Honda Accord Door Lock Actuator Replacement, Honda Accord Door Cable Replacement, and Honda Accord Door Latch Assembly Replacement, 2004 Honda Accord (2003-2007 Similar). In this video I show how to replace a door lock actuator on a Honda Accord. I also show how to replace the door cable and door latch assembly too. Door lock actuators going bad and not working is a very common issue on Hondas. This is a good DIY job that can save you some money. The exact vehicle in this video is a 2004 Honda Accord EX 2.4L Sedan. 2003-2007 Honda Accords and 2004-2008 Acura TSXs should be similar. Enjoy!

Daughter's 2005 Accord had bad actuators on both front doors. I followed the instructions provided in this video to replace both actuators. Instructions were spot on and the door locks now work. Super thankful for your time in making this detailed how to video. I even bit the bullet and bought a six piece set of Vessel screwdrivers. I don't think I could have removed the door latch screws undamaged without that #3 JIS screwdriver. Really enjoy all your vids, but this was the highlight of a successful DIY repair!

@frankwhite555 10 месяцев назад

Ok so when I put my key in the hole the key doesn't even turn. When I press the lock from the inside it makes a sound but it doesn't lock. My mechanic said its the lock actuator and I just hope he's right.are these issues you had with the lock?

@Fiat-Domine 10 месяцев назад

@@frankwhite555 Not the same. On my daughter's car the key would lock and unlock the door. The switch wouldn't lock or unlock the front doors, but I could manually lock or unlock the driver door and it would activate the rear doors, but not the passenger front. They all work now, but I still have an issue with the actuators all activating while driving with the doors locked. As if they are all trying to lock even though they are already locked. I'm glad had the door latch cables on hand as BigDog recommended. I broke mine on both doors despite trying to be super careful.

@nic2097 Год назад

Huge thanks, finally I can use my remote lock and unlock. One tip for 28:38 if you're having trouble with that metal clip, like i did, use some pliers (with one end on the metal piece and the other on the plastic) in a way so that when you squeeze it, that forces the plastic to come off. Instead of fumbling with a screw driver and almost breaking the plastic like I nearly did. Other than that, this was a fairly simple fix thanks to you and I'm very happy I didn't have to spend $70 on having someone else do it

@niemand000 4 месяца назад

Don't remove the door handle rod from the top @ 21:46; too much risk breaking the door handle. Instead, remove the rod from the latch/lock assembly where the rod is held in by the black plastic keeper clip to the curved metal travel guide visible @ 21:04 - 21:05. For the orientation shown in this video for the driver-side front door, rotate that black clip counterclockwise to release it from that rod. Then the rod can be pulled out and released from the assembly. This is an excellent, very detailed video.

@prostreetpetess Год назад

This video is incredibly informative. Thank you for making it. I have a question on a 2003 Honda accord. The drivers side door won’t lock either via lock button on door or by key on outside of door. All the other doors lock so I don’t think it’s electrical. I followed these directions just short of removing the whole assembly. I’m seeing that the little lock tab that goes up or down when locked or unlocked does not move. If I use the key on the outside of the car the little tab does not go down or up. If I turn the key on the outside of the door to the lock position the tab tries to go down but doesn’t make it, however if I hold the key in the cylinder in fully lock position, the door handle does not open the door. So basically there’s nothing I can do to get that little lock tab at the end of the cable which signals the door is locked or unlocked to go down. Even taking the door apart I cannot force that tab down into its housing. All the other doors and locks work fine. Any ideas? Thank you for your time and consideration

@michailstrouboulis1204 2 года назад

Excellent step-by-step instructions to disassemble and reassemble the actuator, including the specialty tools to use (e.g. Vessel JIT screwdrivers). One hint: don't allow the door to close on you between screwing on the door latch (38:16) and connecting the wire rods to the door handle. That happened to me on reassembly (it can happen on disassembly too) and it doubled the time it took me to complete the work because I had to secure the thicker rod (with the barb) to the door handle from inside the car cabin and have a helper pull on the door handle from the outside to open the door.

