Look no further, this is the most detailed video of the entire process. Paid $16 on Amazon instead of $73 at dealer and saved $385 labor. Thanks again!
This is the most detailed video of the entire process to replace the actuator. Well done video, thank you!
Thank you soooo much for this thorough video! We successfully switched our actuator!
This helped me fix replace my actuator on a Honda Oddyssey '19. Thanks for the effort!
Thanks. Just replaced mine. Note to everyone, the plastic push fasteners can be re-used. The part was $25
Thats great! Yea i reused em as well
As said in another comment, I did not have to take the wheel off or to remove the wheel well. I taped a small rigid electrical cable to the release cable on the new part and fished it through the hole in the trunk and I put the grommet in place. My old actuator was still working but I had several issues in cold freezing weather where the gas door would not open so I decided to change it. The part was 67$ CAD at my local Honda dealer and the job took me about 10 min to complete.
I'm having the same issue. It didn't want to open today at the pump. I. Assuming because the actuator went bad? Though I don't hear any noise. I'm curios if I should attempt to replace it or check the fuse first and check of the actuator is getting power? Or my 2018 Actuator probably needs to be replaced?
Ended up breaking that plastic peice on the door trying to open the gas door to fill gas. As I was on empty.
Probably froze, but curios if a new actuator will help to avoid that issue in the future?
@@mayeri3083 My actuator was still making noise before I replaced it. We get extremely cold temperatures where I live and since I changed the actuator, the gas door has been working flawlessly. I would order the new part and try replacing it by myself if I was you. My car is a Civic Coupe 2016 with only 64 000km.
Do I have to buy an original for $32, or can I buy an Amazon for $16?
@@mayeri3083 I bought the OEM part which was 67$ in Canada.
@@jog9808 I see a Honda dealership has avlb to be shipped for $32. Debate is whether to be cheap on $16 savings. Or everything is all the same junk. And buy the cheapest I find. Also it's Amazon so I'll get it within a day or two.
There's an easier way to do this, and it can be done without taking the wheel off or removing the wheel well. Once you've freed the actuator from the clips, remove the cable from the mount on the side, then tie dental floss to that end and tie the other end of the floss to the looped end of the new cable. Drag the old cable out through the trunk and bring the new one in through the same opening. Just have needle nose pliers on hand to fit the grommet in place within the trunk. Doing it this way only took me about 15 minutes start to finish.
How did you unclip the actuator?
@@mayeri3083 Thin bladed item that could lift up one of the clips as I pulled the actuator forward.
It's going to take me 4 hours just to understand how to get the door off. I'm not mechanically inclined but I'm not paying 400$ for this dumb unnecessary repair.
Make a video 😢
Can you make a video I'm in need of assistance 😂 I can't do this taking off tires etc.
Great video of this fix!
great video. thank you for sharing
helloooooo ur little friend is here🥰🥰
I watch your videos from my workplace
Hey buddy...thank you..i appreciate u always supporting me🙂
Great video! Do you happen to have video on replacing the fuel door?
Thank you for this
Thank You!!!
Thanks for help
Thank You
Great video, my 2018 just started this noise yesterday and now I’ll make an attempt
thank you🙂 hopefully ur able to get it done...good luck👍
52fendertelecasster is right. However you can make it even simpler. After you have pulled the actuator out, remove the pull cable from the old actuator and move it to the new one. Manual unlock is now done. Don't go into the trunk at all. Then swap the electric fitting and you are done. The only new piece will be the actuator unit itself. About 5 minutes if you have done it before..
😫😫 I need a vid.
Hello,
What honda website did you get this from?
Thank you🙏🏽
Mine seems to be frozen shut. I'm assuming the actuator of bad. Vs checking the fuse and to see that it's getting power? As it's in theblocked position and I had to manually force the door open. Didn't know there was a pulley in the truck. As they say you live and learn.
Hello, thanks for the video!
Question - Would this be the same part and process for the 2017 civic?
Unfortunately for the civic itd be a different part..but process would be pretty similar
@@backyardchevy328 Thank you!!
How many pins does it have in the Actuator connector.. 2?
To eliminate the sound I removed the electrical connector that was attached to the actuator. I was able to access the connector without removing the tyres.
Only replace the actuator if you want the fuel tank cap to have auto lock during the car locked condition.
Thank you so much 😊 for your video much appreciated. Im going to do fix my wife’s car now. 😊
Thats great! Hopefully all goes smoothly🙂
@@backyardchevy328 again thank you you Sir I fixed it with your help of course. Keep it up 👍
@@Mrtambay. thats awesome! Great job🙂👍
Mine sounds like a fart . And it’s embarrassing 😂 the guys at the gas station were cracking up !
I just replaced the actuator for a new one was fine for a few months and now the noise is back those actuators are garbage Honda needs to do something about this do some kinda recall don’t want to spend another 45 dollars on a new actuator. And yes I did but an oem Honda actuator.
Wow it went out that fast..yea, if not at least warranty the piece for a longer period of time
Thanks,mine doesn’t buzz it just won’t open
Cold weather? Probably frozen.
Honda quoted me freakin labor $190 + part $170 for this procedure. smh
I can do this!
Yea u definitely can!.. save u plenty of money
Lol, that's why they're called the stealership.
The fact that my 2020 accord with 12k miles needs to be replaced is sad.
Not common. Check if there's a recall.
@@mayeri3083 there isnt, service advisor says they get them very frequently
@@nathanielhanna3181 so odd. Then just replace it with a $16 one from amazon. Vs spending 30-40 for a oem
@@mayeri3083 was under warranty, dealer did it
Don't buy a new actuator use a locking gas cap
You still want to have the door close. Also it's capless so how do I change that?
There’s no reason to lift the car
So how can I fix it 😫😫 I need a vid.
pointless technology lmao gas door does not need this
Lol yea..guess they needed some sort of locking mechanism
Its a capless fueled car. So need some cover that stays locked.
