Enhance Your Honda Acura Accord's Security with the Driver Power Insight Front Left Door Lock Actuator (# 72155-SDA-A01) Review

I got this for my Accord as the old one stopped working properly. The door cannot be opened or closed with the remote control. Replaced it with this one and it worked like clockwork for almost two years. A few months ago he began to fail regularly, he had to open the door with a key on the door. Three weeks ago I tried to get in the car but it wouldn't open. Without using the key to the door. It sticks in the closed position. I had to rip open the spare key to drive the blade into the door and…

Appears to be a quality item but I will update my review if anything changes. Installation took just under an hour total and could be completed by almost anyone willing to get their hands a little dirty. Worked the first time and has since. Also, for the nerds, I tested the motor on the old one and it still worked fine. The gears seem to be the point of failure. Pro tip: take your time, you'll break something. Unhook only the lower arm attached to the actuator. No need to fiddle with the lock…

Replaced front passenger door operator on a 2005 Accord EX. Installation of the first actuator. Not "as bad" or "intimidating" as it appeared after removing the door panel. *BE CAREFUL when finally removing the door panel - during/after pushing out the plastic pins and detaching the window switch box, BEFORE pulling or attempting to remove the panel very far from the door, observe the wire connected to the inside of the door handle ( with green the plastic part that holds it in place - I broke…

This drivetrain is a perfect match for my 2006 Ridgeline. At first I couldn't unlock my doors with my remote, and then if you were going over 9mph the auto-lock feature would try to keep working when I heard clicks, but the lock wouldn't actually engage. I ended up having to disable this feature until my part arrived. Before replacing the part, I checked two places; 1) Ridgeline forum 2) YouTube. The most important thing is the video and the tools for it. Impact wrench and hammer, various sizes

I was able to install this part in the rear right door of my 2004 Acura TSX. However, I had to make two changes to make it fit. First, the plastic lever that moves back and forth on this part is slightly different than the original actuator on my TSX. The original is on the right side of the attached image. I had to be very careful prying off the lever on the new actuator (breaking it in the process) and replacing it with the green piece from the original actuator. Also, in order for the new…

Exact match to the OEM part it replaces. It even had the exact same license plates and numbers. The photos show the new actuator next to the one I removed from my Honda. Obviously the dirty part is my old one. Very fast delivery and well packaged. You need this if your driver's door does not lock when you press the inside lock switch or use the key transmitter. This also fixes your alarm not being set with the key button. I installed the new actuator in under an hour, but if you don't have a…
