Need to know how to disable the power doors on my 2013 Honda Odyssey, and make them manual doors

Asked by Greg Feb 15, 2019 at 02:25 PM about the 2013 Honda Odyssey EX-L FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I realize this involves removing fuses, and the cables that attach the door to the
motor. But I want to do that, and make these manual doors.
Please help!

If you disconnect the doors from the motor then the alarm wont set and the computer will keep searching for the doors and run you battery down causing the alarm to go off at all hours of the night and eventually damaging your battery and alternator. That's what happened to me. 5,000 dollars in damage. Honda told me there was no way to disconnect them.

Odyssey 2006 Touring Edition (205k miles). I disconnected our doors a year ago. They slide very easy when you disconnect the steel cable to the door motor. Just remove the cables from the door and turn the automatic door switch to off. One of my cables snapped back inside the wall where the motor is; the other is hanging in the door jam but does not seem to be a problem. I don't remember doing anything else. We had considered doing this for a while and then a friend of ours threw the door open so hard it snapped the connection to the steel cable. Rather than fixing it I just 'broke' the other side.
