Thank you. Took about 20 minutes based on your vid. Thanks again for the post up.
moofdogg mike - Your welcome. I’m glad the video was helpful, that’s exactly why I did it.
Outstanding DIY video! Easy to follow and crystal-clear. Gave me the confidence to tackle and successfully complete the project. Great service to the Ridgeline community. Thanks very much!
Thank you for the kind words. Unfortunately, my Ridgeline met with the fate of a texting driver and got totaled.
Just did this and it took me about 25-30 minutes. Thanks for the video to show me the way.
I’m happy it helped out. I appreciate the kind words.
Tom I just installed my handle with your instructions. Worked perfect. I never got instructions except printing them online and it was not needed. One thing that sped things up is the camera connector to the handle can be disconnected by pressing on the connector release clip on the top left side and pull the connector to the left. The camera connector attaches to the tailgate handle with a connector that is released on the bottom of the right side, press up and it slides off to the right. No need to remove the fastener attached to the tailgate. Hope this helps and I did this pretty quickly for me like 40 minutes or so going step by step with your video. It is good enough to not need instructions as I just proved that. Thanks.....
Dude, you rock! Thank you, that was incredibly easy to do! I knocked out in about half an hour.
You are very welcome! Getting great comments like this is one of the reasons I enjoy posting videos.
Great video, very informative. Thank you!
Thank you I’m very glad to hear that it helped you out.
Thanks for the great video. Just completed the install this past weekend with the help of you video. Appears I am one of many! Very nice of you to make this available to help others.
Clifton Brown - Awesome, very glad it helped you out. I appreciate you letting me know.
Tom thanks. Going out to install mine in a 2019. I installed the Pop and Lock in my 2017 and it worked just fine. Good job....
Nice video. I just bought the kit at the dealership, cost me $115. With the help of your video saves me another 100. Thanks
M J - Cool! Happy it helped. Thx for letting me know.
Great video. I have the Retrax tonneau, now this OEM lock will complete the security of the bed. Like many of Ridgeline owners, why did Honda not include this lock is ridiculously short sighted... By the way, I’ll be installing mine in 85 degree Florida weather - LOL
Thank You
Just purchased one for $115+ spent $45 recoding cylinder so it will work with my Ridgeline key. After recoding with local key guy both now keys are working, the Ridgeline and the (2) provided with lock so I do not have to mess with it anymore in the future. Just installed it myself in around 30 min. watching this video. Thank you for posting much helpful video, saved significand $$$$$.
PolUSA T - Awesome! I’m really happy my video helped. Thx for sharing your success.
Awesome video. I was apprehensive taking on this project but I will now do this. Many thanks
Awesome! Just installed on my 2017!
Thanks for taking the time to video it. Appreciate the efforts.
g7003041 - Your welcome! As much as I learn on YT & forum groups, I love to be able to give back.
Thanks for a well documented line by line video.. Great work and easy to follow. install went very well. Another Thumbs Up for this one!!
Your so welcome. Glad the install went well. Thank you for sharing your success with me.
Very informative and helpful. It helped me understand and work through the little issues that arise when performing the install. Many thanks!
Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to let me know it is helpful for you. For me, this is part of what makes CZcams really cool.
I can’t thank you enough for this video. I didn’t even look at the instructions at all!
Bryan Fary - Thank you! You made my day.
Thanks for a great video! I installed my lock using your vid in place of the instructions. Easy.
James Rinaldi - That’s great! This is the reason I put the video up. Thanks for letting me know it worked out well for you.
Splendidly done video, much appreciated!
Always Learning - Thank you!
Thank you! I was going to try and figure this out alone. Very informative.
Theo Pax - I’m so glad this video helped you. This is why I love CZcams. I learn so much myself, I like that I can give back.
Timed myself, 29 min 57 sec. Thanks to you! Was able to do the whole thing from memory after watching this. One minor note:. The little white plastic tailgate clips come out much easier if you rotate them 45 degrees (so that the tabs line up with the corners of the square cutouts). Thanks!
