I have been getting annoyed with the buzzing sound in my door for quite a while now and came across this video when I was watching the valve cover replacement video. I have the actuator sitting on my desk waiting for the glue to dry. Your videos have been extremely helpful, thank you!
This is brilliant. I have this issue on 91 Accord, but taking off the actuator without taking the latch out of the door doesn't seem possible, and removing and reinstalling the latch is very difficult for me.
Thank you for showing how to do this. On my wagon I switched out my hatch lock with one that works and managed to get the front driver and rear passenger doors locking. I had unhooked the front passenger and rear drivers side because of the noise. I'm confident that doing this repair shown to the locks I have disabled right now will fix them. Then I will hopefully have all 5 locks working perfect.
Nice video. I had similar sound but it wasn't the rubber bushing (still in place). It was a small black plastic retainer that held a spring into the clutch mechanism.underneath the mechanism. I managed to wedge spring back in place w/ wood chip glued in place and it works,...most of the time.
mine too. Mine had a black spring sticking out by the 2 wires. I shimmed the spring back in with a little piece of wood and super glued the wood in place. fixed it
GREAT VIDEO....replacing the loose piece of rubber was a pain.....no room...I decided to remove the pin on the outside of the actuator and therefore I had lots of room to replace and glue the piece of rubber that came off......
great video bro... it helped me even though it was not the same problem .. what i found inside was a spring that had popped out of the the big gear ... i then put a small piece of metal big enough to push the spring back down..then i glued the metal bit in and it was working again.
Ha! Wow, I always wondered what causes this issue. Our 86 Accord had this issue but I've seen many others in parking lots that had this issue too from other generations as well, very interesting!
On my part, the two rubbers were fine and in place but the plastic that held Spring in place was broken and the spring was sticking out. THat is only thing I saw out of place compared to the replacement part. Do you know what the spring does mechanically that may cause the rotatiing teeth to spin over and not engage and stop as they are supposed to? When I switch to unlock/lock position, the teeth just continue to run and not work correctly. Again, the 2 rubber stop are in place and in geat condition. How is the spring not being fully clamped affect this part?
Mine had a black spring sticking out by the 2 wires. I shimmed the spring back in with a little peach of wood and super glued the wood in place. fixed it
What if the actuator stops still work, but repeats its attempts to lock, whether locking was successful or not. Like somebody repeatedly pressing the lock button 3 or 5 times after pressing it the first and only time? Would this be an issue with the actuator, or linkage, or a relay maybe? And also handle must be lifted or key turned for door to lock.
mine was the main fuel pump relay. just search NO START 94 Honda Accord. Relay is under drivers dash behind steering Column. I left in the old housing and just replaced the part inside. 55 year old Gramma here. easy fix just tough to get to
hey i have a 94 accord lx with spoiler, 3rd brake light js out other 2 works fine changed the , bulbs, changed blown fuzes still doesnt light up, any help would help thanks! and also my power locks dont fully work, the car locks but it wont unlock, i have to manually unlock the doors.
hi i have a accorrrd 95 and i couldn`t take off the lock and actuator because it has something holding the handle door and i didn`t see a video teaching how to do that. The door is front passenger. Can you post a video teaching how take that lock assembly off please. Thank you.
+Jorge Caldas This was a passenger side actuator from a 95 EX I made a video showing how to remove it. Just remove the 3 screws securing it and pull it back and down to disengage it from the lock / unlock pin.
+Bushougoma yes, I saw but Ican not take off one of this three screws.Then I wanted take off the actuator and the lock after that could try get that one hard screw but I don´t know if I need take the handle off to get the actuator. I don´t know if you understand me.
Jorge Caldas Make sure the screwdriver you're using is in good condition and a tight fit to the screw head. Removing the latch should be a last resort. Remove the window run channel bolt and push the channel off to the side. Pop the rod off at the handle linking the lock cylinder to the latch. Pop off the bushing connecting the latch release rod to the handle. It will require some force right angle pliers are recommended to get behind the bushing to pry it away from the handle. You can also pull the outer handle forward through the door a bit for extra access if you want by removing the 2 bolts. There are two access holes to get to them one is outside the area covered by the door trim panel under a sticker. Once it's off remove the 3 screws on the outside of the door securing the latch and you should be able to maneuver it out. Inspect the handle bushing for damage if it's badly damaged get a new one from the dealer. On re installation the rod should pop into the handle with some effort and you may need to use channel locks to press it back in. If it pops in too easily replace it. Having the latch release rod pop out of the handle with the door closed and the panel on is not something you want to deal with.

I did the exact same thing that you did on my '96 Accord. It's been good for 3 years now.
mine too. Mine had a black spring sticking out by the 2 wires. I shimmed the spring back in with a little piece of wood and super glued the wood in place. fixed it
LOL that is exactly how i fixed my 94 accord. super glue and wood on the spring. Great minds think alike.

Cool video, nice to see you back. I have not had problems with the locks yet but this is great information to know. Thank you for the video.
Very good video. Fixed it just like you said. Got it done and it works great. Thanks a bunch
Ha! Wow, I always wondered what causes this issue. Our 86 Accord had this issue but I've seen many others in parking lots that had this issue too from other generations as well, very interesting!
Thanks bro I appreciate this video almost went ahead and bought a new one but not anymore lifesaver man keep it up!
Unique video nobodyelse do it like you man, lot of money savings, thanks a million
Great Video! I was about to buy three actuators, but will attempt to repair first. Thanks!
Great video! I'll be fixing mine today.
Nice video. Can you make one about transmission solenoids??? Thank you.
Thanks so much
Nice video man, it helps me a lot. Good job.

On theses door locks is there a way to defeat the need to raise the door handle before pushing down the door lock .....Thanks in advance
Did it go clink clink clink?
This helped
excelente dica, grande abraço e sucesso pra vc.
Excellent video. Great!!! Please post one why the honda accord 94/97 no cranking and no start. What are or can be the mais problems??? Thank you guy.

+Gingeria1 Thank you Gineria for your comment. I'll try to do that.
MASTER!!!!
Hello i just want to ask is this same all process for the four lock actuator of honda accord?
hey i have a 94 accord lx with spoiler, 3rd brake light js out other 2 works fine changed the , bulbs, changed blown fuzes still doesnt light up, any help would help thanks! and also my power locks dont fully work, the car locks but it wont unlock, i have to manually unlock the doors.
And to think i got another door just to get rid of that sound

Make sure the screwdriver you're using is in good condition and a tight fit to the screw head. Removing the latch should be a last resort.
Remove the window run channel bolt and push the channel off to the side.
Pop the rod off at the handle linking the lock cylinder to the latch.
Pop off the bushing connecting the latch release rod to the handle.
It will require some force right angle pliers are recommended to get behind the bushing to pry it away from the handle.
You can also pull the outer handle forward through the door a bit for extra access if you want by removing the 2 bolts. There are two access holes to get to them one is outside the area covered by the door trim panel under a sticker.

Ok Great teaching. Thank you.
