I have a '99 Integra GS and have been experiencing the same problem with my electronic hatch lock. I read a post by an Acura technician saying they always replaced the actuator assembly when they came across this problem. I assume he meant if the electronic lock is still working. I can still hear my lock working, so I'm probably going to order part # 74840-ST7-A01 (ACTUATOR ASSY.) from Sunnyside Acura (http://acuraparts247.com) sometime soon (item number 25 in the picture).

 

Good deal... But.. one thing how the hell do you get in it if its stuck shut heh i got 4 12's and 5 amps back there hehe its gonna be a bitch huh. i guess im gonna have to take it apart peice by peice and slide it all out my passenger door? Thanks for the post 99IntegraGS

 

Is it stuck, or does the electronic latch just not work? I can open mine with the key by turning the key clockwise and lifting the hatch while holding the key.

 

It's an Integra RS with vtec, some headwork, a LSD, and pretty interiror...everything else is the same!

 

what is

 

i think i have the same problem. i can unlock everything with my power door locks, but when i try to open the trunk with the lever, it doesnt work. i have to use my key to open the trunk and use the lever at the same time. so try that to get the trunk open.

 

Yeah it opens with the damn key, just never used the key before to open it heh i thought it just locked and unlocked the doors but u turn a little more and it pops the hatch but still thats weak shiii i needs to get that part homeboy told me bout above a little.

 

my car has the same problem. i can still open the hatch by doing the same as joe. but i thought it was normal for integras! dah. i have my interior pieces stripped for my major mod project so i'll take a look at the lock part sometime soon.

 

Part # 74840-ST7-A01 (ACTUATOR ASSY.) did the trick. Now, for the first time in 2½ years my electric hatch latch finally works!

 

I do the same thing this guy does to my 99 GSR. Otherwise it is stuck. I don't know what the f!@# is wrong with our latches, but I think we have enough people here on this one page to cast a recall.
