Great help, gentlemen. Video allowed me to DIY repair for $15 in parts vs a repair quoted at >$400 by local mechanic and +/-$700 by Honda Dealer. Took me 2 hours, including a complete undo/redo because of a connector problem w/ one of the harness clips onto the new actuator. Second time was much faster. I would recommend reconnecting the window/lock controller and testing the new actuator while holding it in your hand, before reinstallation inside the door and replacing window rail. Keep testing the function as you work to re-assemble the parts and attach back onto door. Definitely have a couple flash lights to assist your view inside door. The hardest part was disengaging the two unfinished metal push rods. The larger rod needs a strong tug to the right (drivers door), toward the door hinge to disengage. The smaller rod, closer to the door latch-end of door, is hard to see, and needs a slight tug toward you/the interior of car to remove. Be sure to swing the small plastic clips to the disengaged position before tugging rods to remove. Installing rods back into sockets is much easier. I had to redo install a 2nd time because of a problematic white plug that dislodged from inside the power connector harness (see item at 8:00 mark in video) and stayed lodged inside the old actuator, preventing the new actuator from having a good connection with the harness, preventing proper function. Re-installing the white plug back into harness fixed the problem immediately and all finished completely functional. Lovely fix and saved real $$. Very much appreciate you both sharing your skills on your KZread channel.

Just wanted to thank you for the video. I have very little mechanical expertise. I bought an actuator on Ebay for $12 and installed it in 2 hours thanks to your video. Some of your video shots were tough to follow but your description was easy enough to follow. Trickiest part was getting the window rail to line up right. Thanks again.

You guys rule! Thanks for saving me a bundle! I was able to replace this inexpensive part this morning. I only missed positioning the door handle lever correctly before replacing the metal cover over the actuator. It was easy to correct and I'm back at 100% .

Thank YOU guys! My wife's 2010 had a cable break and this video showed me how to get in there to fix it! You guys rock! Great detail in the removal of the parts. Keep up the great work.

The lock actuator on the driver side of my 2010 started making horrible noises. I googled the problem, found your video, ordered the part from Amazon ($12.99 + tax, $14.00 total), and started the project yesterday (on a Sunday). The biggest problem was the 3 screws on the side holding the locking mechanism in place, 1 was incredibly tight and started to strip, so I ended up taking it to Honda this morning to get help with that screw, and lucky for me, a nice guy got that screw out! This afternoon I finished the project and my door lock works perfect now! I agree with a couple other folks, putting the window rail back in was a giant pain, found out had to use a little mirror and little light to see exactly how to get that piece back in. Other than that, instructions were very well done! Thanks, you saved me a ton of money I'm sure! (And for all you ladies out there.... this woman did it - so can you!!!)

Great video guys, thanks. I did this to the passenger side today on my 2008, took me just over an hour. Hardest part was putting the window rail back, had to fiddle with it a lot to get in into place at the top. Since you can't see anything, you have to use the force and feel your way! Local Honda dealer was charging $315 CAD to do this job. I bought the part on Amazon for $25 CAD (for both sides). The foam piece on the white cable was all torn so I put some electrical tape on the rough metal edge of the door to prevent the cable from getting damaged.

Thanks! used your video to replace just now in under 2 hours. Saved me a bundle over having the dealer do it.

Very helpful video - thanks for shooting and sharing this repair. I found it took less than an hour on a 2009 Odyssey Touring. Hardest part was getting the window channel back in - i used a telescoping angle mirror and a drop light and it made it much easier to align the channel with the bottom bracket/bottom of the window.

Thank you so much for this helpful video! My daughter and I were able to fix our van for $14!

Thank you! You just made it waaay easier to replace! It was “almost” a fun project with your step by step instructions!

Thanks Guys! I was able to replace the driver side actuator on my 2007 Odyssey EX with an Intermotor DLA87 in under 2 hours. My only suggestions are to only remove the left side of the Weather Lining and to use a few small pieces of Black Gorilla Tape to help hold the Lining back up....and take pictures before taking things apart so you know how they go back :)

Just used this as a guide for my 2013. It was similar but a few difference. I couldn't have done it without watching this first. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing. I was able to change it by watching your video. The hardest part for me was putting back the window track. Everything else was fine.

Thanks Auto Repair Guys ! Was able to do this job pretty easily after watching your video !

Just bought a duralast actuator. It has life time warrenty so if another goes out I'm covered. You guys really helped me alot. The only part I almost got lost was metal frame on top of actuator I almost put back with cable in wrong position. Thanks for saving me 400 dollers.

Thanks, saved me a bundle. Hardest part was the ending when reassembling the whole thing.

Awesome, just finished my 08 with your video and worked like a charm! Thanks!

I just finished completing the replacement and it was a fairly easy process, just had to be careful with all the little plastic connections. Thanks!

Thank you so much for the video. I bought the part for $15 and did it at home. Outside it cost 100 just for labor. With your video i did it at home and saved that 100. Again THANK YOU so MUCH...

