[@danielkalani3101]

Thanks to you, I just finished replacing the lock actuator on my 01 crv. ****One TIP**** I was able to remove the actuator from the latch without removing the door handle and the rod that is attached to the lever, I've done that by unscrewing the only screw on the actuator through the small hole (maybe half-inch in diameter) in the door itself. And through the same hole, I screwed the new actuator in place. This saved me a lot of work.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Very nice!

[@reegancauser6042]

Mate, honestly seriously appreciate how you explain things , plus clearly define where and how things are with steady camera movements and straightforward language use. I would like to see more how to's done by you.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Appreciate the comment! I definitely need to get out and do some more DIY's!

[@210dc2mike]

Thanks for the video I followed the advice in the comments and was able to change it out on the driver side door without completely removing it. I just removed the 3 screws holding the actuator, the 10mm bolt below it and the c clip connecting the rod to the door handle. The small screw on the actuator was longer than I expected and was a little difficult to remove but I got it done in about half an hr. 👍

[@lv999iam]

Thanks for the video, just did this on mine. Tips: If the circular clip is rusty, you can take off EVERYTHING (including the handle) together if you take the time to slide the handle into the handle hole and pull it all down into the door cavity. You should be able to pull it all out through the biggest hole on the inside. If your actuator phillips screw pattern was rusty like mine, the screws on the OLD actuator housing can be used as a new screw.

[@CurvyRoadsAreBetter]

Just replaced my front door actuators last night! Thank you for uploading this great video so many years ago!

[@alexsian]

I figured out a way to replace actuator without taking whole assembly out of the car. It involved taking the screw off that holds the bottom window rail, and lowering/removing the rail but leaving the window channel in place. The window channel is flexible enough to swing up and out of the way, and now you have enough room to pull the assembly to front of car, just enough to see and remove the single screw holding the actuator in place. Sorry I didn't do a video. Thanks for your video that gives us all a great head start, and confidence to tackle this on our own! Stay Safe!

[@fernandobarra2245]

I just did this, the door lock does not have to be removed. To remove the bars by the door lock, the yellow plastic tab can be unlocked and the spinning tab can be pried loose by a flat screwdriver easily.

[@muhammadzubairdawood3849]

Thanks buddy! I followed your steps from ordering the actuator from Amazon, then your entire installation. Took me about an hour. All working now and no more door lock hassel. Thanks again and saved me allot of time, effort and money.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Great to hear!!

[@metalnicx]

Great video. Just a couple things. At 5:34, rather then removing the c-clip just flip the yellow plastic holder around and then pull out the rod. Also, at 6:52 if you push the door handle back through the door then you can spin it around to get it off the rod. Pulling it off will just break the plastic clip otherwise.

[@Hmoob101]

Nick Jimroglou yea didn’t need to remove the c-clip just twist tab pull out also didn’t need to remove the other rod that attaches to the door handle take everything out from inside the door

[@Trainyourbrain9792]

Yo man!Thank you. Took it apart and put it back together and felt really accomplished. Only hickup was when I put the actuator in, it wouldn't lock with the key fab. We gave up and decided we would take it apart again if we had to. But low and behold, once we got it all put back together, it worked to unlock and lock the door and it's awesome. Thanks for the great video! You just saved me $400.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Love to hear it!!! 👍

[@MendoncaRicardo]

This was very, very helpful. I managed not to remove the door handle (a clip identical to the inside handle). Putting it back it helped to slide the window rail down the rubber without taking it off entirely but enough to pull it forward and put the lock back inside

[@tepesquincle]

Good explanation and inside views. In my ' 99 CRV i have first changed the control relay of the control unit. As far I know actually the relay makes some familiar clik ( once it was not ). I will check the unit and I will replace it . Thank to Garage Built Hondas . My car becomes younger day by day.

[@getsmarter5412]

@5:45 If you know how it works, the yellow clip can be moved to release the rod. Much easier than removing the C clip.

[@brandoncoggins]

Had the same issue with the godawful noise on my wife’s CR-V. Just replaced the actuator thanks to this vid with no issues and it’s nice and quiet again. Thanks for the good work

[@Mudpuppyjunior]

Excellent video. One tip; you don't have to release the blue clip that retains the interior door rod. It will come out attached and, more importantly, will go back in attached. Extremely difficult to get back into its blue clip and secured once the latch assembly is back in place.

