Honda Fit rear hatch stuck- Easy free FIX!! 

Thank You for this video, without knowing pushing that triangle I wouldn't have known how to open the stuck door.

What you did was take up the slack between the locked and unlocked position of the actuator. If the locking mechanism is working, and the cable is in good same (not stretched/damaged) the proper fix would be at the lever/handle. Take the handle out by removing the 2 10mm nuts, slide the handle back enough to get to the hinge and spring on the back, clean and lube it before putting it back. It should now be freely operable and will return itself upon release.

This was awesome. We followed what you did and it worked like a charm!

You are an absolute genius! Thanks for posting!

Thanks for showing how the latch works!

This work perfect thank you so much I even use the same color

Excellent fix,, thanks

Thanks for the informative video.

The thing to note is you won't be able to lock the hatch with the pin inserted.

I have a 2018 Fit. It started sticking a few weeks after I purchased the car new. The Honda dealer keeps telling me there is no issue with the latch. I discovered all they did was spray a mess of lubrication up into the latch. I now have to lubricate the latch within every 2 weeks. A quick follow up on this issue. I remove the latch and cleaned it up making the metal look close to new. I then coated the parts with the silver brake grease. I decided to try this because this grease does not run and is quite resistant to salt and water. It has been a while now and the latch still works nicely.

Someone smashed into my Honda Fit and my hatchback shuts, but the door light warning light stays on in my dash. Is there any ideas to get the light from staying on?

Спасибо. Помогло.

Hiw do you get the panel off when the door won't open??

you can also get the part for $40 bucks on ebay and just replace the latch.

Thank you!! What year is your Fit?

I just bought a ep3 and had this exact issue thank you so much for showing me this I tried for a week to get it open

But does it Lock?

What if the door is closed and doesn’t open at all. How can you get it to open?

It's kind of fix but thanks. To Honda: this is an absurd design flaw, so easy to fix on their side, and it's infuriating that they dont do it.

My Honda fit is 2011 and lock is different.

i'm so dissy from watching this video