This is a super helpful video. It took me around 2.5 hours to complete with this help.

You guys rock! Took about an hour (was having coffee while doing it!). I agree with the previous commenter that it would have been helpful to see you put the window rail back in. That was the hardest part. For those who are going to do this make sure the rail is seated in the base of the window before bolting. Thanks so much! You probably saved me $300!!

Dolfandad79 my window won’t roll down now. What do you mean by seated at the base of the window?

Thank you. This project is in my near future as I deal with the lock problem. Seeing what to do shows me it is a lot of work, and that having a shop do it would be expensive, but it gives me confidence that I can do it. I'll get the part ordered to have it ready.

Thank you SO much for posting this video. I was able to remove and replace the actuator successfully on our 2008 Honda Odyssey.

Thank you for the great video, took me about an hour to change the door actuator and put everything back together.

Thank you guys! seeing your video I can able to replace Actuator in my honda odyssey 2008. It took time but gone through all hurdles and finally it worked. Appreciated!

Getting the window track back was difficult for me. But everything else I found out about this was because of you guys! Thank you...and subscribed!

Auto Repair Guys...this past week the door latch on the inside stopped working! And today I had a chance to work on it. I took it apart and put it back again (again, your video was an awesome help). Upon putting everything back, I noticed there was a bit of slack in the cable you removed at 4:28 of your video. Can you tell if I unwound or started something at the wrong position?

Great Video, saved few hundreds. got the product in single digit for both the doors. I can't believe myself I did it....:-) without your video, I can't. Keep up the good work

Thanks so much for your video. I have had two different issues on my Odyssey door over time and this video helped both times

Nice job once again gentlemen. Like others, I had a little trouble getting the window rail back in but everything else was very helpful.

THANK YOU. Made life easier with your awesome video. Just changed out my actuator on my 2007 Oddy.

Thank you for the guide. Made it so I could do it. Hardest part was remembering to put things back in order... Put the window rail in before putting door panel back. Putting the handle cable back and plug the speaker in. Helpful tip. You can peak at the window rail placement through the hole where the lock cable goes. Also, don't remove the plastic lock grip like another video suggested. It is hard to get it to screw back on.

Fixed my driver side actuater using this video. Thank you guys.

Thank you so much for this video! I was able to fix it myself saving $120.

Wow. You guys are awesome. I fixed my wife's 2007 Odyssey today and she is super happy. The lock works now. Thank you so much for posting this video. =)

Very descriptive! Thanks for going through this step by step. Very helpful.

Nice work! I followed the video to replace mine also. Thanks!

Great vid! you guys sound like a couple of wild and crazy guys!!!

Thanks for the video guys, video showed me everything I needed to do the job myself on a 2009. Cheers! 🍻

I love your guys videos.. they have saved me so much $$$ and time! Every time I look up a fix on my odyssey KZread brings me to your videos almost every time! Great Job!!

Auto Repair Guys ... Thank y’all for the great tutorial video! I don’t think anyone could change a door lock actuator without this incredible upload. You guys ROCK!! I subscribed and Bookmarked your website. Have a great holiday weekend 😃

Thank you for this video, you just saved me a couple hundred bucks!

Thanks for this! Saved me a lot of time by not having to figure it out as I'm doing it.

Thanks again for another great video! I'm back in the locking and unlocking business!

This was a great video! I was able to easily replace the door actuator, and i am not someone who is knowledgable about cars or car parts. It would be helpful if you could extend the video to show reassembly as well as you didn’t mention the window rail comes out of a bracket and needs to be reinstalled into this bracket. I also didn’t think about the orange wire until I had to reinstall and I didn’t have it in the correct place- it needs to go behind the window rail, which is probably obvious to many people, but not something I paid attention to until I put the window down to test out the locks and the orange wire was in the way. Those are two bits of information that might be helpful to others that I learned by trial and error. Thanks for your video! I know I saved a lot of money doing this repair myself!

Great video. Saved me couple hundred bucks. Thanks!!

Great video taking it apart there's no need to show how to put it back together at least for me this goes for the people they gave it a thumbs down this video definitely made it real easy to do instead of figuring out how to take it apart

Thanks for the video guys! Help to make the job much easier.

Great Video, lots of work getting that out.

I just replaced mine (2010 touring), and everything was easy, just follow instructions and apply some force to release those two hangers , firs u need to release the plastic lock , the big one with your hand, easy, the small one on the far back with the plastic tool or screw driver. Be careful not to break any plastic lock. The window part you need to feel where it seats on the top and push it up to engage the window and the screw in the back will just fit perfectly. Be sure you learn the position of the internal.parts before removing the metal plate from the wire plastic so you place it back in the same way so it will engage well and work fine, and yes, TEST it before placing stuff back! Both the remote and the window . Thanks a lot . Saved me a lot of money.

Super video ! Just did it ! You rock guys ! Thanks a lot ! I wouldn't imagine doing it without this tutorial !

sombrero53 what was the total cost?

