I've had to replace this twice now. A little trick I did to make it even easier/faster is to just bend a wire coat hanger, make a hook at one end. Shove that through the the trunk side of the hole, hook the loop onto the coat hanger hook and pull it right through. This job is already easy, but that just makes it even easier/faster. Great vid!
i bought it from walmart and shipping was free..total was 35$ and it took some 10 days to receive it.. thanks for the video.. it helped me to install the actuator...
I thought this was my trunk lock or something else went wrong in the car but I followed the sound and now I just wanted to know how to replace the thing glad it's an easy fix though and you did a really great job with the video 💚👍thanks a ton
Thank you so much! I didn't have a similar tool to pull the white wire through the hole so used some copper wire by looping the two together and pulling the copper wire bringing the white with it. Something this simple wasn't worth taking it to the dealer.
As with everyone who commented here, you're AWESOME for sharing the video. Where I'm at, the part is $82 plus tax. I don't even want to know how much the dealer would charge to install and I have no intention of finding out. Thanks bud!!!
My dude! Thank you so much! Canadian over here had the latch get noisy today so I knew what it was but this shows exactly what I need to do to fix it. Thank you so much!!!
Thanks for the video bro. My daughters 2017 has that exact problem and I have the part in hand and will proceed to replace it. Wish me luck. Heard the repair shops are charging $300-500 to replace it.
Super helpful video! just changed mine 10 minutes ago with the help of this video! I got mine from Honda Auto Parts Warehouse, but like he said, definitely shop around for the best prices.
@ContinentalMasters mine was about $35.80, but it may vary by model (mine is 2018 Hatch Sport). Also, when threading the rubber loop through the hole inside the molding, I used a long zip-tie to feed it through.
Mine doesn't want to latch and I took it to a shop ... they said it would be $215 for ordering the part and labor 😭 ... thank you for the video! I really hope this fixes my problem
My actuator was still working but I still had problems several times during freezing weather. The part was 67$ CAD at my local Honda dealer and the job took me about 10 min to complete. I taped a small rigid electrical cable to the release cable on the new part and fished it through the hole in the trunk and I put the grommet in place.
Youre a life saver dude. But i already took it to dealer and they will do it themself. At the very least i already know how it is and how to fix it thanks to you
I want to thank you for saving me from the dealership raping me... they wanted $47 for the actuator & $200 to install... I told them they were nuts & I’d do it myself. I don’t mind a place making profit but $200 to just have thumbs & a flathead screwdriver is nuts.
No idea how you got the lil cord through the hole, it was impossible for me to do it by myself and I was using a hook tool as well lol. I ended tying some twine around the loop and I had my mom tie a knot around the hook so I could kind of snake it through the hole from the trunk. Wasn’t able to get the rubber piece through but it still works fine regardless.
@@p-rod88 Lol, same here, it is embarrassing, people look at me weird, like I do it on purpose or something. I will look into buying the part and do it my self. a while back, someone drove to close and broke my driver side mirror, too much money to fix at dealer, so I bought the parts and after a couple of TH-cam videos, went and did it and works fine. Stay safe, have a great Sunday.
I have the same problem with my 2016 Honda Civic. It’s so loud and embarrassing. And plus my car locks when it wants to or when I stop and then go it’ll lock and make that loud noise everytime

I got a question . I installed a new one & the noise was gone but after one night . I went to work the next morning and as I locked my car I hear the noise again ?? Any reason why it happens if so please let me know Thank you!
So I took my car to the shop to get something fix and lietrally a day or two later this part of the car started acting up making a buzz noise . I’m trynna figure out if maybe they did something to it
Hello I was watching your video. I had a few questions. How did you pop the side clips back on. And what size length is the pick tool you used or where to purchase them? Thank you
I'm trying to find the actuator for my 2018 Civic Si coupe, some websites say the part number in this videos description 74700-TGG-A02 is for my car, but other websites say this part number will not work in my car, and that I should instead buy 74700-TBA-A02. Anyone know which I need for the 2-door 2018 Si?

Thanks for the video man !! This part cost me a total of $53.00 with shipping.. Took me 20 mins to install and saved hundreds of dollars
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. It means a lot to me and I’m sure to others as well. Huge help!

Thanks for being so detailed with your explanation. Dealer quoted me $240 plus tax to fix it. Your video was very helpful 👍
Thank you so much! I didn't have a similar tool to pull the white wire through the hole so used some copper wire by looping the two together and pulling the copper wire bringing the white with it. Something this simple wasn't worth taking it to the dealer.
Glad I could help! And that's a smart idea!
Thank you! I was quoted $160 by a Honda dealership to get it fixed and I can’t do that. I appreciate you!
You're very kind. Glad to help!

So glad I found this video.... mine just stopped unlocking and I couldnt' get into my fuel door to fill my tank.

Did it fix
Appreciate the video. Had to replace my gf actuator on her 2016. This was clutch. 🤝🏻
Thanks, that was super helpful. I was able to do it myself and save $200.
@@BillMann-h7i glad it helped!
Good video. I found it easier to pull the cable using a zip tie. Also a good idea to put some silicon crease on the rubber grommet.

