Great video. I used it as a reference guide to replace the rear door actuator in a 2007 Honda Civic Si Sedan and the door handle also (in other video). I watched the videos about 2 times each and then it was pretty straightforward. I did have issues getting the lock connector cable to snap into place along the threads and the clip as there was no extra play / cabling.... It is very helpful to have an assistant helping you to hold up the door panel as you do this. Never hurts to have an extra set of hands...

Its very very good.
WARNING. if you don’t use a PH3 Phillips for those lock actuator screws, you will strip them.
Today I actually had to use a ball peen hammer (round head against the screw heads) spring-loaded impact screwdriver AND a torch to get the last actuator screw out on a 2009 CRV . I tried a PH3 bit on an impact driver gun and they still wouldn’t budge.
Great job
You did a great job explaining. Thank you
Great video . Thanks a lot

Thanks so much for the video. i found the hook-like part that attaches to the exterior handle really hard to remove! I ended up ripping it off by pulling really hard but at the same time cut my wrist because i hit a sharp part of the interior door panel. had to get 5 stitches but came back after and finished the job!
i got my parts from a car wrecker
Great job tanks
+Melvin Martinez Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Thanks a lot Idol for sharing this video, I can now start DIY for my honda civic front door problem, I hope I can made it. God Bless Idol.
what is the part number for the actuator?
14:20 Using a little bit of the butyl sealant to hold the bolt inside the socket is one of those great pro tips to avoid frustration. If you don't do it, you're going to end up fishing that stupid little bolt out of god knows where with a telescoping magnet -- several times.
+herrbrahms Thanks for the feedback!
I wonder if you can just keep the metal arm in tact when replacing
Thank you, great video. I was a hero today to my granddaughter.

What is the best way to put power locks in my car
So how would I go about replacing just the cables? The little white plastic pieces broke and now it doesn't hold onto the little white latches on the door handle.
I’m going to watch this video 3x a today until I’m confident to do it myself 😤

This is great, very detailed! How do you open the door on this car when the handles won't work?
Happened to me but luckily I kept on pushing door from inside while opening the handle and turning on/off key fob. I didnt secure the door lock cable attachment at the threaded part to the door handle unit.
nicktheoneofmany having the same issue. Did you ever figured that out?
Great video. Would be better if it had a little more details and explanations. Would recommend though.
I have the lock actulators like the ones u have in the video and I also have a keyless entry system with lock actlators

That's an awesome video! Very detailed and easy to follow instructions. Do you also have a video on how to replace the rear actuators?

thank
So I have a 2007 civic ex sedan. The fob only unlocks the drivers side which is ok. But the lock/unlock button on the driver side only works for the driver side and not the other 3 doors. The passenger side doesnt doesnt lock or unlock any door. Would I need door lock actuators to fix this for the other doors? I will say when i mess with the fuse sometimes the drivers side lock and unlock button will work for the driver rear door and then it stops. So what would be the issue? Maybe a wire? Or door lock actuators?

this looks like a job for a professional only. Theres no way i could pull that off.
Yes I though I would see if I can do it, but it doesn't look that easy. What if something goes wrong and it doesn't lock.... got to go to the mechanic with the door disassembled....
Right !

Can anyone help me I need a link to vid on rear driver actuator replacement on mk8 civic 06 plate 🙏 cant seem to find anywhere
I’ve took off my door panel to install speakers in my 8th gen civic si before but of my door won’t unlock bc the actuator and is closed then how would I do this? Lol is there a way around it?
hello, i know that this is an old video so i might not get a response. But i would like to inquire if an euro/hatchback version of the 8th gen civic (06-08, fn chassis) uses same master-cylinder/lock ? i can find any info about it on the forums

Can’t find door actuator that says it’ll fit a 2008 Honda Civic on your site...
If I get it elsewhere I can still follow this video right?
Hello I have Honda 2008 and whenever my heater is on the ac pipe keep freezing too and someone told me actuator problem do you have the same issue?
@@akinsojia3209 The door lock actuator and Heater core / AC compressor do not communicate at all. This isn't your problem
take the window track bolt off and move the track down will free it up make this job 100 times easier its a 2 piece meets by the top
If your actuator doesn't come with new cables or don't include it you will have to remove the cables from the actuator to put onto the new one. Be careful as the ends that go into the actuator are very small and fragile.
I was able to change the lock cylinder without removing the door actuator… is it really necessary to remove?
How do I remove the master window switch on a coupe?
The link to the part on the description says it doesn’t fit a 2010 Honda Civic
My door lock and the actuator are completely separate. There is no way to connect them. It seems like my actuator is different and it is not compatible with the door lock.. any suggestions?? New actuator?
I changed the actuator and still won't lock with the beeper. Can it be the cable or lock switch is messed up?
My child lock is broken, will changing out the actuator fix the problem?

Would a sign that the actuator is about to fail be that the lock/unlock sounds really slow even if it still works?

Is there a video on opening it when the lock actuator doesnt work nomore and my door is stuck closed
+pourtier Beatz We do not have a video for this repair right now, but we'll keep this request in mind for a future video! 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c
Ive got major problem... my friend closed the door with the latch in lock position.. door is stuck, i try to move the cable, i cant helppp
Me too
1A auto can it be done though if i took it to a mechanic shop
+patrick lynch If you're going from stock manual locks to power locks you will probably need a mechanic as that's a big job
Actuator is not the issue on my 2007 civic coupe door but it’s jam ..can’t open or close it’s lock up.. please help solve this issue on CZcams.. a lot people have this problem
17:35 what do you call that
I learned
+Saeed ahmed Khan Thanks for the feedback!
What do you call 3:06
OK. At least this video convinced me that this is way too involved for the average person to do (unlike the battery, air filter, or changing a bumper cover).
My Granddaughter had a seat belt caught in the left door of her 06 Civic. A friend finaly got it pried open then replaced the fouled up actuator. But the door was bent up & soon the new actuator's nylon coating on the door latch fingers got cracked & the door was jammed. I couldn't get the latch to line up proper, then it jamned so bad i had to pull the plastic side panel off exposing the door pillar, then cut out the strike plate bolts with a cutting torch to get the door open. I then did some rough body straightening work on the bent door around the latch mechanism. I refit the strike plate but this time i ground 2 nuts sort of cone shaped & soldered them onto the countersink on the top side of the strike plate so the plate could be bolted onto the door well from behind. Now, if this door ever jams shut again, I will remove the trim to get at the bolts for the strike plate. When i unscrew the bolts, the strike plate will be free of the door, and i can open it.

Good video, but one thing: you failed to show where to put the window track in relation to the actuator during the reinstall.
I feel like I am going to open it up and won’t be able to put the door back together.
Totally lost faith when he said "use a decent size screw driver". Seriously? Its a #3.

It's really dumb how you have to carefully guide the lock into a spot you can't see and are at a bad angle to reach, I enjoy replacing transmissions on front wheel drives more than this!
Why don't you state if the video is intended for technicians / mechanics or for the average Joe soap!
Hard to know if you are intending for the average person to do this or not. tbh it looks like it's all a mechanics job
its for anyone who needs to be able to do this. If you think this is the the level you need professional mechanic to do it, I would suggest taking your car to the dealership to have windshield wiper blades replaced too
Wrong video for 2005
2005 should not be included
Wrong way to remove door panel
These are fragile plastic covers
He should have used pry tool
And start praying the gaps
Then pop off cover
Bad video example
Poor treatment to people's
