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 $300-500 to replace it.
So I took my car to the shop to get something fix and lietrally a day or two later this part of the car started acting up making a buzz noise . I’m trynna figure out if maybe they did something to it
Yes, I’m stupid bullshit the car manufacturers came up with that’s designed to fucking fail and caused you problems. It’s not even needed just some bullshit they came up with like everything else.
I thought this was my trunk lock or something else went wrong in the car but I followed the sound and now I just wanted to know how to replace the thing glad it's an easy fix though and you did a really great job with the video 💚👍thanks a ton
Thank you so much! I didn't have a similar tool to pull the white wire through the hole so used some copper wire by looping the two together and pulling the copper wire bringing the white with it. Something this simple wasn't worth taking it to the dealer.
I got a question . I installed a new one & the noise was gone but after one night . I went to work the next morning and as I locked my car I hear the noise again ?? Any reason why it happens if so please let me know Thank you!
My dude! Thank you so much! Canadian over here had the latch get noisy today so I knew what it was but this shows exactly what I need to do to fix it. Thank you so much!!!
No idea how you got the lil cord through the hole, it was impossible for me to do it by myself and I was using a hook tool as well lol. I ended tying some twine around the loop and I had my mom tie a knot around the hook so I could kind of snake it through the hole from the trunk. Wasn’t able to get the rubber piece through but it still works fine regardless.
My actuator was still working but I still had problems several times during freezing weather. The part was 67$ 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.
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...
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.
@ContinentalMasters mine was about $35.80, but it may vary by model (mine is 2018 Hatch Sport). Also, when threading the rubber loop through the hole inside the molding, I used a long zip-tie to feed it through.
