This actuator motor is a direct replacement part, tailored to fit the locking mechanisms of the tailgate or midgate on Honda Accord, Civic, CR-V, Fit, Insight, Odyssey, and S2000 models.

Installation Notes and Tips

It is recommended to test the actuator motor operation before reassembling the tailgate panel to confirm proper function.