Mr. MT Baldy - Very cool! Thx for the tip, hopefully others will read it and it help them out.
Good for you. This is not an easy install unless you have all the right tools ( like a magnetic socket so you don't drop bolts into the tailgate. I had Honda do it and they struggled. Got it so wrong that when I lifted the upper handle it would only engage the latch sporadically and with no definitive break point. They did it wrong and probably used the old linkage which was not long enough. Took the 3 times to get it right. The reason more trucks do not have this dual tailgate is because the whole mechanism is far more complex. There are those that have had issues with the OEM upper handle.
Bottom line this install is not that easy unless you are at least an 8 on a 10 scale mechanically speaking and have all the right tools.
Found this out as well. Made it SO easier to put the cap back on.
Dealership wants $500 to install.... I’ll install it myself with the help of your video..thank you...
Maclloyd Martinez - You are welcome. Helping others out was the main reason I made the video. I am not a professional CZcamsr, just a guy enjoying being a part of this helpful community.
Maclloyd Martinez just received a email from Honda Canada and the offer is 180$ installed.
Good job Tom! You made it look easy.
It really is easy to do! Glad you liked it.
Thanks ! Extremely helpful video. I am about to attempt this job on my '19 Ridgeline RTL-E
Gerald Frieberg - Your welcome! You will have no problem doing it.
Great video! The only problem I had was that I dropped one of the cylinder rod clips (the LAST one I had to attach) into the tailgate. I took me about 15 minutes to retrieve it. Even with that I was still finished in under an hour. THANKS!
Dave Ross - I’m glad it helped you out. Sounds like you had a visit from Murphy. I know him all to well.
A Great job, cheers for posting,
any chance you could please post the OEM part numbers for the upgrade ?

PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK THEM. i PULLED THEM OFF A RIDGELINE FORUM WHERE I LEARNED ABOUT THE LOCK KIT.
I installed this kit on 2018 Ridgeline, noted lock/unlock position is reversed from user manual
Nice Video! In the directions provided by Honda, they want you to disconnect the negative batter post. Is that not necessary?
Glad you liked it! I won't tell you not to disconnect the battery, but every set of instructions from Honda always starts with disconnect the battery. Your call, I did not.
Didn't see the you test out the side opening of the tailgate in the video. Was that working okay?
lasunga - Sorry I did forget to show that, but it works perfectly! I open my tailgate that way 10 times a day for work.
@@tomsdreamshopworx appreciate the reply! Definitely gonna be my next upgrade.
does this lock works with key alone? or is there a lock that also works for the fob key of the car?
James Laqui - This oem Honda lock only works with the key, not with the fob. It comes with its own key but if you want you can have the cylinder rekeyed before you install it to match the key for your truck. There is an aftermarket company called pop n lock that offers one that you can wire into your system to work with the fob. It gets mixed reviews on it’s reliability.
Just bought a new one myself found out the tail gate don’t lock bull.
This should be standard equipment as well as the door checker. Should be installed by honda before purchase. Notice they will be standard on 2020 models.
john kim - Yup, I couldn’t agree more. Thanks for watching!
This is a great video !! could you tell me where can I get these parts ( lock kit ) ? Please
Ramon Perez Please look at my reply’s below. I list the part numbers in them. I ordered them online from a oem Honda parts warehouse.
Mine's a 2017 RTL-T, so all Ridgelines come without this lock regardless of the trim level? Even the Black Edition doesn't have it?
monzx3 - Correct. No trim level from 2017 thru 2019 comes with it.
@@tomsdreamshopworx Yeah, for a 40K vehicle I find that very irritating, even though I love everything else about it.
What is the name of that tool that you used to pry the camera wire harness mech from the tailgate? (Great video btw)
Briley Gabriel - lots different brands, but it looks basically like this. My handle is shorter and it’s from snap on so cost a whole lot more than that but I’ve had it for 40 years. www.amazon.com/dp/B0734VKNYK/ref=cm_sw_r_oth_api_i_ZhBiFbRE0BECT
@@tomsdreamshopworx Thanks!
