Looking for a diagram or something that will show a part number for the doorlock actuator on my 2004 TL.

The doorlock actuator on the drivers door isn't operating, so I'm gonna try and replace it myself, anyone have experience messing with the door locks? dont think it should be too hard... really surprised it broke considering its a Honda.


Thanks.

damn i tried looking for it in my manual but i don't see it.

It's a common thing on 2004 TSXs and it's about a 45 minute replacement. The accuator should be pretty cheap. i think i bought it for 60 bucks from acura.

$150 is a ripoff.
Replacing teh actuator is a pretty painless DIY and the part only costs ~$19 plus shipping.

hmmm well im not paying for it cuz i bought a warranty deal thing , but im not surprised they jacked it up so high

Does anyone have pictures of the actual inside of the door where the actuator is locating? Not talking diagram, but pic of the carr with the trim panel off or whatever.

A tutorial of removing the trim panel would work too. Dont really feel like prying my panel off before knowing where all the fasteners are located and banging up the trim.

Finally getting around to doing this, and running into a bit of trouble.

What screws hold the actuator into place? I cant tell from any of the diagrams, but I believe its the 3 screws around the door latch.



Visible in that picture. And only the finest beer, for the finest car.

But wait, theres more! Those 3 screws do infact hold the actuator in place, but I am unable to remove the unit. The guide for the window is in the way, and I tried unbolting it to move it slightly out of the way, but I can feel it pressing against the bottom of the window (window is up). Def dont want to break the window.

Ideas?
