Never in my life have I successfully removed a harness pin without destroying the harness connector, or the pin, or both. After watching this, I made a tool out of a piece of stainless steel from a hose clamp. My son and I then used it to remove 6 pins from the drivers front door harness in my mothers 96 Accord. We were able to then reconnect all 6 pins to their wires, and reinstall them into the connector, and get everything working again. Hats off to you!
I had been struggling with getting these terminals out for about 2 hours. Then I watched your video and was able to remove all the terminals in minutes. thank you so much for creating this video, it really helped.
Omg!!! I've been driving around for 2 years with my locks not working because I thought this would be a hard and confusing repair! Thank you so much!! I think I can do this!! If my locks work and my passenger window rolls up faster I'll be jumping for joy!! Thank you sir for explaining this to woman who never got taught about cars!!! 👍👍😃👏
Did this on a 99 civic lx. Ran into two blue wires with white lines so I guessed and spliced them. Tested everything out and seemed to work just fine. Blue with white line were the amp power supply for the radio is what I was told. After about an hour of driving it I started messing with my power mirrors and figured out that if I try to go up with the mirror it locks the doors haha so if you come across the same thing I did make sure you check the power mirrors. Thanks for the vid
@@pigcreations6357 I’m assuming it’s the two blue wires with white lines are spiced together wrong. Look and see if you have two of the same wires and flip flop them I’m sure that’s what it is. I used liquid tape and a lot of electrical tape to seal it up and didn’t realize I spliced them wrong until 2 days later. Doesn’t bother me so I don’t plan on flipping them
@@pigcreations6357 no problem. My mirrors still work left/right but up/down locks and unlocks the doors lol. If they still don’t work maybe there is a fuse blown or something? Hope it helps
@@ezpzlemonsqzz I swapped the two wires today and everything worked except the mirrors. Plugged the ABS fuse back in and boom, mirrors worked also. lol thanks
This is the best video on youtube about this common Honda problem from this vintage. I've owned my '98 CRV for just over 24 years(and 296K miles) and I've been without the power door locks for at least ten years. It hasn't been the family vehicle for quite awhile as it's just my daily driver these days and I've learned to live with it. Everything else works so it hasn't been a big deal. The only other problem is the driver's window is slow when it's closing but I've always attributed it to a slowly dying motor or simply the track needs to be regreased. Now I'm wondering if the wire has been significantly compromised and the resistance is high. Kudos for a detailed, common-sense method to tackle this problem. I also like the idea of using liquid tape to strengthen the wires near the connector.
Thanks man, great video. Thank you for the explanation on why not to solder, I didn’t know that. I’m 50 years old and you learn something new every day brother!!
my 97 civic started having a wiring issue with the driver side speaker, so I took a look and seen a similar problem, also yes windows are slow, so I think this explains all the issues. I probably also have a similar issue with my 99 crv, since the passenger side window doesn't move at all
Working on an 01 CR-V with the same connector and a broken wire at the pin for the window motor. Someone filled the connector with conductive grease so I couldn’t see anything. This video saved the day, thanks for publishing!
That is factory silicone grease. They probably do that for corrosion resistance. It is neither a conductor, or an insulator. Just like a silicone micro chip. Silicone is semi-conducting.
Love your content man. The past three videos of yours I've seen I can't help but notice you take your time to do things the right way. Seen another video of a dude cutting both connectors off from the main harness and the connector out of the door to solder and heat shrink all the wires together like a goof. I give a great big thumbs up man....OKAY BYE!!!😂😂😂😂
I have a 99 civic with manual windows and power locks do I follow the same process but with less wires since its just the wires for the speaker the lock switch and the door lock
For split non-insulated butt splices, I've read that you should crimp it so the tool bears down on the opposite side of the split. About soldering... it's a problem to solder stranded wire because it wicks down the strands and makes the joint brittle. Especially in a situation like this, soldering isn't the best joint.
Having the same problem with my 2004 CRV. Thank you so much and that was so informative...good call on the Liquid Tape. #genius PS also I love the way you say "goofy". Thanks man!!
How do you get the connectors to click back into the harness? I couldn't get the wire to click like you did, so it would just slide in and out easily and not stay put.
Hey my 98 civic inside the distributor there was rust and corrosion on the terminals for the ignitor and coil causing intermittent misfire. So I cleaned them all up and coated them with very light dielectric grease. Think that’ll help prevent that from happening again?
