Review on Dorman 746 362 Acura Honda Actuator by Jason Marquez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Don't waste your time

On a positive note, I've become an expert at disassembling Odyssey doors. This actuator lasted about 3 months as did other customer parts. Failure mode - spring. It slips out of the latch and when it does the whole mechanism gets stuck. You can't even lock the door manually. The first time it happened on Sunday evening. Unable to easily purchase a replacement, I took this one apart and reinstalled the spring. That gave me 2 more months. At this point I went to a Honda dealership and bought a replacement OEM actuator. I wasn't thrilled that the original actuator failed after 8 years, but that's a lot longer than Dorman's.

Pros
  • Great Design
Cons
  • Volume
