Default Door lock not working, which parts to buy?

I have a 2004 Acura TSX.
I check and this is what I found out,

Passenger front door lock does not go down when using passenger front button, driver front button, or key remote. It made a small attempt to pop up when using passenger front button, driver front button, or key remote.

Passenger rear door lock does not go up or down using any methods.

Driver front "lock" button does not lock/unlock any of the 4 doors.

Which parts are messed up in my car so I know which parts I need to buy. I'm checking with you guys hoping to get the right parts so I don't need to buy more than I need. Thanks a lot!

This has happened to my brothers car also. Same year TSX. But he just got use to it opening it by hand. Hate doing it when I drive his car though.

Good luck on the search.

Have your tried stripping the door?

this is actually a common porblem with the TSX. the problem is the driver side door actuator, if i remember correct it was like $30-40 bucks at the dealership without labor .but it isnt to hard to swap out. I'm actually gonna have to go order one myself as mine took a **** as well the other day

I went out to check again today and strangly now the driver side buttons can lock and unlock doors but still cannot lock or unlock the passenger front and passenger rear.

So, when I push the driver side lock button it only locks and unlocks the driver side, and driver's rear. This goes for trying the remote key as well.

The passenger front and rear are still completely dead. What do Ineed to buy on the passenger side? Thanks.

All you need are the door lock actuators.

ive replaced a shitload of driver side door lock actuator. they always failed but usually the ones i replaced are complaints where drivers side door lock doesnt lock or unlock. usually the driver switch is still capable of locking all the other doors.

My 05 front passenger's side won't lock or un-lock, all other do. I noticed it about three months after the warrenty was over. Would it be the actuator too?