@jimevans5956 3 года назад

Terrific instructions - super clear and very helpful. That door handle rod (at about 22:00) gave me a real fight and would not come loose - I finally got it to surrender by disconnecting it at the bottom end on the actuator, and I found that to be quite easy. In the end, a successful repair. Thank you for posting your video - I’m a subscriber now!

@5722291 3 года назад

I enjoyed part one ☝️ I’m not good with wiring schematics but your explanation made sense. From what I understand power for door locks and windows goes threw the master window switch assembly. I’m having trouble with my locks and windows. My trouble shooting switch at each door for windows works but not always at master switches. So that tells me it needs replaced. I can also run drivers window with key on or off at any time so it must have a short. Before I replace the lock actuator I’m going to start with the window switch. I’m working on a 2003 Honda CR-V

@No_Transitory 2 года назад

I see all these videos on how to replace these lock actuators.. but nothing on how to actually open the door if the door is in the lock position and the lock actuator is broke so the door won’t unlock… once I figure this out I’ll definitely have to post on how to open a locked door that cannot be unlocked or opened from the inside/outside

@BigDog50001 2 года назад

It typically involves breaking things, like the door panel to gain access. Before breaking things, I try to bang on the inner door panel or on the outside near door handle with my hand (where I won't ding or damage the door) while pressing the unlock button multiple times (I also try pulling up/wiggling the door lock knob instead of banging on the panel too). What I am trying to do is get the lock actuator to work one last time and unlock the door without doing any damage (banging or shocking an electrical motor like a door lock actuator can cause it to work again). Sometimes this trick can work and if it does I would open the door immediately and get it fixed right away (don't close it or try to lock it again without at least removing inner door panel).

Getting ready to do this surgery on the passenger side of 2005 Acura TSX which I think is the same as the accord. Absolutely the best video available on RU-vid to guide me. Your descriptive detail and excellent camera work is extremely helpful. Was thinking of bailing on this job but your video has made me determined. I started by attempting to remove the 3 exterior main screws of the actuator and ended up having to use an extractor on one of them but at least knew that before tackling the rest of the job. You mentioned that the passenger only has two rods. Any idea why? The least I can do is to subscribe!

@cjtwman 3 года назад

Just finished this on the passenger side of a Acura 2005 TSX. Worked great. A couple of adds. Remember to take out the two screws on the armrest to remove the door panel. There is also a wire for the heated mirrors to disconnect There is also only 1 rod as it does not have a key access. Also I removed the glass retainer rod . Another poster on another video had said to try to remove it from the actuator but I found it awkward to get at that way. I used a multi meter to test to see if there was voltage coming to the wiring harness when you pressed the button. Also when testing the unit before re-assembly and putting the panel on it will not lock because the door needs to be closed for that to work. You can still hear the motor turning though to know your motor is spinning. No rod retainers broke on a 15 year old vehicle but different weather environment in Calgary Canada. Kinda fussy and fights you at most steps but take your time and you should be ok.

I have a 2003 accord but where did you find the OEM door actuator

@BigDog50001 2 года назад

I usually get my OEM Honda parts either online or locally from Honda dealers. Right now some parts are hard to find due to manufacturer shortages unfortunately.

I remember doing a lock actuator on a Honda and accidentally broke one of those ears off the cable😤those ears are so fragile😏

Those which design those devices, looks like they enjoy it complicating things instead of make it simple, plus using the cheapest material plastic and to buy those parts are expensive, we as consumers are doomed.

What a screwed up design. Those engineers, too many Sake nights!

@BigDog50001 3 года назад

That is not the way I do my videos. If you want to make videos that way, go for it.

You can always disconnect the negative battery terminal! Before starting the job 🫡.

@BigDog50001 Год назад

I usually don't do that for jobs like these, I typically will do some electrical testing before and after replacement so I will need the power connected. And remember, whenever the battery is disconnected many models needs to have certain systems reset.
