passenger door lock problem

[game_accord]

My passenger door won't lock or unlock itself when I press the remote.

-Is this common fault in the euro where the part is getting old and tired?
-would it be a actuator or do I need some sort of locking motor to be put in?

Sounds like the actuator has died.What year is your Euro 04?

[ms700]

72155 SDA A01, LHF door lock actuator will fix your problem id say.

Unfortunately it will also magically empty your wallet by about $165 if youre out of warranty.

u are not the only one, mine one is dead as well.

[game_accord]

yeah its an 04 euro

$165 sounds like its a genuine honda, am I able to buy a generic actuator?

Amazingly this happend to me a week ago as well. But the internal central locking button doesn't lock the passenger door for me either. Got to manually lock the door now.

[hooboy]

Mine about to happen soon.

Does anyone know if the spare part for it is the same for the wide body accord?

Cheers

New actuator for you id say.......

Are you still under warranty?

Yeah luckily still got two months on factory warranty. Got to book for my 40,000KM service today so I'll mention that to them.

Same issue on my 04 Euro but on the drivers side door.

Pressing the unlock button it tends to stick and not unlock first time (all the other doors are working as normal). Pressing it again it will usually open second time around. Getting very annoying.

From what i can tell, yes they are the same. 03 - 07 all seem to use the same actuators, CL's and widebody's.

[jeff_c]

how ironic, this is starting to happen to my euro as well, the front passenger's side lock is very slow to unlock either using the remote/interior central locking button.

I was quoted $180 by the dealer when I took my car in for service last Friday, unfortunately my car is outta warranty already

[game_accord]

Is the actuator the most likely part that is causing this problem?

I am about to spend $180 for the actuator (from Dealer) and get my local mechanic to install, the last thing it to buy it and too find out that it could be some other part in the door.

[huhjared]

yeah my 04 acutator just died on me like 2 weeks ago and i got it replaced as i just bought it 2nd off a dealer and it was replace free.. anyway they showsed me the reciept and it was a wooping $320 for it.. can believe it... honda parts are expensive..

[Rob_A]

yeah common as, saw it happen when I was in dealer land. Mum's did it under warranty. Mine has played up a few times. Waiting for it to die before I replace it

[snYpz]

Just a question, does it have to be a genuine Honda actuator?

My passenger door has died on me...:(

rofl well imagine it was a BMW or any sort of european car.....

My driver side acutator months ago. Unfortunately the warranty on the car already expired. Honda in Perth quoted me approx $320 incl installation. Since then I have been using the key to manually lock/unlock the door. Too expensive from dealer.
Anyone in Perth know of a good installer if i get the part separately and does anyone know the part number of the actuator for the driver's side?

A good aftermarket alarm fitter should be able to help you.I can't help you as i'm from Sydney.

Tony but you can help me! :D

Im in Sydney and im after a reliable auto electrician/alarm installer to do the fix. I had an aftermarket alarm installed a few months ago but the installer isnt available so i need alternatives. So, can anyone recommend any auto electricians? =)

What area of Sydney are you from?An alarm guy would be the best IMO.

[snYpz]

^can anyone suggest any good alarm installers then? Im located in the inner west, Lidcombe/Auburn area so within 1hr drive im ok with lol

[blk05gli]

both my fronts are dead now. $180 (actuator) x 2 + $90 (install) x 2 = expensive christmas present for my euro :-|

[Chris_F]

my driver side door actuator stopped working aswell.

Luckily I purchased the extended 5 year warranty so it cost me nothing.

[Ken-f]

My drivers door wouldn't open on 3 separate occasions last week. This week its been all good tho. It just had to lock it and unlock it again to work....quite annoying. but hopefully this problem wont come back....hopefully.

[pxrnm]

Hi got same issue with central locking on the driver side. Have to unlock, lock then unlock it again to make it work.

Question is, can I just buy aftermarket actuator (master) like the one advertise by JayCar below for $11.95 or it has to be HONDA OEM actuator.

Mine just died today as well on the drivers door.
Gonna have a look at it over the Xmas break see if I can fit an aftermarket one in instead as the factory one is way too much.

Does any ones actuator make a groaning noise? Mine does occasionally and I was able to replicate this last time with the dealer. They acknowledged the problem but said they could not do anything until it actually fails.

That means it's on it's way out.

Hmmm, that's on a car that's just turned 7 months. Good thing warranty is in place.

Just noticed your car is 07 so maybe it's faulty,either way you have warranty.:thumbsup:

[eurosp]

Mine died early this year too and it is also a 04 Euro.

This sounds like a known fault. For us that the car is already out of warranty; Just wondering, should we group together and sign a patition and make a complain to Honda asking for a recall to fix this issue.

[Crapdaz]

how much to replace it by honda i think mine is on it's way out soon.

[Euro1011]

Honda (Osborne Park) quoted me $320. Too expensive so i had to put it off and use the key to unlock the door which i find quite annoying when there is central locking for the car.

They will just say it's normal wear and tear.

[by-life]

better choose to see your honda dealer to ask quote.

[eurosp]

I guess they can use that as an excuse. I just don't think it is good enough.

I have an aftermarket central locking system install in my previous car, and it has been 10 years. its still going strong.

[blk05gli]

if you think outside the square, acura dealers in canada sell the acutators for $45CAN. If you know someone who lives there, postage is $20CAN, so for $65CAN you can have the part delivered. :-)

Sign the petition against Honda Australia and their poor Actuators!

I will make sure that every signature is rubbed in the Honda executives faces.
They have a Duty of Care in insuring that this CRITICAL PART of Vehicle security is working, and they still neglect that there is anything wrong with the part! Sign with your facebook!

I would consider supporting such a petition if it was worded better and didnt have spelling mistakes...and if the signatories didnt include such names as "anonymous 7" and "fat sl*T"...no respect and credibilty will ever be given to a petition with such signatories

My bad, it was 1am!
I've fixed some of the spelling mistakes in the second revision. I know these signatures wont count, but just having a large number of people behind this will cause honda to think about this and not just push it aside.