Probably not. Using grease on electronics is a controversial subject, because it is a semi-conductor, and traps moisture. Best to make sure it is sealed, kept dry, and has a way to drain.
Nice work man, I had to do this to my '93 back in the day... It was sort of a ball buster, you made it look easy. Could you have used that liquid nails junk instead of the liquid electrical tape? I learned something to day about no soldering... Makes sense, thanks for the tip. OKAY BYE!
Great videos, I have a gen 1 crv and I need to raise it a couple inches, I noticed that you have adjustable struts on your civic, if I installed them do you think I could get at least 2 inches higher the stock height

If the wires on both sides of the plug don't match up, and you cannot find a wiring diagram online, you could always try to find a manual at a local library, or possibly even a dealership. Best advice I can give you.
They sell the connector on ebay the full harness brand new but the funny thing is the sellers asking 1000 bucks not even a full civic is worth that lol but thanks to this vid you can do it your self
@@RustBeltAuto Thanks for the reply. I think I didn't make clear my question. what I would like to know is the wire diameter to buy the wire for the door harness connection. Thank you.
If you mean the butt connectors, I remove them from insulated butt connectors, if I can not find any non insulated ones. The pins nobody sells. Honda might sell a really expensive kit. You need to get them out of a door connector from a junkyard. Acura, and Honda's from the same years should be the same. Civic's, Integra, and CR-v for sure.
@@RustBeltAuto Thanks man. In my case, I'm putting in new wiring for door speakers. And there are empty slots I can use in the connectors. But just need the pins to make it happen.
Help ! I am doing this same job i am having a hard time finding the right pins online . My car is a honda so this harness is identical to mine. Do you have the link or information for the type of female pins/connectors used? I’d really appreciate the information. Thank you for the video it really helped me get the pins out.
do you by any chance have the part number for the 25 pin connector? I have the same problem with my prelude but the connector is broken/cracked down the middle and I don't have any junkyards near me. there's someone selling the connectors on eBay but he's selling them for $999.95 and I don't really want to pay that if I don't have to, if you know the part number that would be a great help.
You are going to need to find one off of a civic, integra, or crv of same years. Maybe have a junkyard can mail it to you. People list crazy prices, because they are out of stock, and dont want to loose their listing.
Has anyone in this thread come across the diagram for the floor harness that connects to the door with the affected connector? I cut out my connector and need a diagram that shows the colors of the wires coming from the floor harness to the driver's side door harness and how they match up ..99' LX
Lisle 57750 wire terminal tool kit is a good one. Parts stores may have something. I have always made something that works. Every car terminal is different.
I think I found a link on hondatech, and left it on here for someone. That's where I found it, so I didn't have to go to the dealer, or library to get it.
man oh man ! you saved me sooooo much time and money < i think i have a waay better idea of were to go,! i have an 97 acura EL that the windows and locks dont work and all the fueses are great , i never thought about the harness ! thank you ! is there a link to buy the connectors ?
The size that come out of a used drivers door from a civic, del sol, or Integra of the same years. Might be the same for other cars, dont know for sure. You cannot get them new.
Seems to me that somebody should sell individual wire with the pin connector already attached on one end. Like the wires you pulled out of the salvage pin block. I can buy a whole block with all the wires connected for $40 to $80, but then I have to cut all the wires off and splice all of them to use it. I think I will buy it and just pull a wire or two out of it to use in my old pin block. I looked around and couldn't find any individual wires.
Thanks I got the same problem on a 2000 Honda Civic that I bought. If you open the door all the way the speaker goes out and the door locks and windows Don't work.
People do it all the time. I see people teach how to's about It on RUclips. It is amateur hour. It is not a problem, until it is a problem. If things start to melt, and smoke, it might be time to re-do it. If you're lucky it will be fine. You should see the nightmares I have delt with on custom Harley's. They solder everything. It's a nightmare waiting to happen.
Absolutely wrong about soldering, the oxidation and resistance are not working like that. But still thanks for showing all the other step of repairing it.
I have taken electrical classes from Bosch, and A6, L1 ASE certified. They all teach you that soldering wires is a big no no. Soldered wires are also not coast guard approved in marine applications. It is a good way to start a fire.
