2003-2007 Honda Accord Passenger Door Lock Actuator Replacement

[@critic514]

brother, I just fixed this on my gfs car and also used your other video on the trunk not opening. thanks a ton

[@Doesntmatter-xc8ur]

By far the best video on this. The others have too many cuts. Can’t see what’s being done. Did this an hour with a dead drill. While shooting the breeze with my brother in the yard. Made it almost too easy.

[@sids73]

Very nice instructional video. Thank you for documenting every step meticulously. After many years of ignoring the problem and having to use my key to lock and unlock my car I finally mustered the courage to buy the actuator and follow your video to repair my driver side door. I can now lock and unlock remotely again. Feels like a new car again :). Thanks again.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

👏🏽👏🏽 nice work!

[@longle6167]

Excellent video. I followed and fixed the power door lock. Thanks.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Glad it helped

[@dliddell675]

Before taking the door apart, make sure you can get the 3 Phillips head screws at least loosened first. This can be the hardest part of the job, and usually means a trip to Harbor Freight for an impact screw driver if you can't

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Yep, had to use impact driver and a good electric wrench. Them screws are tough

[@F1504NOLA]

I used a small butane torch to help losen the screws,that was a major obstacle at first

[@nosac1230]

Thanks for confirming my plan! It would really be a pain to get the panel, etc., off just to realize you can't get the screws out!

Very helpful, thank you! Got both front doors done in a couple of hours. One note to others, if you have a handle on the door panel, as mine does, there is also 2 screws behind that behind a trim piece. Took me a sec to figure out why the door was not coming off.

[@cl4177]

Thanks, I followed your instructions to replace front passenger side actuator and worked a treat and saved my bacon!

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Glad it helped!

[@ariannegage2126]

Thank you so much for this video! Changed two of my actuators tonight, and I'm pleased as punch to have done it myself! Your excellent video is to thank for that. You are great!! Thank you again.

Good work 👍🏼😀

Great camera work, really easy to follow.

Thanks!

In my 2006 Honda Accord, the door is locked and I cannot open the door! How do I open the door to fix the actuator ? Do you have a video on that ? Please link that video. Thank you and best wishes

[@werem369]

6:52 just make sure you put the plastic nob to the latch.. it's crucial otherwise you will have a problem with the open door

[@GTSUDANESE]

Thank you very very much bro ❤

[@jdm_is350]

I managed to fix the door lock but I also managed to destroy my window regulator button unit in the process 👍 gotta wait for the new part now and drive around with my door trim in the trunk till then

[@NutzAboutBolts]

A small price to pay for the experience in doing it yourself. You probably save more money as well doing it yourself than bringing it to a shop, which charged 110$ an hr, plus 1 hr of diagnosing it too.

[@jdm_is350]

@NutzAboutBolts 100%, and I can still drive it while waiting for the part

[@mrwise7067]

Sir do you have a video on replacing a door latch?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

@@mrwise7067 unfortunately no…

[@kular01]

Would the driver side use the same method (different part, of course)?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Yes

[@Whyismytacoblue666]

Thanks! Very detailed video.

[@bruce.k.9673]

I have a question Do i follow the same for the Driver side ? If I have a remote alarm/control for the doors does it affect anything? If i change the acuator?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Yes, it should be the same procedure for the driver side. As for your alarm, I’m not too sure, but I assume some are tapped into the wires to control your door locks.

[@NDSUatikur]

My passenger side front door is locked. How can I open it first to replace the actuator? Thanks.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

You might have to break the plastic door cover to get access to it, try popping it off of the clips from the metal door.

[@NDSUatikur]

@@NutzAboutBolts Thank you for your reply. You meant break to destroy? How can I repair the door cover then?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

@@NDSUatikur I haven’t done it myself, but I’ve seen another person on KZbin break their plastic door panel to get access to the actuator. You can try popping the clips and pulling the cover back if you can, other than that, I’m not sure if you can or can’t save it.

[@supern35]

What if the door is closed and it won't open... then what

[@NutzAboutBolts]

I have a video of opening the door from the inside.

[@jayc3110]

​@@NutzAboutBoltsplease post a link to your KZbin video on how the stuck locked door can be opened. I have this problem I cannot open the door.! Thank you and best wishes

[@braingil2661]

How do you remove that rod from the door handle completely when replacing it

[@AlexandarMilenkoski]

i followed the instructions but was struggling to get the panel off so i rolled down the window, got it off but then the window wouldnt go up, and now i put it all together and taped it shut but the window only activates going down and not up, any ideas what i did to cause this? i shouldnt have done it by myself tbh

[@NutzAboutBolts]

You need to roll the window down to remove the panel anyways. Did you replace the actuator with a new one? Was it working before you couldn’t roll it up? Could be a bad window regulator if it’s giving you issue. Or somethings not put back together properly…

[@southzone714]

Wow..solves my issue! Kinda disesmble, but worh it..! Thanks a mil!!!👍🏼🇺🇸

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Nice!

[@richardreyes807]

To remove the three screws you need a ph3 screwdriver trust me it's the easiest way

[@artsoto5459]

My driver side rear door is making loud noise when it unlocks, im talking loud buzzing noise, for a few seconds and then goes away, is it my actuator?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Only way to find out is to remove the plastic panel and inspect if it’s the actuator or the mechanical parts…

[@eddiegarcia1057]

will this part work on both v6 and v4 accords?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Yes,

[@Omgkhii]

V4😂 poor guy

[@VangBill96]

So my moms accord, the driver side actuator is broken and the door is also close. The remote for the car doesn’t unlock it and I also tried pulling the rod manually up and down to try to unlock it but nothing is clicking in the actuator. With the door closed and locked I can’t get to the 3 screws on the side of the actuator any ideas on how to solve this problem or how to get the actuator out?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Try to pry out the plastic door panel as best you can, the only way is to that where I showed in the last video on what to pull, or try a door skimmer to try to pull on the rod with the windows down...

[@NutzAboutBolts]

My best bet is to go through the door panel since the 2 pieces to pull is covered by the door actuator plastic piece I showed in the last video

[@JokersVlogs78]

How can I fix the cable from the inside handle my is broken

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Replace it if it’s broken

[@gabrielledean5996]

What do you do if door stuck shut

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Remove the plastic panel, you’ll have to remove some screws on the door handle and then pull back the panel to pop the clips off and pull back to remove the panel and go from there where I showed you go pull on the inside device to open the door. Hope that helps.

[@jaz6869]

Is this why my door only opens when I manually hold the lock up?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

yes, the actuator helps push and pull the rod up and down so that it'll unlock and lock the door. If you have to manually pull the rod up to open the door, then your actuator could be bad.

[@michaelnyanu9588]

Great

[@davedierking2053]

Great job thanks!!

[@dinobeats_Oficial]

On which page can I buy the actuator?

[@NutzAboutBolts]

I bought mine from Amazon, you can find the link in the description box

[@ravenjco]

Thanks for the part links

[@trankt54155]

Very easy but painful and takes a long time. Part costs around $25 for my Honda....I had to replace mine at around only 50K miles....made out of plastics and did not last.

[@NutzAboutBolts]

Wow, Honda was trying to charge me 50$ just for the parts. I bought mine for 12$ on Amazon 🤣🤣

[@trankt54155]

@@NutzAboutBolts That must be aftermarket and not Honda because you cannot get any Honda part for $12----well probably a washer, nut and bolt....

@@trankt54155 yep, it’s not oem, but still works. 50$ is pretty pricey.
