Reply To: Help needed troubleshooting manual sliding door issue on 2004 Honda Odyssey

Just spit balling here.
That broken part appears to be an alignment pin Used to align the door to the B pillar when closing.
That needs to be replaced.
If you look closely, the lower striker pin that seats into the B pillar is what mechanically latches the door.
Suggest you try cleaning and lubricating the striker and catch inside the B pillar.
Also, I believe that bulk connector on the door needs to make clean contact with its mate on the B pillar.
Make sure contacts on both halves are clean and repair the protective boot.