@@serranosoundstudios it creates resistance in wires. Can melt away, make heat if not done properly, and start fires. For this reason, it is not U.S. Coast guard approved. All wires should be crimped. There are technical service bulletins on this for countless car applications.
@ ford had me soldering wires in for the contour headlight recall under dash. I see the point about not knowing how to solder well causing problems like resistance otherwise not.
Wrong. Every connection causes resistance. The heat expands everything, and solder goes in-between the two surfaces, causing more resistance, and a higher failure rate in wire connections versus ordinary crimped wire to wire connections, or ultrasonic welding. That is why you never see any solder on any factory wire connections. It is only used on things like circuit boards to attach wire to foil on a board.
@@RustBeltAuto you might want to do some study. resistance is heat no shit but solder in it's self does not create the resistance is is a metal alloy that is highly conductive. and you do not see solder on factory connections becasue serviceability. solder is more of a permenant situation.
@@RustBeltAuto Ok them cirtifications dont really mean shit. ok so you went to school. and your point. have you actually been presented with a situation that would prove you otherwise? Id bet not. How ever I am not going to argue over the internet with anyone as it is pointless. All i am saying is I have used solder plenty of times in many extream aspplications and everything to this day still functions. Have a great one
@@CotyRiddle you know very little, and have very little experience. Ask me to study, and I did more than you. Now you say educating yourself doesn't mean anything. You are a self proclaimed arguement winner. Keep believing you are right. Maybe you will never have a problem, if you never do enough.
Hey I have this issue with both doors on my 01 Acura integra but nothing work, no power locks or windows and my speakers don’t work on both sides. I checked the cables to see they were torn or disconnected but the are fine. Else could it be?
Check fuses, powers going in, and out of the master switch, and there is a module in the door if I remember correctly. Probably best for you to go on honda-tech website.

I have the same problem with my prelude but the connector is broken/cracked down the middle and I don't have any junkyards near me. there's someone selling the connectors on eBay but he's selling them for $999.95 and I don't really want to pay that if I don't have to, if you know the part number that would be a great help.
You are going to need to find one off of a civic, integra, or crv of same years. Maybe have a junkyard can mail it to you. People list crazy prices, because they are out of stock, and dont want to loose their listing.
@@RustBeltAuto oh ok thanks for the info boss. I'll start looking for those cars as well then I appreciate it
Has anyone in this thread come across the diagram for the floor harness that connects to the door with the affected connector? I cut out my connector and need a diagram that shows the colors of the wires coming from the floor harness to the driver's side door harness and how they match up ..99' LX
Probably going to need a factory diagram, or maybe one from Mitchell. Might want to go on honda-tech, and see if someone can help you out.
Same problem my crv rd1..clamp pin and wire pin problem.
Where to buy this wiring harness connector ?
Some dude on eBay sells them in left a link in my comment section
Does anyone know if that gray 25 pin connector is available from Honda?
Nope
I must be the only one that's made the exact tool as you and still can't get the pins out, I've been on this for an hour...
Hmmm. Must be doing something wrong.
Where can you get the special tool?
Lisle 57750 wire terminal tool kit is a good one. Parts stores may have something. I have always made something that works. Every car terminal is different.
@@RustBeltAuto thankyou i found a kit on amazon
Awesome information especially the part of the windows rolling up/ down faster. Can you provide a link to the Honda tech for plug wire connections?

Rust Belt Auto thank you!
Does anyone have the table with the order of colors please
I think I found a link on hondatech, and left it on here for someone. That's where I found it, so I didn't have to go to the dealer, or library to get it.
man oh man ! you saved me sooooo much time and money < i think i have a waay better idea of were to go,! i have an 97 acura EL that the windows and locks dont work and all the fueses are great , i never thought about the harness ! thank you ! is there a link to buy the connectors ?
You are going to have to hunt something down somehow.
Where can I buy that connector ?
Someone on here posted this link.

Rust Belt Auto thank you
What size pin connector???
The size that come out of a used drivers door from a civic, del sol, or Integra of the same years. Might be the same for other cars, dont know for sure. You cannot get them new.
Thank you very much
Seems to me that somebody should sell individual wire with the pin connector already attached on one end. Like the wires you pulled out of the salvage pin block. I can buy a whole block with all the wires connected for $40 to $80, but then I have to cut all the wires off and splice all of them to use it. I think I will buy it and just pull a wire or two out of it to use in my old pin block. I looked around and couldn't find any individual wires.
