Replying to: carzzz (May 19, 2009 7:20 pm)  carzzz I think the last time I did the oil change in the 2004 Accord 4 cyl, I went with 5W-20. but you had said to go w/ 5w-30 if the powertrain has expired because of the higher temparature protection. So I've been trying to stick to that. I can't remember what mileage my Accord was at when I did the last oil change but looking at the date of my post, I think it was close to memorial day. So hopefully the oil is still good. Next time around I was planningon trying to go back to 5w-30 unless you advise otherwise. |

The power door lock is not functioning on the driver's door of my 2004 Accord 4 Dr. The other 3 doors are ok. I suspect its the solenoid. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know if there is a TSB regarding this issue? Thanks

Replying to: Honda30 (Aug 10, 2009 3:47 pm) Right. There are two rods connected to the actuator. Be careful not to break the little clips that hold the rods in place. You have to swing them open, not just yank on the rod, to get them out. There are two wire connectors, and two cables (one to the inside handle and the other to the lock knob. Make sure you don't forget to put all 6---2 rods, 2 cables, and 2 wire connectors back together correctly, or you will have problems opening the door. There is only one screw holding the actuator to the latch, then you have to carefully pry them apart. The actuator cost me $25 at the dealership. Be careful peeling back the moisture barrier, because you want to be able to reuse it. I sliced through the adhesive with a knife as close to the door as I could, so most of the glue would be on the barrier, for when I put it back on. There are a lot of screws and everything has to go back together exactly like it was. Take pictures, if necessary. Good luck
