Car Forum / Honda Cars / June 2006Broken Detent (Checker) Rod on Driver's Door
The detent (or checker rod) is broken on the driver's door of my '93 Honda Accord. Has anyone ever replaced one of these? Thanks > The detent (or checker rod) is broken on the driver's door of my '93 > Honda Accord. Has anyone ever replaced one of these? > > Thanks Where's it broken? Did it pull out of the door? Did the pin wear through?  SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ It pulled out of the door. > It pulled out of the door. Remove the door trim panel (upholstery). Make sure window is up. Remove the check pin by pushing it up out of its holes. Unbolt the door check strap from the door by undoing the two 10mm bolts. Withdraw the check strap from the inside of the door. Install replacement. You can get these dirt-cheap from the wreckers. Need more details? Just ask. SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ Hey...I have a loose (possibly broken) part related to the detent rod. On the car side of the connection (where the pin connects the detent rod to the bracket), the bracket is loose and creating a popping sound because of the movement that isn't supposed to be happening. Is there a way to get to it to tighten or replace that part? I didn't see it on the inside of the fender or under the dash. Do I need to remove the entire dash? Thanks.

If the bracket is indeed loose (rare), you can drill holes and put big self-tapping screws through the top and bottom. SignatureTeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ It is definately the loose bracket. I can watch it pop in and out of place when the door is opened all the way. They do sell replacements, bolts and all. I will think about the self tapping screw idea. Thanks. Signatureaceharmonic http://www.automotiveforums.com > It is definately the loose bracket.

What's the problem / cause?

It is in between the two door hinges. |
