Nice fix!.....But why didn't you try to splice the disconnected wires back in the connector first to save Money buying the new part?

[@bryancruz2095]

Awesome video, great walkthrough, thank you!

[@Nyabennah]

Did it work for you??? It fixed my window but door still wont lock!!

[@anacamacho1404]

wow !! I have the same thing ,, thank you ,, will order part , and see!!

[@MLTUBE89]

Yea common issue, good luck, thanks!

[@andrewrobinson5639]

Why is the part number on the box different than the part number on the harness itself? The box ends in A00 and the part ends in A01

[@MLTUBE89]

Good catch, I didn't notice until you mentioned it. I'm not sure why to be honest .

[@jhonduque899]

Great video i had same problem an d i found this part on junk yard now my MDX is fixed thanks

[@MLTUBE89]

Glad to hear !

[@cameronsimonton2515]

Excellent video! Even if you “messed up” (learning curve), it was tremendous help. Would not be feasible to remove that one “bar” holding the door on (nearest you), in order to widen the space to work; or, would that cause additional problems? Thanks again!

[@cameronsimonton2515]

I may have missed it, but does this harness control all four doors? Or is the other side controlled by the harness on the passenger side. I know a car that has the two doors on the passenger side won’t block. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. Very good video also.

[@Bnabum]

Thank you for the detailed step by step instruction. When taking the old one out...could you not just snip the ends off and pull it thru? Would be faster than trying to finaggle it out.

[@awakenotwoke2643]

Wonder if that "tab" was putting stress on wires causing them to crack in first place.Excellent job and patience.👍

[@MLTUBE89]

Yea who knows , my door checkers are gone so the door has to be opened all the way and doing that might have also lead to the wires coming out.Thanks for watching!

[@angiepaulino9271]

Thank you sooooo much!! Is been insane !! But I will try to do this hopefully it works out !!

[@MLTUBE89]

Yes it also drove me crazy for the longest time and was such a relief when fixed. Glad it helps and hope it works out for you! Please post back the progress

[@anthonymoore8480]

Excellent, tutorial!!! Thanks 😊

[@TB-xf8tg]

Just fixed mine. Same exact wire broke. Thank you very much!!!!

[@MLTUBE89]

Awesome! Glad I could help. Thanks for watching

[@hooverelondono9946]

Great video thanks for parts number

[@wiseone6536]

Thank you for this valuable advice! It was exactly what my problem was. As soon as I took off that boot I saw that loose wire! If I can offer a little production advise? Drop all of the dead space where you go fetch tools and gloves as well as the mistake of not removing that plastic pass through gasket. I also will opt to simply cut those cables to make removal easier. Otherwise this was awesome and extremely valuable!! Thanks again sir

[@wiseone6536]

An add on, It took about a month the get that wire harness since so many Honda vehicles around this year are having the exact same issue. After watching this video I had the part installed in about 20 mins tops !!

[@bradfranklin2210]

Thanks so much! This totally fixed it

[@jaskamalmann3341]

How much was the cost of the part

[@CoralineCook]

Those are the same problems we are having. Can’t wait to try and fix it. Thank you

[@MLTUBE89]

Yea it's a common thing , all the best you can do it !

[@andrewrobinson5639]

I just an 08 mdx today and it has the exact same issue! To a T now I know how to fix it!! Thank you

[@MLTUBE89]

Glad to help , did you get it solved?

[@dakbong]

Thanks for the video. My MDX has the same issues. Hopefully I can find the part and try this.

[@MLTUBE89]

Glad to help , Good luck 👍

[@dakbong]

@@MLTUBE89so I got the part from eBay and it did not fit exactly but it fit good enough to fix my locks & windows. One step to add would be to check the plug connections before pulling pulling everything out. I have a 2008 MDX. Only the rear driver side window didn’t work after. I can live with that! But thanks fixed most of my issues.

[@sarmadqasim6607]

Great job thanks

[@Brownspeed_]

Mines broke also won’t shift out of park could that be my issue

[@LB-ib4td]

Just did this today thanks to this info!!! 🙌🏿

[@directexchange7639]

Good stuff 😎

[@MLTUBE89]

Thanks!

[@HoangTran-ls9bt]

Very impressive video

[@mrweisu]

Did you get the correct part? The replacement part I got has two green connectors

[@MLTUBE89]

Yes I did and it's the right part. The colors aren't always same on harnesses as automakers have different vendors making them so they can vary.

[@Polowashere]

Awesome the part I need help with you didn't film lol 😆

[@MLTUBE89]

Did the best I can , I'm sure your capable of figuring it out.

[@sovannyros]

Thanks

[@mrweisu]

On the door side, a square edge piece needs to be removed, just like on the car side. Now you harness looks funny on the door side.

[@MLTUBE89]

No idea what your talking about but cool .

[@mrweisu]

@@MLTUBE89 did you remove anything from the door side? If you did, it's all good. If you didn't, you need to remove a white piece of plastic. It's a square hollowed out

[@MLTUBE89]

@Wei Su the White rectangle piece that sits in the rubber boot which clips in to secure it to door. Is that what you mean?

[@mrweisu]

@@MLTUBE89 yes. I saw your boot on the door side is a bit bulky. Maybe my eyes not good
