2006 Honda Odyssey. The driver side door will open manually but not with the dash control or key fob. When I press either it starts to open (maybe an inch or so) and then it sounds like it is catching, and closes back up. I have noticed that it is more difficult to manually open the colder it is outside. Absolutely no problems with the passenger side door. I have tried the suggestions posted about re-homing it by removing and replacing the #7 fuse and have had no luck.

Since it is only the driver side, this leads me to believe the fuel door switch is malfunctioning. I have seen this a few times on late model odyssey's.

I would get it into a dealership or shop and have it properly diagnosed. It shouldn't be too hard to find the fault.