[@stephiecee7232]

Hello from 2021, this DIY still works. Thank you.

[@christiantlee]

You have a crv now too?! I used to watch all your videos and they’ve helped me tons. I then stopped watching your videos so much after I finally gave my crx to my little brother and picked up a crv a couple months ago. Will definitely be on the watch to see what you’re gonna do to this crv! Keep up the great work!

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Awesome man, welcome back! Probably just maintenance as I daily drive it. Anything that breaks I'm going to try and fix.

[@rb1093]

Done mine no joke 15 mins. So followed the steps but couldn't be asked with taking the whole thing out and doing it out the car. So took door panel off. Undo the 3 screws holding the actuator assembly and the bolt. The c clip you undone from the back of the outside handle I took off and that allowed the whole unit to drop. Undone the screw slid out and put new one in while it was still in the door it allows enough room to get a screw driver in and take it out. Then push it back into place done.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I had to learn how everything worked and to show each mechanism. A lot of people don't have the mechanical experience so I wanted this to describe every single part that they may need to remove to get it swapped out. I'll try your method on my driver door as that actuator is getting really *weak.*

[@rb1093]

@@GarageBuiltHondas yes without your step by step I wouldn't of been able to work it out. Even with the 3 screws and the bolt you can move it down. But buy undoing the I'm guess the barrel c clip and moving that it then drops completely which is so easy

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I'm gonna try it! Just ordered a new actuator tonight

[@rb1093]

I couldn't find a brand new one for mine I'm in the UK. Everyone I messaged on eBay said it wasn't the right one for my car. Think it's because we drive on the other side so passenger side for me is your driver's side. Might get a new one and just put driver's side in and see if that works. But the unit I got even though it's 2nd hand has done 160k and is fine my car was is on 110k and it was making the sound so fingers crossed this unit will stay fine

[@johnjkizer6399]

To make things easier u don’t need to remove the C clip, just remove the connecting rod just like what u did with the door handle, much easier

[@sonar8594]

I've seen people say that he didn't have to remove the C-clip, but I think he did it to prove that it could somehow will it to stay on the tip of the screwdriver. That would have shot off into the door never to be seen again if it were me doing this job. Even if somehow I had managed to end with it balanced on the screwdriver, now way that makes it all the way out the door; again, it would have fallen through to the alternate dimension where the extra hardware in IKEA boxes comes from.

[@johnjkizer6399]

Also u can leave the door handle on the car , no need to remove, the connections can simply be disconnected

[@davidyellowstar4910]

Thanks. Mine didnt make noise but it wouldnt lock with the key, same issue tho; worn out attenuator to attend to ha. Its sluggish when you lock it with the inside door switch but wouldnt lock at all with key from outside the vehicle. Have to reach from the back door, what a hassle, gotta put a new one in so thanks again

[@slimsqde7397]

got a similar problem, mine barely unlocks with the switch, hopefully this is the issue

[@mikelane3611]

Very helpful. I've been trying to remove the door lock cylinder based on the manual instructions. Cannot see or get to the cylinder retaining U-clip . Now I will try to remove the entire handle, which should make finding the clip and removing the cylinder alot easier.

I bought mine 3 years ago and have been very happy with it even with the constant sway bar link replacements. Mine is a 5 speed, you can take it up to 4000 RPM's when a little more push is needed. You may have wanted to do the power window and reg while you were in there.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Sway bar end links replacements? They go bad? Mines auto, it's a little sluggish but it encourages me to drive slower. 😀

[@joejunky8427]

They do. I ended up getting the heavy duty sway bar links on the last time so we'll see how long they last. I don't drive it that much. Common flaw with this car along with the exhaust valves, keep them adjusted every 30, 000 miles. Like the Integra, most of the weight of this car is on the front tires so constant maintenance in that area is needed. Otherwise very reliable.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Interesting and thanks! I'll have to take a look at mine. I'm also going to adjust the valves once I get to the timing belt soon! Appreciated the info!

I believe yes. The key will still move the locking mechanism but the actuator will no longer do that job.

I have a 2000 crv, driver side door lock will not respond to key opening it's gives no resistance when inserting the key and trying to turn it just turns, alarm unlock doesn't work either and the rest of the doors don't unlock unless the driver does. Seems the driver lock is the master but I can pull the lock up manually but it will not unlock the rest of the doors. I currently have to open the passenger side with the key which works and reach over and pull up the driver lock. Do you think it's the actuator or something else? Oh and on some super rare occasions when i try to open the door with the key it will work but it's pretty resistant to turn.

