How To Diagnose & Fix an Integra Rear Hatch That Won t Open

This is a common and known problem with Honda/Acura Integras with electronic rear latches. I believe the effected years are 98-2001. These are only on the 3 door versions so if you have a 4 door Integra this information won t be helpful to you. The most common cause is a faulty latch actuator, but it could also be the switch or relay. I cover how to make that determination in this video. There is also an extended version of this video where I take apart the actuator assembly to try and repair it if you re interested here: https://www.ericthecarguy.com/premium-content-web/13-premium-content-videos/1709-how-to-diagnose-fix-an-integra-rear-hatch-that-won-t-open-extended-version Here is the part # for the actuator assembly: 74840-ST7-A01 I got my part here: http://www.acuraautomotiveparts.org/acura/integra-hatchback/74840st7a01/2001-year/gs-r-leather-trim/5-speed-manual-engine/body-air-conditioning-cat/tailgate-3-scat/?part_name=actuator-assy-tailgate-opener The best place for answers to your automotive questions: http://www.ericthecarguy.com Camera: Brian Kast Thanks for watching!
