Be careful guys I broke the little plastic tab, now I have to remove the whole latch

Great video, helped me out a lot. Not too many videos out there on how to do this with a 7th gen sedan front door. The back doors are a breeze, wish they would have made the front doors the same.

Just used this today on my 2003. Great video very helpful.

Is the 2 door different? Mines nothing like this

Awesome short and sweet video wish this guy should be famous

If you put the door in the lock position, that little green tab will move out from under the piece of metal, making it a lot easier to remove and replace.

It would be good if you did a video of how to determine if that existing actuator was not working. I have a Civic EU8 4Dr with key only power lock and both front and rear passenger door ( right side ) don't lock or unlock ( when you use the key in driver's side ) Both other doors and boot ( hatch ) lock and unlock fine. I'm not a technician so would like to see the easiest way to find out where the issue is.

Did Mr Honda fix this problem yet ??

How about you put the generation in the title

Super

Just replaced mine. Fairly easy with your video. I used a mirror to help see which made it much easier. Thank you so much, saved me $100's of dollars!

My problem is as follows: when i try to open the car with the remote only the trunk lock works. Front left almost works, while front right does nothing. Is this the cause?

Good diy video. My drive side power lock stopped working and I removed the door panel to troubleshoot. Motor is good but I hear the actuator making noises so that’s the problem. Seems like a real pain to get my hand in there but now I see all I have to do is remove that rail. Thanks!

super helpful! how to change the actuator in 3:28 min. this is very close to my 2005 civic sedan as well. thank you for the video.

This is the only vid you need to watch. The 30 seconds to move the window guide is worth 45 minutes. That was brilliant. Excellent video. Thanks!!

thank you so much

thank you very much for this video it really helped me to get the confidence in me to do it ! And it helped to do the job also, for sure :P

How much did the sound may work How many sf did u use

"Boom it's gone".....where did it go =(

I just got done finishing the job... This door is a BITCH compared to the other doors (rear door on the sedan version are easy). You need your phone to be able to see where the screws are and get a GOOD LIGHT. God damn fuck this door, putting the damn door panel back on was a bitch took forever.

Thanks for the good tutorial.

Yes, this was helpful, mostly because I would not have tried if this video wasn't here, BUT... this was not easy. It is much easier to stick a camera into the door cavity than to stick your head in there, so all the details are hard to see. Many tricky parts glossed over by this video. So this video is basically a macho "yeah man, it was easy!" boast, but really, people could use a little more help... yeah, I figured it out in the end, but be ready to spend like 3 hours not 10 minutes...

I have Honda Civic 2005 model. My drive side front door is working with the Keys but doesn't work with remote. All the other doors are working perfectly fine. Do you recon it is the same issue ?

Would these steps also work for a 2000 Honda Civic ex?

in my case, only work one, change the bad lock actuator or change the two, what do you suggest?

Thanks. Very good pictures and great instructions.

could this be the reason why i cant lock or unlock the doors with the switch???????

What if my key doesn't go all the way in? I can't open it with my key.

this video saved my ass. and it's gone

When my car is on the lock unlock work using the interior switch on the door. However when car is off it won't lock with the switch. Only locks using the key in the key hole. Do you think it's the actuator?

used (again) for a 2002 si. thanks!

I used your instructions to replace actuator on front passenger door on 2001 Civic LX. Hardly any differences in the instructions. The only hitch i had was the head of one of the screws holding the actuator on stripped out. So by removing the three screws holding the door latch i was able to get better access to the old actuator and drill numerous small holes in the plastic housing surrounding the stripped screw. Then i broke the housing exposing the shaft of the stripped screw, and with a small pair of vise grips, grab the shaft of the screw and turn it until it came out, Necessity is the mother...... Thanks so much for taking the trouble to do this. It saved me $$.

Still looks hard ha ha!

Nice, thank you

Thanks homie

Thank you! Don't ever take this down!

Thank you.

This was very well put together.

I like the part where you said "It's gone."

Worked great. Thanks. Note that you need to put the door in the locked position to install the actuator lever. It will expose the post making it easier. And, The plastic factory actuator cover does not fit all aftermarket actuator assembly. So I just chucked it.

ITS GONE

thanks for the video, better saves me $$$

Thank you so much! BTW the steps are same for the passenger door also.

I am also having problems with my door lock actuator. I replaced the window regulator and when I put everything back together my door wouldn't lock and unlock. I had noticed it would barely move before so I guess it just went out. I have pulled the actuator out completely but I noticed I can't pull or push the rod up or down unless I also pull on the door handle. Is this normal? My key locks and unlocks the car fine but I would have thought that with the actuator out I would be able to lock and unlock it with the rod that sticks up

I bookmarked your video because I'm about to do mine on the passenger side as soon as I get my actuator in. Excellent walk through on the procedure. Even though I have just an LX I got the idea of what to do.

yes your showing how to change it. But your car door is open, my is not.

Thanks for this video. Really helpful!

Thank you for the video. Mechanic tried to charge me $200 and said it would take almost 2 hours. I did this is 20 minutes and spent $30.

thanks a lot

This video walked me through the process on my 2005 civic ex special edition in case anyone is wondering about model years!
