01-05 Honda Civic Trunk/Gas Lid Release Cable Replacement

[@rogerdodger5415]

Thank you very much! It was a booger… and seemed to fight me all the way through it… but I kept going back and restudying your video… and I made it. Actually… turns out the steel cable itself was NOT broken. The little pressed on connector for the plastic coated outside cable had come loose right there at the “push-pull handle”. 🙏🙏🙏 ✌️✌️✌️

Thanks a lot my friend I still have my Civic 2003 coupe and your video was very useful The job is done and everything looks pretty good Thanks again Best regards from Mexico 🇲🇽

This just happened to my car yesterday and this is the first video I watched. Feel good enough to go do it myself. Thanks for the help!

[@duskc6773]

Your car is clean man

[@AlexisCardona]

Amazing video and to the point with good directing. Feeling confident on replacing mine now.

[@obbrooklyn]

Going to attempt this next week! Very thorough video, thank you!

[@jaminv2889]

Thank you man, about to try this out this weekend. I just ordered the part and should arrive tomorrow. Clear, concise and awesome.

Thanks I see that there are 2 Honda Genuine part numbers corresponding to 2001-2005 Honda Civic Trunk/Fuel Lid Release Cable. Part 74880-S5P-305 (For 2 Door) and 74880-S5A-305 (For 4 Door). The price of the two varies significantly. 74880-s5p-305 is around $35 and 74880-S5A-305 is around $85. Is there any secondary market part which is cheaper OR can we use part 74880-S5P-305 for a 2005 Honda Civic 4 door sedan ? Some reviewers say that these can be used interchangeably.

[@Zeltroix]

Did you ever find out if it's the same for the 2 door and 4 door? I have a 2 door but the price for the 2 door is about double than it is for the 4 door even though in the pictures they look exactly the same.

[@jaminv2889]

@@Zeltroix I just called the Honda dealer in my area for mine, she says that it makes a difference in the length of the cable between the 2 door and the 4 door. I needed the 2 door one. It ended up being like $52 at my dealer, only $5 more expensive than an OEM one on Amazon, and I used my VIN to make sure it was the right part.

how do i open the gas door from the trunk? on a 05 civic lx

[@mickaeldavid1304]

Wiggle the cable

[@zealgaming9123]

Do you easily switch out the trunk key from your old trunk and replace it on the new one??

[@JCAUTOMOTIVE4444]

You leave the same key cylinder on. So the same key should work. This only switches the cables that pull release levers

[@zealgaming9123]

@@JCAUTOMOTIVE4444 oh ok gotcha, I’m about to replace the whole trunk so I was just wondering.

[@tylergrey1468]

[@magabdu1]

Excellent work. Thank you.

[@CarlosGarcia-iz6ec]

Question do these cables come set already or do I have to pull the silver line to get it to git

[@JCAUTOMOTIVE4444]

They are usually set already

[@enriquebarron4065]

I appreciate this video helped a lot

[@patriciaborgatta1157]

[@salarsalahi]

[@WPGinterceptor460Interceptor]

there is a5$ piece you can buy on ebay to fix this.. look it up, there is youtube videos

[@Jim5myli]

well done. thanks.

[@Jane_Snow_]

Honda service wants $400 to replace my gas lid release cable, does that seem exorbitant?

[@JCAUTOMOTIVE4444]

Sounds about what they charge

[@christianleon527]

Why you remove so many things? I literally just fed the cable through didn’t remove the seats or all the plastics

[@JCAUTOMOTIVE4444]

Because I wanted it done right

[@christianleon527]

How is removing 20 extra parts the right way? That cable is just resting In between all the parts you removed. If u lift the seat up you can see the cable and pull it through. I pulled it through the exact same route it was previously routed and reused all the clips. 10 min job. Works great 😊

[@JCAUTOMOTIVE4444]

@christianleon527 make a video and show us

[@christianleon527]

@@JCAUTOMOTIVE4444 bro I just thought I would let you know there’s an easier way to do it maybe for your next video but you obviously don’t want to hear it. Ttyl buddy thanks for the video.

[@JCAUTOMOTIVE4444]

🤣 sorry bro just everything is either negative or positive no in between here on the comments. I thought maybe you were just trying to prove me wrong. I appreciate your feedback. I honestly just do whatever is in the book. I can’t remember what source I used for this video it was a while ago. But thanks again sorry for the misunderstanding

[@SLPSRocks]

Im surprised not a single person on the comments has complained about how stupidly Honda designed this car lol
