Thank you very much!
It was a booger… and seemed to fight me all the way through it… but I kept going back and restudying your video… and I made it. Actually… turns out the steel cable itself was NOT broken. The little pressed on connector for the plastic coated outside cable had come loose right there at the “push-pull handle”. 🙏🙏🙏 ✌️✌️✌️

Thanks
I see that there are 2 Honda Genuine part numbers corresponding to 2001-2005 Honda Civic Trunk/Fuel Lid Release Cable.
Part 74880-S5P-305 (For 2 Door) and 74880-S5A-305 (For 4 Door).
The price of the two varies significantly. 74880-s5p-305 is around $35 and 74880-S5A-305 is around $85.
Is there any secondary market part which is cheaper OR can we use part 74880-S5P-305 for a 2005 Honda Civic 4 door sedan ? Some reviewers say that these can be used interchangeably.

[@Zeltroix]

Did you ever find out if it's the same for the 2 door and 4 door? I have a 2 door but the price for the 2 door is about double than it is for the 4 door even though in the pictures they look exactly the same.

[@jaminv2889]

@@Zeltroix I just called the Honda dealer in my area for mine, she says that it makes a difference in the length of the cable between the 2 door and the 4 door. I needed the 2 door one. It ended up being like $52 at my dealer, only $5 more expensive than an OEM one on Amazon, and I used my VIN to make sure it was the right part.

how do i open the gas door from the trunk? on a 05 civic lx

[@mickaeldavid1304]

Wiggle the cable

[@Jim5myli]

well done. thanks.

[@zealgaming9123]

Do you easily switch out the trunk key from your old trunk and replace it on the new one??

[@laketownautorepair336]

You leave the same key cylinder on. So the same key should work. This only switches the cables that pull release levers

[@zealgaming9123]

@@laketownautorepair336 oh ok gotcha, I’m about to replace the whole trunk so I was just wondering.

[@tylergrey1468]

would this work for an 07 as well??

[@CarlosGarcia-iz6ec]

Question do these cables come set already or do I have to pull the silver line to get it to git

[@laketownautorepair336]

They are usually set already

[@Jane_Snow_]

Honda service wants $400 to replace my gas lid release cable, does that seem exorbitant?

[@laketownautorepair336]

Sounds about what they charge
