After dealing with trunk lock issues for years with my 2006 Civic EX Coupe, I finally decided to replace it. The latest issue was that the manual floor release near the driver's seat stopped working. I, too, had experienced the joy in the past of having to unbolt the rear split seats in order to squeeze an arm through to get to the seat release latch. Then I had to crawl into the trunk to open it via the emergency release latch. There is no key hole on the outside of the car (nice job Honda), no keyhole on the rear deck for seat fold down (like my '99 Civic had) and if the remote and manual floor release stop working, you are in trouble.Luckily, this time around the remote still worked but I decided it was time to replace the lock unit since a piece I had previously repaired broke again. This replacement part was a perfect match and it took less than 5 minutes to switch out. The only tool needed was a ratchet with a 10mm socket. All you have to do is unclip the electrical connector, unhook the cable and remove 2 bolts to take out the old unit. Then take the new unit and tighten the bolts, hook up the cable and the electrical connector. Pretty simple. I'm a female and I figured it out. Everything works great now!
