ya you gotta spend a few bucks but $40 is cheaper than $90.


been mentioning this in other threads so decided to make one and hopefully will help everyone out

honda P# 72623-SHJ-A21
odessey actuator for the door, same shape mold and internals
pop open and swap motor and other parts, reassemble enjoy

 

Nice need to do this...

 

you can either order through honda or online store or I can do it for ya

 

Damn everyone's is broken I need one! Not sure if you got my PM yesterday with the other part number I need.

 

What year odessy?

 

Thanks for posting this Chase. I know a lot of folks will be happy to save $$. Now put my actuator back together and get it in the mail so I can fix my hatch

 

common I posted the P# for ya'll

 

Good work!

 

.

 

wow I was just thinking about this today, mine has been broken for a while now...

 

Awesome! Mine stopped working the other day.

 

This is some good info, thanks!!

 

Thanks Chase swapped the parts out today and after 8 years of it not working I had to play with it a few times lol.

 

lmao awesome

 

this

 

I'll be using this information once I work up the motivation to actually fix it. I'm tired of always needing my key to open the hatch.

 

Damn should have asked you to order me 2!

 

Yeah you should have!

Order the bushings at the same time!

 

Well I finally got around to fixing the actuator that Chase sent me like three weeks ago. Thought I would share a few tips with y'all that I ran into while doing this.
In the pics below, the Integra actuator and gear is on the left. Hopefully your big gear is reusable because the Odyssey one will fit; but the gear on the back of the big one is smaller than the Integra one, and the actuator will sound like it is working; but will not. See second picture. Integra gear is on the left.
When putting the actuator back in, the shorter rod is a bitch to get the clips onto. If you slide the actuator about 75% of the way in, and then manually extend the mount on the back of the actuator towards the rod, then there is enough room to get the clips back onto the rod. PITA!
Took me all of ten minutes to do this once I get the hang of getting those little plastic clips back on the rods

 

sorry about that, but could also swap the whole gear assembly and that other rotating part if that ever happened, done 3 so far and hadn't had a issue. Not really a high stress part

 

No worries. Just passing info along in case someone missed the gear size and swapped it over.

 

i need this

 

thanks for the heads up on this, i will have to do this some time as well since my latch is not catching at times.

 

Resurrecting this thread. On my son's newly acquired '01, the trunk only opens with the key. When the switch under the trunk lid is pushed, you can hear the actuator trying to do its thing but nothing happens. So, I swapped the guts of the actuator just now and can confirm that there was a broken piece in there which I swapped out along with all the gears, rubber stops, etc. After reinstalling...same problem. Key works but when the switch is actuated I hear the actuator working. However, the actuator is not pulling on the rod the way it should so it isn't releasing the trunk latch. Grrr...where did I go wrong?

 

Decided to read this thread since it was resurrected. Am I reading this correctly? That you can pop the trunk without needing to turn the key? I always thought the trunk was locked (even if you unlock the main door) and that a key is always needed to release the hatch.
