Fixing Broken Automatic Door Lock Actuator for $5 on Honda Fit or Honda Jazz.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 авг 2024
- A few automatic door lock actuators on my 2010 honda fit stopped working (this is for the front and passenger doors, for the rear hatch see my other videos). Honda quoted my $500 each to fix them. To replace it myself would still cost almost $200 in parts. So I took apart the door and actuator and found it was only a $5 motor that is easy to replace.
This video walks you through step by step how to fix your door lock actuators for only $5.
The motor is a FC-280PC-22125 with 10mm D or flat type shaft. You can get it on Amazon a.co/4qo7zpO.

May 2023: Sir, while on a Stateside visit this month, I had to do this repair on my daughter's 2010 Honda Fit. Thanks to you, I was spared a $900 parts & labor charge. I can't tell you how grateful I am to you for taking the trouble to figure out this lock actuator motor R&R, filming the repair, and then sharing your knowledge with the world. Heeding your warnings - particularly the mistakes you made - I played and replayed parts of your vid to get it right, exactly right; I felt like a watch maker or jeweler. At the conclusion of this project the (1) door opened and closed and (2) the lock actuator worked. Incredible. Total cost: $9 for the lock actuator motor including shipping. Greetings from a very satisfied and grateful viewer in Beirut, Lebanon.
You are a boss! Everyone else is just swapping parts, but YOU took that little bastard apart and found a cheap solution and showed all of us how it works! That is exceptional, and I thank you bud - great work!
This!
i rebuilt the driver door actuator on my 09 fit without removing the plastic tab holding the metal pushrod bc i did NOT want to destroy the plastic which would have left me without a part basically. kinda pushed it out of the way while attached to that rod, was able to get the cover off to access the motor. tested before i put back in the door with a screw driver in the locking mech, pulled the push lines and it worked as should. so far no more clicking!!! thanks mrleanandfresh for the guidance.
Thank you for taking the time to post this. Your effort will no doubt save hundreds of people the expense of Honda's faulty design which is common to many models. I wish I had come across this earlier, after spending $975.00 Australian to purchase all four locks . I was quoted $1420.00 through my local Honda dealer, parts only.
Thank you for posting this tutorial. I had to replace three actuators and you saved me from a $1500 auto repair shop quote!
Thank you for posting this video. I followed your instructions and was able to replace the motor in the actuator on my 2010 Honda Fit. Honda also quoted me $500 to replace the actuator and the actuator replacements that I found online were around $140. I purchased only the motor for $10 on Amazon, so you helped me save a ton of money. I'm sorry that you got the lock stuck shut, but I'm thankful that you explained very clearly how NOT to do that in this video. Thanks again!
Thanks so much for this video! You saved me roughly $600 that the shops around me wanted to fix this.
this is great, you are the only one that documented how to instead of replace. thanks
I agree with James above. The actuator isn’t that expensive especially if you go aftermarket. Honda charges a fortune for the labor. Buy the whole actuator and install it yourself for $55 and don’t risk your doors being stuck closed. Sawing into your car door to get it open is not fun and not a worthwhile risk. Just did my back door on an 08 accord with OEM parts in an hour for under $55. Pretty easy process and still saved $300 for an hour of easy labor.
can't find James
I was going to say something similar. This is GREAT information, and I don't discount that at all, but the parts cost has dropped significantly-- I recently purchased the driver's side front door lock actuator from Amazon for $48. I live in Alaska, or I'd have gone to a local auto parts shop, but they were $81 here on island.
It also gave me an excuse to replace the door speakers on both front doors with Alpines from Crutchfield for another $119-- you know-, since I was in there anyway!
Brother, you saved my life! No kidding! Thank you so much for making this detailed video! From Canada.
Interesting to see how this all works. I’m surprised Honda and Acura have not re-designed this mechanism. There should be a recall. What is causing this to fail? Many thanks for the video keep them coming.
I wish I would have seen this video sooner!! I got a new one for $100 but it "broke" about a month after having it. I wish I would have kept the original one! Guess it's too late to try it this way?
Thanks for this. I might open the actuator for my CRV and see if just replacing the motor will fix it. I already bought one but Ill have another on hand.
Unable to open passenger door on CRV 2010. Fantastic video. Thank you so much. This is my first and will be my last Honda.
Thank you so much for this! The crv seems to have a very similar actuator design so I was able to reference this when fixing the Actuator in this!
Check out other vids for simple information on exchanging out honda crv actuators. One thing for sure, you won't need to remove any window glass.
Great video, helped heaps TY
I have a Honda CR-V with a similar issue. Thanks for the info.
great video and not an easy fix. If watched carefully - all the tips help a lot. Thanx!
Out-friken-standing...thank you!
The Honda dealership just quoted me over $1000 to fix the door lock on my 2013 Honda Fit!
Thanks mate, this video is super helpful!
Thank you so much.
Your video will save me a lot of trouble!
when doing this, always have at least a window open.... ask me how I know
This made me laugh, thanks.