I taped a small rigid electrical cable to the release cable on the new part and fished it through the hole in the trunk and I put the grommet in place.
thank you for this! been dealing with this noise forever!
You're welcome!
Drop a like on the video to help others see it!
Thanks. Just repaired a civic sold at our Toyota dealership with your help. Our used car team lead hadn't done one yet.
Youre a life saver dude. But i already took it to dealer and they will do it themself. At the very least i already know how it is and how to fix it thanks to you
Mine just started making that same noise today...I'll see if I can fix it this weekend...thanks for the helpful video.
Thank you! Hope you get it fixed!
You just saved me $350! Thank you so much! Had the same issue and now is fixed 👍🏼
Is that how much honda is charging 😳
@@XpapricaX indeed
My man save me thanks !!!! Again for this video !
Thank you! We used this video to replace mine just now. 👍👍
Thanks for saving me a few hundred bucks that a stealership would’ve charged lol 😂
Yo that’s weird u made this vid 5days ago, mine just went out today and this is the only video on how to do it lol
Please let us know if this helps!
Thank soo much sir, you video helped me fix mine
Thank you so much for this helpful video!!!! Is this the correct piece for all civic models? Mine is also 2017 but just the basic one not type r
Yes. The part number says it will fit all 5 door body styles.(hatchbacks)
Thanks so much for the video! I just googled the part and it says it’s discontinued…do you know if the new part could be 74700-TBA-A02?
Yes that will work.
this man is a saint

For some reason I was about to start doing the Hokey Pokey with all that left hand right hand 😅
Just used this video to replace mine! Thank you so much!
Absolute legend

wondering if u know why it does not oock anymore same thing happened to me:/
Very useful video
My fking car made a loud as noise that sounded expensive. I'm glad it was just this looool
Thanks for the video!
Thanks man mine just went out.

2020 Honda Civic started doing this after I took it to do an oil change. Gas door was buzzing
Hello! Whats the name of that tool? I have this same problem
Thanks for the great video!
As a commenter suggested, use a zip tie. Or to pop it out use a flat head screwdriver
@@typerledsfk8190 we used a zip tie, fixed this on my honda the other day by watching your video. Thanks!
When switching from Parking to Drive or Reverse, does it have to make the sound or sound like it is 'locked'?
Oh my goddddd I have to do this frickkkkkk😭😭😭
I have the same problem with my 2016 Honda Civic. It’s so loud and embarrassing. And plus my car locks when it wants to or when I stop and then go it’ll lock and make that loud noise everytime

If I'm having this problem and my gas door does not latch, could it be causing my check engine light to turn on

What helps the most for me is removing the power source. No idea hour to remove it.
I just unplugged it and no more sounds :)
Thank you honda engineers
That same part is also for the 2018 Honda Civic EX ?
Will this work a 2016 civic?
I got a question . I installed a new one & the noise was gone but after one night . I went to work the next morning and as I locked my car I hear the noise again ?? Any reason why it happens if so please let me know Thank you!
You may have received a defective unit. Return/exchange it.
Do you have the link to where you bought it?
What do you do with the white piece that went through? Just hangs?
Sorry, this actuator have a fuse?
That doesn’t explain why does it always make noise but thank you
So I took my car to the shop to get something fix and lietrally a day or two later this part of the car started acting up making a buzz noise . I’m trynna figure out if maybe they did something to it
Probably not. It's a bad defective unit.
@@typerledsfk8190 took me 20 mnts to fix it thanks bro
Hey,
Would this work for my 2016 Honda Civic EX-T?
Does this replacement video also apply to a 2016 Honda Civic ex-t model?
Most likely. The part number may be different.
Do you know what to do when the noise keeps going after replacing it with a new actuator?
Could be a defective actuator.
@@typerledsfk8190 so should i return the actuator and ask for a new one?
Hello I was watching your video. I had a few questions. How did you pop the side clips back on. And what size length is the pick tool you used or where to purchase them? Thank you
I was wondering the same thing but all you honestly do is push it inside and it some how goes back into place on its own.
Hey man, so how do I get the new part, do I go to the dealership and ask them to order it for me? Or will they already have it?
So, this issue means the gas tank door isn’t locking?

Did you find out which pn is right?
Havin a hard time just getting it to “pop out”
Is this the same for a 2016 civic?
Yes
will this fit a honda civic si 2018 coupe??
mine doesnt buzz but it doesnt shut properly
Where did u get that flat head from ?
It's a pry tool. Don't know the exact name of it.
@@typerledsfk8190 in ur video u don’t show how to take it off, right now I’m struggling on how to..
Just saved myself $200
Glad to help!
Would this cause the check engine light to appear?
No it won’t
Is it the same for an Si???
Possibly. Check the part number and see if it fits the Si.
Just checked it’s different. I’m tired of hearing that noise on my car lol. When going out to places that noise scares people lol.
Haha same! The replacment may be the same process since the 10th gens are very similar.
@@JoseTorres-xj7oc the only difference is the trunk release string is too short but it works
@donald tran I fixed mine the other day. Super easy. Thanx for the info tho man.
Mind was disconnected, now my gas door will close when I push it back in. Does anyone have the same problem?
I bought on Amazon and it was only good for 2 weeks . Then back to annoying farting sounds .
Return it and get another one. I'm sure it was a defective unit.
Rt now this part was unavailable in some dealerships. So I just unplugged the wire inside. Problem solved
Does it still click into place like regular with this method just does not Lock correct?
@@kylevanderheide451 yup. I have no problem so far. But I have the parts though rt now. Doesn’t have time to change it.
Unneeded crap
If I were to go like rockauto , what piece would I buy?