Thanks I got the same problem on a 2000 Honda Civic that I bought. If you open the door all the way the speaker goes out and the door locks and windows Don't work.
You're welcome. It is super common on these cars. People tend to hack this job real good. Thanks for watching!
Good job!!! thanks!!! for the video!!!
Welcome!
You can just go to junk yard and clip the plug out just make sure not to clip the wires to short clip wires long enought
Any way you can send me the diagram for a couple 99
Sorry. No.
Damnit I used solder. Welp look like I might have to redo someday
People do it all the time. I see people teach how to's about It on RUclips. It is amateur hour. It is not a problem, until it is a problem. If things start to melt, and smoke, it might be time to re-do it. If you're lucky it will be fine. You should see the nightmares I have delt with on custom Harley's. They solder everything. It's a nightmare waiting to happen.
Absolutely wrong about soldering, the oxidation and resistance are not working like that. But still thanks for showing all the other step of repairing it.
I have taken electrical classes from Bosch, and A6, L1 ASE certified. They all teach you that soldering wires is a big no no. Soldered wires are also not coast guard approved in marine applications. It is a good way to start a fire.
Thanks man this is what I was looking for I'm going through this now and it's a pain lol. Good stuff thank you!
Haha epic ending... "okay bey!"
He ends most/all of his vids like that
solder > crimping. any day. they dont solder wires in factory. why would they solder if they have full length of wire.
Shit is rather take the damn door off..
Impossible to pull the pins out
No
Why is soldier bad?
@@serranosoundstudios it creates resistance in wires. Can melt away, make heat if not done properly, and start fires. For this reason, it is not U.S. Coast guard approved. All wires should be crimped. There are technical service bulletins on this for countless car applications.
@ ford had me soldering wires in for the contour headlight recall under dash. I see the point about not knowing how to solder well causing problems like resistance otherwise not.
@serranosoundstudios ya, that was some time ago. Nowdays they would give you crimped connections, and shrink tubing, or waterproof connectors.
you can buy new connector kits on ebay!!!!!
Can I have a link please?

This must be the culprit of my non working power mirror
Did you happen to fix it?
@@daniblackham4381 ya. Chopped off the plug from junkyard. When I took mine off I wires had unpinned. Everything works as it should now
Just get used harness from junkyard way easier that's what I would do
Every one I see has cracked insulation/broken wires. If I could find a shipyard of them, I could make a new living selling them.
Excelent.
that poor integra..
Bull about the solder
@@serranosoundstudios name me one automobile manufacturer that solders wires together.
Solder don't cause resistance. Shitty solder jobs do.
Wrong. Every connection causes resistance. The heat expands everything, and solder goes in-between the two surfaces, causing more resistance, and a higher failure rate in wire connections versus ordinary crimped wire to wire connections, or ultrasonic welding. That is why you never see any solder on any factory wire connections. It is only used on things like circuit boards to attach wire to foil on a board.
@@RustBeltAuto you might want to do some study. resistance is heat no shit but solder in it's self does not create the resistance is is a metal alloy that is highly conductive. and you do not see solder on factory connections becasue serviceability. solder is more of a permenant situation.
@@CotyRiddle I am A6 ASE certified, and Bosch electrical certified. Stop waisting my time with your drivel.
@@RustBeltAuto Ok them cirtifications dont really mean shit. ok so you went to school. and your point. have you actually been presented with a situation that would prove you otherwise? Id bet not. How ever I am not going to argue over the internet with anyone as it is pointless. All i am saying is I have used solder plenty of times in many extream aspplications and everything to this day still functions. Have a great one
@@CotyRiddle you know very little, and have very little experience. Ask me to study, and I did more than you. Now you say educating yourself doesn't mean anything. You are a self proclaimed arguement winner. Keep believing you are right. Maybe you will never have a problem, if you never do enough.
Hey I have this issue with both doors on my 01 Acura integra but nothing work, no power locks or windows and my speakers don’t work on both sides. I checked the cables to see they were torn or disconnected but the are fine. Else could it be?
Check fuses, powers going in, and out of the master switch, and there is a module in the door if I remember correctly. Probably best for you to go on honda-tech website.
