The lever bar of the outside handle MUST BE HOLDED. Made in Taiwan!

Detroit Mechanic Review: I already wrote a long review and Amazon removed it! This is the quality, I put three of these, both for the front and rear passenger. They work great and come with a white outer grip clip. I stared at them flat-headed and just broke down a first front door I did. If you have other drives that aren't working, disable them so they don't damage the working ones. If your drivers are bad, disable the good ones and leave them connected. DO NOT unlock the driver's door or attempt to use or unlock the vehicle. The alarm goes off because it cannot detect the master lock actuator. Pull the negative to the battery. Reconnect the actuator, insert the key in the driver's door outside handle, reinsert the minus and turn the key to unlock to disable the alarm. You MUST disconnect the outer handle prior to the drive. Simply twist the top clip, pry with the flat head and pull at the same time and it pops out. Then place your flathead behind the white clip on the other end of the tie and pry it up. He jumps out too. Also program the vehicle's automatic locking/unlocking by following the driver's instructions by opening the door and turning the key to the ACC position and then pressing and holding the lock or unlock button to program the automatic function. If you disconnect the battery you will have to do it again. The reason is that they overload these poorly designed drives. The servo motor chosen by Honda is undersized, the size of a 90's CD player motor. So don't overdo it and let them last longer.

Pros
