Door lock actuator replacement: rear, 2003 - 2007 Accord
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- I replace the door lock actuator for the rear door passenger side on the 2003 - 2007 Honda Accord. A weak door lock actuator will lead to inconsistent or partial lifting of the car door lock knob. In essence this will lead to the car door lock knob not working.
Thank you for posting this. 2003 honda accord right rear door actuator replaced with your help.
You're welcome! Thanks!
Very hard 😅😅 congratulations body
Hi, thanks for the video, please where can I get the actuator to replace my, it's faulty it started recently. Thanks for your help. Am in Lagos.
Hello,
Thanks for watching. Ladipo should have this in abundance. Not sure of other parts markets in Lagos. Oyingbo probably too. If you intend to buy a used part, check out my video on how to get good used door lock actuators. ruclips.net/video/JQ73gUC4HmE/видео.html
In my experience, aftermarkets die pretty quickly so I typically go for used OEM locally.
Great video. Really helped me fix my door. Thanks!
Thanks!
The plastic piece on the door handle cable has broken enabling me to open door from inside. Do you how to fix this?? It looks just like the yellow one on your door.
Mine is broken too but still works. In fact, that plastic on all my door handle cables are all broken! Flimsy stuff.
All you need to do is place the cable in it's seating area with the 2 halves of the yellow plastic on either side of the metal notch that holds it in place. The trick is ensuring that the 2 pieces remain either side of the notch when you put the panel back to the door. Having the glass down helps during this last step.
@@DIYAutoworksNG thanks that did the trick my door has been that way for 3 years.
Was somewhat helpful but you should have put camera to show us what you are talking about you focused on your wrist 🤨🧐
Thanks a lot for the feedback. This was long ago and I've improved my camera angle craft a whole lot in recent videos. 😀
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment. Really appreciate that!
How did you get the screws out on the side of the door?
I know what you mean. They can be a pain to remove! They are also quite soft, and strip easily. Here's my advice:
1. Ensure you use the right size of screwdriver bit. This is a make or break step. If you don't, the screw will strip. The bit should fit snug with no wiggle.
2. When you've inserted the screw driver in, give the end of the screwdriver a couple wacks before you start unfastening. This usually helps to loosen them.
3. Do this procedure manually, don't use a impact driver or other such tools. Can easily strip the screw if it doesn't get a good catch.
Oh damn by the title, I thought you were going to repair the actuator, not replace it
Those actuators (at least in this car) are sealed shut and can't be dismantled. No screws or bolts.
For me, not worth the time cutting it open, replacing the motor (which I'm not sure where to find) and then glueing it back.
Your video gave great insight thank you
Thanks!
V help ful vedio but you used the blade this is a not good please use it paper cuter
Noted. Thanks!
Helped me a bunch man, thanks
You're welcome!
I have not tried this before, but given that the actuator is integrated into the door lock, I am not certain this will function well. Except you mean just removing the electric connector to the actuator.
You may be better off leaving the bad actuator there (except if it's seized) and using the key manually.
Thanks for the helpful video, in my 07 Accord, rear driver door lock doesn't work with remote or from the main master lock switch on the driver side, what could it be? I ensured child lock isn't engaged. If it's actuator, are steps exactly same? Thank you
This is definitely the actuator and the procedure is the same. Thanks for reading!
@@DIYAutoworksNG , thank you. Would you suggest a dealer or a used/aftermarket would be fine too? Thanks for the help.
I have used an aftermarket that died in just a month. Will either go with new or used OEM. I did a video on how to select good used ones. See the video here ruclips.net/video/JQ73gUC4HmE/видео.html
A good used part will actuate in a crisp and fast manner. Weak actuation indicates that the actuator will fail soon. Hope this helps.
Absolutely!
Removing the latch and actuator is relatively easy but how does it connect to the door handle. The front door has a rod from the latch to the outside handle, but I don't know about the rear door.
Hello there,
the rear door has a similar setup, some difference, but same principle. A rod still connects the latch to the external rear door handle.
My door is locked from inside and out and very hard to remove the door panel
Does the door knob pull up or its hard to do so?
@@DIYAutoworksNG the door knob remain in the locked position and won't go up while pulling up.
It's a common occurrence. You will have to get an assistant, pull the door knob very hard, it will move eventually. When it does you can ask the other person to pull the door handle.
I have had this at least twice or so. It usually works. The reason it's so hard is because the actuator is jammed in the locked position.
thanks!
You're welcome
Thanks for this video
