you could fix it!

[@TryThisDIYFix]

I know! Same here!

[@Astro-J85]

Does this also apply if the sliding door stops and reverses halfway? Urgently need to know smh

[@TryThisDIYFix]

Hmm. I don’t think so. There could be something in the track. Or the track is off alignment

[@marybethspivey2635]

Glad it worked out for you!

[@TryThisDIYFix]

Thank you! Same here!

[@adnanlimited]