How similar would the replacement parts be for an 8th Gen Civic? Rear driver door won't open inside or out. . .
Mine makes a loud kind of whirring noise each time it tries to lock/unlock that lasts about a full second. It locks unlocks fine, even though the lock switch kind of sticks and is stiff to move, but the sound is the annoying part.
Will this fix that issue? Anyway I appreciate you making this video!
That’s probably the gears stripped inside the housing, not the motor,
I give you 10/10
Good video, but I think you’re a nut for trying all this!! And 2, what nut came up with this to start with!?
fantastic...no way would i be paying full price to replace the entire actuator unit...no way.
If the power door lock button is unresponsive, does that mean all the 4 motors on each door need to be replaced?
My lock works, but makes a loud, horrible noise. I've dealt with it, but I'm always worried something in the actuator is going to fail. Did I hear a little grindy squeak noise when you locked the door at ruclips.net/video/OSCoKGYsGwQ/видео.html ? I'm hoping that it isnt a worn gear or something else. What do you think that little noise was (is?) for you? Once I decide to tear it all down (using this video as a guide) my answer should be right in front of me. Fingers crossed. Thank you!
This is the link to buy the actuator motor
This is brilliant
Is it the same motor in all doors including the driver's?
ivan barboza All of the side doors are the same motor. The rear hatch has a different sized motor shaft, but the same size motor.
Thanks
I have an 08 fit and we replaced the lock actuator with no luck so now I’m wondering if it’s the motor. Can you please post the amazon link for the motor?
Hello. I’m having the same issue but my door is stuck closed. Is there any way to manually unlock the door and child safety lock on the actuator? Thank you !
I need the Amazon link to get the actuator motor for my 2.013 Honda fit
I just discovered a little trick if it is the drivers(master lock) Just disconnect the lock wire and THen the FOB will work fine. The actuator will work again for a while longer. How much longer. I don;t know. TO be seen. . :-)
I know its been a while but Im hoping someone can help. I have the same issue with my drivers side door. Ehat wire should I disconnect? Thanks..
Hi, great video. Can you describe what your symptoms were? We have a 07' CRV, and the front passenger lock is unlocking by itself, right after I lock it with the FOB. I found the was a TSB and a class action suit. Honda would repair but only until a 2015 deadline. I was looking for info on why the actuators were failing, and came across your video. The Fit actuator looks identical to the CRV actuator. So it comes down to the motor? It's the motor that fails? Why would it unlock? Would it be because it fails to overcome a spring load in the latch or something?
Reform Riverside Essentially the locks we're not looking or unlocking when they should. When the driver's side lock stopped working, the doors would constantly lock and unlock because the sensor detecting the lock position was showing that the door wasn't locked when it should be. Changing out the motor worked for that issue. But you should double check that the driver's side door is actually locking from the inside. If it is not, then this will solve the problems. If it is locking and then unlocking, then your issue may like elsewhere.
5:47. My situation is that the bottom piece with the hole where the lock/unlock cables goes in broke. Is that piece available online somewhere?
Am fixing a passenger driver side door actuator my question is how do I find it in Amazon ? I been trying hard like typing my year model and the word door actuator and nothing pops up
Update on the new motor ?
Hi , do we need the round shaft motor for the doors? Or the d shape?
You need the D shape.
So what exactly did you replace ?
thanks for the vid.
Sorry if stupid question but why does the whole window have to be taken out to fix the door lock? Any way to keep it rolled up? or does in need to be down/out of the way to take out the bits to get to the locking mechanism?
jannaqiao Apologize for the late reply, the window has to be taken out because the rear channel that holds the window in place needs to be moved to allow removal of the actuator. With the window rolled up the channel is unable to move out of the way enough to allow access and removal.
I did it with the window still in.
can you fix my crv 2008 door locks please?
I have a 07 fit. I can't open the rear doors from inside or outside. Suggestions?
Could the child safety lock be on?
This is exactly why i chose to ride a motorcycle instead.
👎
Haha just been quoted $1600 to fix mine!! Car door actuator.
Honda is plagued with door actuator issues.
In general, your video is good. But you failed to mention a single thing about the cable connecting the outside door key cylinder to the actuator. On my 2011 Fit, on the driver's door, the plastic clip that keeps this cable in the actuator broke and needed to be replaced. Only a $4 part. But, when broken, because this cable can't then move, it jams the locking and unlocking of the door from either the key or the key fob. The result is that you can lock the door no problem, but you cannot unlock it, And, if you can't unlock the drivers' door, none of the other doors will unlock either. And only the driver's door has a key cylinder. Even the real hatch does not have a key cylinder. I was majorly bummed when your video didn't show any ofr this
David Crandon Apologies, I only filmed the rear doors even though I eventually did replace the driver's side. Unfortunately I didn't film the driver's side. I don't recall it being too different from the rear doors or too difficult to remove.
This sounds like it was a real headache