Great video! Got it all fixed up! QUESTION: about a week after doing this the driver window suddenly stopped working. Before the actuator replacement it struggled to get up and down. After actuator replacement it seemed that problem was fixed as well. I attributed it to removing the window rail and cleaning it since I had it out. But now it’s just stuck closed. Doesn’t even seem to try. Could an electrical plug have come loose since I was messing with those? Or could it just be a coincidence that the motor or regulator went out just after the actuator was replaced?

Thank you guys so much great video !! Just finished really appreciate it and love the accents !!!

Great video, easy to follow. Once I put everything back the inside door handle does not work. Any tips to troubleshoot? I made sure the wire that is pulled by the handle is connected correctly. The connections inside the plate in actuator assembly are not shown well when putting the plate back. I am guessing if I missed anything there. Everything else works perfect except for inside door handle

Thanks for easy to follow instruction kind tricky to install back the frame at the window rail!

Thanks, the actuator failed few days ago driver side. It was annoying since it will not lock nor unlock the rest of door locks with remote until manually done. Bought the spare replaced it and now lock/unlock working with remote.

Thanks for this video! Good tips, good instructions much appreciated

Awesome! Thank you very much, i will try it tomorrow.

Great instructions. and i love your accent; you sound like my uncle!

Awesome video took me about 45 minutes!

Thank you! Both sides failed recently (what are the odds?) and I just finished replacing them. Your instructions helped a lot!

where did you buy the part/ i need actuators for a 2015 odyssey. and...is the part that you buy just for driver's side or can it be on either side? do i have o buy a driver side and passenger specific?

Great video! Thank you!!

Hey dudes, you are bad ass. Thanks for the help.

Muchas gracias,

Thank you guys...you rock

Do we have to remove the door handle? I watched some other clips and they all showed that we had to remove the door handle before accessing to the actuator assemble.

Thanks so much

Appreciate you Fam.

Do you guys happen to have the part number of the actuator? Just want to be sure I purchase the correct one.

Do you need to reprogram the key fob with the new acuator?

Hello guys. I was trying to remove the three screws from my ody's door lock, I made two but unfortunately one of them is really stuck and I damaged it. There is no way to take it off now. Please do you have any suggestions in this case? Thanks

Hello. I need help. Follow your instruction. First time, it did not lock. Open it, recheck, and put it back. This second time, I did not test before I close the door. Now it won't open from both inside or outside. What should I do now?

Thanks a lot :)

Ok guys I have a question. After I replaced actuator everything worked fine door unlocked and you could open the door from inside and out. I pulled out of the garage and parked. Now the door handle doesn't work on inside or outside. Doors still lock and unlock except for the door I just replaced it on. Any ideas what is wrong? Thanks

What if I do if I can't open my door?! It appears the actuator works properly as the lock knob goes up and down.

Sometimes the key fob works to unlock, but manually unlocking never works becuase it's jammed or something. Would replacing the actuator help fix the issue of key fob working only sometimes?

I did this to my 2013 and got the power locks to work, etc. Unfortunately AI never tested the actual key unlocking/locking the door. Noticed that it doesn't work. Can someone help me narrow down what to look for when I pull the panel back off?

fixed 2008 odyssey thanks

My alarm doesn’t stop ,it could this to unlock my door? Because I open by hand my key don’t work anymore

Minute 4:15 is important! Make sure you put back the latch appropriately to avoid HEADACHES at the end! Not able to open the door. I learned the hard way 😢😅. Thank you for the DIY 👍🙂.

Good video but you guys gloss over how to reinstall the cable mechanism for the interior door handle. Had to find another video to learn how to properly rest that cable.

Has anyone successfully removed the door panel with the door closed? My door will not open, therefore, I cannot even complete step 1 of removing the door panel. Any tips?

Thanks for the video. I was able to replace the part in 45 minutes because of it. Now I’m having it issue where there lock keeps trying to lock as I drive off and the alarm keep going off randomly. Any ideas of how I can get rid of this issue thanks in advance.

I had a similar situation that I fixed by replacing a switch on the door jamb. I'm not sure what the part name is, but you'll see it when you have any of your doors open and there's a black rubber switch that can be pressed on. Lift up the flap and there's a single screw or bolt to remove it. I bought one from the dealership and installed it on one of the doors and waited to see if it fixed it. When it didn't I switched it to another door til I found out the faulty switch.

I've used your video twice to replace my actuator. BUT THIS TIME - when I closed the door, the latch broke and now I can't open the door from either handle (inside or out). I did everything right, but have found out that this happens by itself sometimes, just a worn out gear. HOW DO I GET THE DOOR OPEN NOW!!!!!! I've searched High and low, and my wife doesn't like exiting the car through the back anymore. Any ideas anyone???

@@damonrockhill7533 I pried the door panel off as much as I could (after moving the seat back as far as possible and putting the steering wheel all the way up. I was then able to jam my arm in and down and spray the latch with WD-40. I let it soak overnight, and then the next day, I tried it and it opened! Was able to finish the repair after that. Hope that helps.

You should invest in a JIS screwdriver.
