Service code B3 shows on dashboard, what does this mean?
Honda has different service package reminders programmed in the computer. Contact your local dealer or your owners manual. B3 will be an oil change and probably some other fluid checks or changes.

When car is in drive or reverse, I get a constant warning tone as if the side doors were open. Side doors are not open.
This warning sign signals that there is a problem with the latches on the sliding doors. Clean them lubricate them, and if the problem does not go away, replace them.

where is the fuse for a 2005 honda odyssey rear wiper
First, please review this article: Where's The Fuse?
Then to answer the question you asked:
There are actually 3 fuses involved in your rear wiper system.
They are all located in the driver's fuse/relay box located under the left side of the dash.
Fuse #7, 7.5 Amp
Fuse #21, 7.5 Amp
Fuse #30, 20 Amp
These same three fuses, if blown, will also have the symptom of the front wipers not working. So if the front wipers are working, the problem has nothing to do with a blown fuse.
There are also several control units involved in making the rear wipers work:
There is the Combination Switch Control unit, the MICU Rear Junction Box Control Unit, and the Relay Control Module. These are also powered (protected) by the fuses listed above.
I would recommend Obtaining a scanner and scanning the Controller Area Network (CAN) in your vehicle to see if there are any fault codes that can help you determine why your rear wipers are not working.

2005 odyssey tail light bulb replacement,how to do it after you remove the 2 screws? I have the same issue, removing the two screws isn't enough, there's something else holding the assembly in the van but I don't see any other screws. I haven't gotten to the part about unplugging the wires yet, they're not exposed yet. Thanks anyone that can help!
Yup after removing the 2 screws, there is a round plastic tap.
you need to pop the light housing back and outward with a flat screwdriver. wrapped electrical tape on the flat end to avoid scratching the paint.

My 2005 Odessay Touring van has a VSA light that has gone on about ten times today. Each time I have to turn off the ignition and turn it back on in order to make it go official. However only once did the check engine light turn off as well. When VSA warning light is on I loose about 80% power. Is there a sensor that is broke or what?
Thanks for the info... that fixed the problem with the VSA light going on. The error code had nothing to do with the VSA system. Error code said I was low on oil. The dealer I brought it to said the VSA system will not work when you are low on oil. When the VSA warning light comes on, you loose 80% of your engine power because of it. They changed the oil and I have not had the VSA warning light go on since.

How do I replace a hatch strut on a 2005 Honda Odyssey? Specifically, how do I get the old one off so I can put the new one on? Then how do I put the new one on?
Thanks.
Don't pay the dealer to doit, this takes about five minutes and is very basic.
First prop the hatch up, the closer to full open the better.
Second, locate the spring retaining clip at each end of the strut.
Third, with a small point, flat blade screw driver, carefully pry the spring retaining clip loose from the strut end. It actually kinda slides in a groove until it's free of the strut end. Repeat for the other end of the strut.
Forth remove the strut from the vehicle.
Now you can install the replacement strut. Installation is reverse of removal; you should start with the retaining clips pulled back from the strut ends. attach one end, secure the retaining clip, then adjust the length of the strut and the height of the door until you can attatch the other end. I found that securing the bottom end of the strut to the body first made it easier to attach the top, instead of the other way around.
Also, a good place to look for parts is www.hondapartsdirect.com; best prices on new dealer, OEM parts as I have found anywhere.

my 2005 honda odyssey anti theft activated when my battery went dead"
now ny lights blink and my horn constantly beeps on and off. I cant even put it in drive...how do I reset it?
Not trying to steal your solution, but trying to clean up the unanswered page:
There are two possible answers here:
The simple one: Use your remote control's "unlock" button to reset the anti-theft system.
or a more comlex one that seems to work:
(From the original post)"I found out that you remove the horn fuse, shut the doors, put the key in and unlock it two times then put the fuse back in...it resets the anti theft..."

OBD !! Scanner code, engine a little rough on idle and acceleration
ok , you scanned or Autozoned it, if latter?, fail you do.
did they write it down wrong?
the code must be told accurately, (im sure you know that)
this code needs honda only meanings, P1
Electronic Throttle Control System Control Relay Off Malfunction
blown 7.5a fuse #15?
baring a simple fuse.
read the FSM./
the FSM covers this code, what to do and to find which part is
bad , not guessing, the ECU cant tell you what part is bad or dirty.
it only tells you what tests failed.
read the FSM or take the car to any ASE certified Mechanic.
this car is Throttle by wire. technology. (a pain , the TSB proves it.)
ever heard of a TSB? all good mech read them first
here is one example, on topic. too.
quote: (look up you car, and YOUR TSBs, read them all)

MIL Comes On With DTC P1659 TSB 05-008
SYMPTOM
In cold temperatures, the MIL comes on with DTC P1659 (electronic throttle control system control relay OFF malfunction). PROBABLE CAUSE Moisture inside the throttle control relay may freeze. This would cause the relay to fail, storing DIG P1659 along with any of these DTCs: P0135: Rear Air Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor (Bank 1, Sensor 1) Circuit Malfunction, P0141: Rear Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Secondary HO2S, Bank 1, Sensor 2) Heater Circuit Malfunction, P0155: Front Air Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor (Bank 2, Sensor 1) Heater Circuit Malfunction, P0161: Front Secondary Heated Oxygen Sensor (Secondary H025, Bank 2, Sensor 2) Heater Circuit Malfunction, P0498: Evaporative Emission (EVAP) Canister Vent Shut Valve Control Circuit Low Voltage. CORRECTIVE ACTION Replace the electronic throttle control relay, the air/fuel sensor relay, and the starter cut relay.