Can you please help me? How do the lock button knobs attach inside the door on Gen 1 CR-V's? (The round knobs on the top of the doors that go in/out and up/down.). I broke the driver side one off and want to buy a new one but the only ones I see are on ebay. Ebay has 1 listing for an OEM tan one that is very used, but I want black new ones. Rockauto has nothing surprisingly. Do they screw in? If so what threading? Ebay has a bunch of carbon fiber ones that look cool and appear to be somewhat stronger, so I am wondering if those will work. They say they're universal, but does not list what cars it will work on. Not quite sure if they'll work. I would greatly appreciate any help you can provide me. If you could give a possible recomendation where to buy new ones would be awesome. I am looking for Black and/or chrome colored. Thank you in advance sir.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

That's a good question, and one that I cannot answer with certainty for you.. I've never replaced one. My guess is they are screw on.

[@aholegunner]

@@GarageBuiltHondas I appreciate your response, thank you. I have tried twisting/screwing off a non broken one and they wont budge. So idk if I need to put even more torque to break it loose or if it detaches a different way. I do not want to break another one. I have looked and looked online and cannot find any details on how they come off. I do not have access to the broken one since it is recessed inside the hole. I am trying to not to take the door apart an extra time just to figure out how it detaches. So imma keep looking 😄. Thank you again sir!

[@scoop4321]

On my 99 CR-V, the right front passenger door lock wouldn't function from the driver's lock switch. All three other locked worked fine. So I replaced the actuator with one I got at a junk yard, and I first tested it directly from my battery. It worked. I then tested the old one the same way, and it worked also. So I hooked up test wired with a connector I also got at the junkyard, with about 6 inches of wiring on it. I connected it to the last connector on the door (where you plug in the actuator), and I found there is power at that point going to the actuator. But apparently not enough to power the lever on it. Now I am not sure what to do to fix it.

It's automatic awd but it is sluggish on take off, the rpms are going up but it barley moves. Its throwing a P0740. I'm going to test and change the shift solenoids and see if it helps. Also the speedometer is off by 10 mph. So it might need a speed sensor not sure. The fluid is good. Just wanted to know if you have had any experience with this issue? Thanks Jon!

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I'm not familiar with that issue. But if the shift solenoids are throwing a code, then try to get that changed out and fixed asap. I bet it could be the problem. Mine is AWD and auto too, it's exactly what I wanted!

[@capster15]

Yeah I hope it's a easy fix lol! What's your plans with your crv? Mine came lowered on coilovers but it's a very rough ride probably going back to stock or find a legit lowering kit , not sure yet. But I'm interested to see what you do with it but because all your cars are clean!👍

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I only plan to perform any maintenance it needs and keep it as clean and functionally sound as possible. I might get some wheels eventually and maybe an intake and header to give it a little more power but that'll be it. It's my daily and I don't want to take away from how comfy it is.

Bro I just bought a 2001 crv

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

👍 I did too....7 months ago!!

[@Hmoob101]

Good video but you really didn’t need to take out the c clip just twist the tab to the left n rod will come lose for the other rod that attache to the door handle leave it on slide the door handle inside the door and pull everything out underneath

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Is that what you did?

[@Hmoob101]

Garage Built Hondas yea it was way easier

[@naimhaziq88]

Can we change to TAMIYA motor in that actuator ?🤭?

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

I'm sure if it fits, why not?

[@davidfarias2739]

@4:30 don’t permanently remove that ugly plastic thing. It also reduces wind noise in the car. My CRV has terrible wind noise but I made sure that plastic was tight and taped up any spots it didn’t cover and the wind noise is 90% gone.

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

👍 will do!

[@getsmarter5412]

It's called a vapor barrier, fyi.

i hate door panel jobs, always hope i don't have to do them

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Door panels I don't mind, the internals can be tricky!

[@FrenchValleyAirport]

yeah that's what I meant sorry haha. It's a good time to clean/lube the mechanisms and window tracks though

[@GarageBuiltHondas]

Very true! I vacuumed and cleaned all the dirt out of the bottom of the door, there was a small pile of it.
