So my rear hatch actuator has taken a poop. I want to replace it but can't get the hatch open to do this.

I assume that I can climb in there and take it apart/or open the hatch from the inside of the car...but does anybody want to share their experience with doing this before I try to tackle this job?

POS tailgate actuator motor! But to be fair, this is really the first problem I've had with my ITR since I've had it.

 

You should be able to open it using the key.

 

Just use the key and turn it hard to the right, it will open. Hell, you are welcome to anything off of my hatch since it still works (but not needed). I owe you for all of your help getting the car going

 

Oh ******* duh on me...totally forgot I had a keyhole back there since I've never used it. Thanks guys!! Brad, I'll have to take you up on that offer.

Yes it is the actuator, common problem on Integras. It happened on my ITR too.

Here is a write up:

do not have to worry about this on my 97


easy fix, dont fret to much about it, key will open it up....

 

hell, I didn't even know there was an acutator, I just always used the key... damn.

 

It happened to me yesterday too... But it started working again after I let it sit for a little while.

mine's been doing it for like a year now, just don't feel like changing cause it still opens with the key

 

I've got an extra latch too from the project car....you can take it. if you don't like brads

See you at Expo yo

 

can you bring that one for me if he doesnt take it?

 

There was another thread on this topic a while ago where someone actually just replaced the $2 electric motor that is the part that actually takes a poop.

What is the price of the actuator assembly - still $60??

what's the p/n?

If I remember correctly, the motor is not the problem, but the plastic gear is. Which is not sold seperatly.

74840-ST7-A01 ACTUATOR ASSY., TAILGATE OPENER $57.66

Yeah, I remember that thread and was looking for it but no luck finding it....

 

thank you.

even though you can still open the hatch with a key - you need BOTH hands to do it - one to turn the key and the other to press the latch to the left and open the hatch.

this is a pain in the *** if you have something in your hands that you just bought or in my case dry-cleaning.

I'm definitely going to replace this .
