TIMEPAL Boot Latch Actuator for Honda Accord & Acura TL 2003-2008 — Direct-Fit Replacement, OEM-Equivalent

TIMEPAL trunk latch actuator replaces the factory unit to restore reliable electronic opening and closing for select Honda Accord and Acura TL models.

If your trunk doesn't respond consistently to the key fob or interior release, a worn actuator is often the cause. This direct-fit replacement is designed to match the original equipment part numbers 74851SDAA22, 74851-SDA-A22, and 74851 SDA A22 and restore smooth, low-friction operation for compatible vehicles. Before ordering, verify your vehicle year and trim to ensure compatibility.

Will this actuator fit my specific Accord or Acura?

Compatibility covers particular model years and excludes some trims. It fits 2003–2006 Honda Accord models (with listed exceptions) and 2004–2008 Acura TL models. Use your vehicle's exact year, make, and model to confirm fitment before purchase.

• Fits 2003–2006 Honda Accord (not compatible with 2003–2005 Accord DX, 2006 Accord Sedan, or Accord Hybrid)
• Fits 2004–2008 Acura TL
• OEM numbers accepted: 74851SDAA22 / 74851-SDA-A22 / 74851 SDA A22
• Always check the part-finder or vehicle information prior to ordering

How does the TIMEPAL actuator perform compared with the original part?

This replacement is engineered to operate with low internal friction, producing smooth manual and electronic movement of the trunk latch. It interfaces with existing vehicle wiring and door lock controls to trigger consistent opening and closing when commanded. The actuator is built to restore the expected feel and responsiveness of the trunk mechanism.

• Designed for smooth mechanical engagement and reduced bind
• Compatible with factory electrical triggers and wiring connections
• Helps eliminate intermittent or stuck trunk release behavior

What should I expect during installation?

Installation typically follows the original actuator’s mounting points and connectors, so it’s commonly a direct swap. Basic hand tools and moderate DIY experience are usually sufficient; however, some vehicles may require removal of interior panels or trim. If unsure, professional installation or a repair manual for your model year is recommended.

• Direct-fit design uses original mounting locations
• Standard electrical connector for plug-and-play replacement
• May require interior trim removal for access on some models

How can I confirm this part is right for my car before buying?

Double-check the part numbers and your vehicle’s exact year, make, and trim to avoid fitment issues. Consult the part finder tool on the product page or compare the old actuator’s OEM stamp to ensure a match. Keep your VIN handy if the website offers VIN lookup for precise verification.

• Confirm OEM numbers: 74851SDAA22 / 74851-SDA-A22 / 74851 SDA A22
• Use the product page part-finder or VIN lookup when available
• Compare the connector and mounting pattern to your existing unit

Who this is for: TIMEPAL’s trunk latch actuator suits owners of compatible Honda Accord and Acura TL vehicles experiencing unreliable trunk release, intermittent electronic operation, or a sticky latch. It’s ideal for DIY mechanics wanting a direct replacement that matches original mounting and electrical interfaces, and for technicians seeking an economical OEM-referenced substitute to restore trunk function.
