2005 honda odyssey automatic sliding door will not stay closed

SOURCE: My 2000 Honda Odyssey minivan's

I had a 2002 Odyssey with the same problem. I cleaned around the micro switch at the bottom rear of the door and checked the door roller bracket screws. The screws were loose so I tightened them and also sprayed the switch with electrical contact cleaner (special stuff that leaves no residue). Apparently this helped the contacts in the switch to close properly and the door was able to reset and work. Good luck.

Please check the aft track roller assembly. It is easiest to inspect from the rear of the van looking forward when the door is open. You'll see the rear hinge assembly clearly. The track rollers cannot be seen but you can pull outboard on the rear edge of the door--the door should not move outboard more than 1/8 of an inch. If it moves out more than this or feels sloppy, suspect damaged/missing track rollers. This will cause the hinge to chatter in the track and "jolt". It will also cause the door to misalign during the close phase preventing the close motor from properly engaging.
Replacing this part is no easy task but doable if you are good with cars. Check back here for more details if you want to try it, otherwise get a competent mechanic or the Honda dealership to do it.

SOURCE: 2005 Honda Odyssey EX power sliding door latching issue

I had the exact same issue with my 2005 Odyssey EX. Sliding door closes completely then "relaxes" after a few second and the door open indicator light goes on. You cannot lock the van in that situation. The Honday dealership told me today that the issue is with the sliding door latch mechanism. Aprox. $550 job.
