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...

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!

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 video . Thanks a lot

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.

My driver door don’t open AAA PUT THAT slim Jim in the window and now my door won’t open will this process help?

Great video. Would be better if it had a little more details and explanations. Would recommend though.

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?

Idk if you guys are still responding to comments but I need a little help here: I was doing a version of this repair, but for the rear driver-side door, the back left. Got most of the way through the repair, having swapped out the actuator. I reconnected the door lock cables to the door face and snapped the face back into location, but had yet to fully complete the repair. It was at this point that while moving about, the door swung shut. Neither the inside or outside handles work, and the door is now just locked shut. Is there a way to get the door open again so I can finish the repair/figure out why the handles won’t do anything? My thought is to somehow remove the door face again so I can access the door lock cables, but I dont see how I can do that from inside the car with the door shut. While this is a better situation than my door having been stuck perpetually unlocked, I’d rather have the door be fully functional. Edit: Also, the plastic thingamajig that can be seen at 1:43 pretty much exploded during the repair, do I need to replace that or does it even really matter?

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?

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?

​@@akinsojia3209 The door lock actuator and Heater core / AC compressor do not communicate at all. This isn't your problem

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 changed the actuator and still won't lock with the beeper. Can it be the cable or lock switch is messed up?

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).

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

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.

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
