I have the same problem with my 2016 Honda Civic. It’s so loud and embarrassing. And plus my car locks when it wants to or when I stop and then go it’ll lock and make that loud noise everytime

I've had to replace this twice now. A little trick I did to make it even easier/faster is to just bend a wire coat hanger, make a hook at one end. Shove that through the the trunk side of the hole, hook the loop onto the coat hanger hook and pull it right through. This job is already easy, but that just makes it even easier/faster. Great vid!

mine doesnt buzz but it doesnt shut properly

Thanks, that was super helpful. I was able to do it myself and save $200.

My man save me thanks !!!! Again for this video !

Thank you so much! Mine just started making that ugly sound. I will work round it fix it myself.

Sorry, this actuator have a fuse?

Thanks for saving me a few hundred bucks that a stealership would’ve charged lol 😂

Can I get the link?

Thanks for the video bro. My daughters 2017 has that exact problem and I have the part in hand and will proceed to replace it. Wish me luck. Heard the repair shops are charging $300-500 to replace it.

So I took my car to the shop to get something fix and lietrally a day or two later this part of the car started acting up making a buzz noise . I’m trynna figure out if maybe they did something to it

Very useful video

Hello! Whats the name of that tool? I have this same problem Thanks for the great video!

Appreciate the video. Had to replace my gf actuator on her 2016. This was clutch. 🤝🏻

Oh my goddddd I have to do this frickkkkkk😭😭😭

Unneeded crap

Yes, I’m stupid bullshit the car manufacturers came up with that’s designed to fucking fail and caused you problems. It’s not even needed just some bullshit they came up with like everything else.

Thanks so much for the video! I just googled the part and it says it’s discontinued…do you know if the new part could be 74700-TBA-A02?

You solved my headache and saved me $280. Blessings on you forever 🙏🙏🙏🙏

What do you do with the white piece that went through? Just hangs?

That doesn’t explain why does it always make noise but thank you

2020 Honda Civic started doing this after I took it to do an oil change. Gas door was buzzing

If I'm having this problem and my gas door does not latch, could it be causing my check engine light to turn on

Do you have the link to where you bought it?

Thank soo much sir, you video helped me fix mine

20 minutes of swearing at the damn thing later I gave up on the emergency release. Lmao fuck honda

holy fuck that is bright i am in heaven looking at that shit

I thought this was my trunk lock or something else went wrong in the car but I followed the sound and now I just wanted to know how to replace the thing glad it's an easy fix though and you did a really great job with the video 💚👍thanks a ton

Absolute legend

For some reason I was about to start doing the Hokey Pokey with all that left hand right hand 😅

Is this the same for a 2016 civic?

thank you for this! been dealing with this noise forever!

Thank you so much! I didn't have a similar tool to pull the white wire through the hole so used some copper wire by looping the two together and pulling the copper wire bringing the white with it. Something this simple wasn't worth taking it to the dealer.

Thank you! I was quoted $160 by a Honda dealership to get it fixed and I can’t do that. I appreciate you!

if i have a warranty should i have the dealership fix it

Thank you so much for this helpful video!!!! Is this the correct piece for all civic models? Mine is also 2017 but just the basic one not type r

I bought on Amazon and it was only good for 2 weeks . Then back to annoying farting sounds .

I got a question . I installed a new one & the noise was gone but after one night . I went to work the next morning and as I locked my car I hear the noise again ?? Any reason why it happens if so please let me know Thank you!

Good video. I found it easier to pull the cable using a zip tie. Also a good idea to put some silicon crease on the rubber grommet.

My dude! Thank you so much! Canadian over here had the latch get noisy today so I knew what it was but this shows exactly what I need to do to fix it. Thank you so much!!!

Hey, Would this work for my 2016 Honda Civic EX-T?

My fking car made a loud as noise that sounded expensive. I'm glad it was just this looool Thanks for the video!

No idea how you got the lil cord through the hole, it was impossible for me to do it by myself and I was using a hook tool as well lol. I ended tying some twine around the loop and I had my mom tie a knot around the hook so I could kind of snake it through the hole from the trunk. Wasn’t able to get the rubber piece through but it still works fine regardless.

Just used this video to replace mine! Thank you so much!

My actuator was still working but I still had problems several times during freezing weather. The part was 67$ CAD at my local Honda dealer and the job took me about 10 min to complete. 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.

will this fit a honda civic si 2018 coupe??

i bought it from walmart and shipping was free..total was 35$ and it took some 10 days to receive it.. thanks for the video.. it helped me to install the actuator...

Will this work a 2016 civic?

Do you know what to do when the noise keeps going after replacing it with a new actuator?

Super helpful video! just changed mine 10 minutes ago with the help of this video! I got mine from Honda Auto Parts Warehouse, but like he said, definitely shop around for the best prices.
