Release the lock and remove the headrest from the second row center seat. 2. Pull the strap and remove the seat cushion from the second row center seat by lifting to release the two hooks. 3. Pull the strap and tilt the second row center seat back forward. 4. Push the seat belt buckle from the second row center seat all the down. Position the PlusOne seat console under the armrest of the second row seat, then hook the two anchor plates to the two hooks, and push down to latch the rear of the PlusOne seat console.

For those Honda Odyssey owners tired of replacing rear window motors at approximately %200 to %300 each here is a simple fix. A design flaw creates the failure. A PTC Thermistor was used to limit motor drive current when the motor reached end limits. For you Rnon Engineer types that is a Positive Temperature Coefficient Thermistor, (thermal resistor). This device presents a low cold resistance of approximately 10 to 15 Ohms in series with the motor to limit motor current. As temperature increases resistance increases to over 150 Ohms when hot. The motor assembly was engineered this way to limit current to a stalled motor when the window is fully open or closed. This prevents a motor burn out or fire. The problem is thermistors are notoriously unstable over time with repeated temperature cycling. The failure mode of these devices is to increase resistance, decrease current flow and render the motor inoperable. The fix is actually very simple. One of the nice characteristics of a light bulb is that it too has a PTC. Unlike the thermistor, a light bulb resistance curve is very stable over time with repeated temperature cycling. The trick is to choose a light bulb with sufficient wattage and voltage rating that will pass the required current for normal operation but limit over current to prevent a motor burnout or fire. Here is the procedure I used to modify both of my window actuators on my 2002 Odyssey.

When the power door lock has been using for a long time, the rubber stopper broke off, causes the actuator to make noise when it’s in lock action. You can replace the solenoid actuator for ~$150 or fix it for nothing. Here is how I fixed it. 1. Remove the door panel: a. Door Latch: remove 1 screw. Slide the whole latch unit to the right to unlock and remove c. Pry the panel out carefully using a pry tool all around the panel. Unplug all related switches to remove the panel safely and carefully 2. Locate and remove the solenoid actuator. There are 3 screws secured the solenoid in place. Unscrew them and pull the solenoid out 3. Open the solenoid. Remove 4 screws to open the solenoid. You can see the rubber is broken and moved out of its place I use silicon glue (the one that conies with the tire fixing kit) to glue it back together to make sure it doesn’t fall out of its place again. To put it back into the latch, I need to lift the whole unit out to have enough clearance to slide the rubber stopper in. In order to do this, I had to remove the pin and the white actuator latch.

These procedures should not be attempted by “do-it-yourselfers.” NOTE: • Be careful not to damage the rear bumper or other finished surfaces of the body. • Let the P/S fluid, the ATF, and the surrounding parts cool down before you install the coolers. 1. Make sure you have the anti-theft code for the radio, then write down the audio presets. 2. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery. 3. Remove the rear bumper. • If equipped, remove the two screws (one on each side) that secure the inner fender. • Remove the four self-tapping screws (two on each side) at the fenderwell. • Using a clip remover, pry out and remove the three clips along the bottom of the bumper. • Using a flat-tip screwdriver, pry out and remove the bumper bolt covers, then remove the four bumper bolts. • With the help of an assistant, release the bumper from the fenderwell, and slide the bumper away from the vehicle. • If equipped, unplug the backup sensor connectors. • Set the bumper on a blanket.
