2004 Honda Accord LX with a 2.4 liter engine 220,000 miles. So my key does not turn when I try to unlock my door(i get in through my trunk everyday haha). My mechanic said its probably the lock actuator, so I was wondering, is it hard to change the lock actuator myself? And also if my key fob batter…

Nothing is cheap these days. Greed, you know… And you DEFINITELY can do it yourself - search on youtube, there are instructional videos on virtually everything.

I believe that if you take your FOB to Autozone, Advanced Auto, O’rielly’s or other chain auto parts store, you pay for a package of batteries and they will install the battery for you. If you have two FOBs, they will show you how on the first and then you will be able to do the other yourself. Th…

Except first you go stand in line at customer service to have someone paged to go to the jewelry dept.

It’s been an unusual summer but I spent $1500 for a timing belt, $1200 for new tires, $600 for fluid and other work on another car and more I don’t remember. $300-400 a month would be nice. Either trade, pay the price of admission,or take the bus or bike I guess. Don’t mean to be impatient but li…

Thanks I just don’t know which battery I need my fob doesn’t have any info on it

The owner’s manual shows a CR1616 key battery, open your key and have a look at the old battery.

Maintenance/Repairs

I’ve seen this done for customers at some auto parts stores. The job seems to take quite a bit of the store staff’s time and can cause customers waiting in line to get a little upset. Auto parts store owners imo shouldn’t allow their staff to replace fob batteries if any customers were waiting for assistance.