Do you know if installing this myself would void any warranty? Have a new 2019.
I am almost certain it will not void warranty.
Does this also lock the tailgate from opening sideways?
violaguy5 - Yes it does.
I did this as well but 2 weeks later the swing latch stopped working. Not sure what is wrong now? but others have said the same thing
Sorry, you had a problem. While I had the truck, I had no issues.
Where did you get the printed destructions? Thanks! VW
www.collegehillshonda.com/instructions/ridgeline/2019/tailgatelock.pdf The first half is about undoing the battery cable. I did not unhook mine.
Thanks Brother! Waiting on the parts for the tailgate and the cover.
Can this be keyed to the current door keys?
A locksmith who works on automotive, keys should be able to do it.
Is it possible to integrate this with the power locks? Thanks.
po gi - Yes and No. With the OEM Honda lock I used, I have not seen anyone figure out how to do it yet. There Is a aftermarket kit by “Pop-N-Lock” that offers a kit that will work with the remote. It has mixed reviews on reliability. There are several CZcams videos out on it. Good luck either way.
My problem is my tailgate actually has a lock cylinder, I just don’t have a key
does it lock the other side opening of the trunk as well?
Nikki Tangtiphongkul - Yes, The tailgate locks both up and down and side opening.
@@tomsdreamshopworx very useful info thank you.
What about when you open the tailgate out sideways
Yes it works perfect sideways. Sorry I forgot to show it.
@@booksbydennissanchez4970 I wish I could help. I had no problems with mine. It just worked from the start. Unfortunately my ridge was totaled back in May of 2020 and I no longer have it. I was part of a good Ridgeline forum, maybe they can help you out. Good luck my friend.
Can you provide a link to the specific lock that this was?
Nick Bollinger - look at one of my earlier responses in the comments I posted all the part numbers there.
Thanks! @@tomsdreamshopworx
you do not need to remove the white clips.
I'm confused. How can it be an OEM lock if the trucks don't come with a lock? Is it a Honda option? How do you get it to match the trucks key?
JRS1121960 - It is designed, made and sold by Honda. The Honda dealer can sell and install it for you. It comes with a lock and 2 keys. If you want to, you can have it rekeyed to your car. I choose not to.
@@tomsdreamshopworx Why is it apparently never installed in new trucks?
JRS1121960 - Your guess is as good as mine. I learned about this on the Ridgeline owners club forum online.
JRS 1121960 - go to local key guy (Locksmith) or other who does car keys with the cylinder and your Ridgeline key to have it recoded. I did my that way and now both keys work, The Ridgeline and the ones (2) provided with lock. Recoding cost me $45 . good luck.
you have to purchase a new handle assembly. It has two holes. One for the camera and one for the lock. The handle does not come a lock. I purchased from Colonial Honda in Massachusettes. They have a parts internet site that shows many Honda accessories, etc. Between the two it cost me close to $100. I elected to take the lock cylinder to a locksmith to get it keyed to work with the keys in the two FOBs. Another $54. I had no directions. My only resource was Tom's great video. Instead of 45 mins, it took me close to 3 hrs. I did run into a few little problems. The locksmith must have removed the tab on the lock and replaced it in a position that was 180 degrees out. I corrected. The white clips that clip onto the top of the door molding really need to be removed and placed into the molding. Mine didn't break but I tried to reassemble by leaving them on the gate. Bad move. The honda website is www.hondapartswholesaledirect.com I don't have the part numbers handy but you can call to ask. I also bought the Tonneau cover from them. I thought the product was reasonably priced.
Honda stupid sale a dam truck with no trunk lock
the trunk locks, the tailgate does not
@@JJbones88 right!! both should lock..we had to buy it from dealer
Good video but no one cares about your publicly available license plate number 🤷♂️
