Default 93 Civic Si - Can only lock or unlock driver door if handle is pulled

So i bought my first Honda (93 honda civic si hatch) about two months ago and one of the first things i noticed was that my driver side lock switch can only be flipped to lock or unlock if the door handle is pulled and and it has started to bug me so i tried seeing what was the problem but i cant seem to figure it out thats why im here... Im new to forums too sorry if this is in the wrong spot can post pics if requested thank you guys..

You can't figure it out because there is no issue. That's how it's supposed to be.

Wow really? learn domething new every day lol thanks dude.. I went trying to fix my alarm because my doors wouldnt lock or unlock when i pushed the buttons on my remote cause the little metal rod connecting the lock and the puller/pusher thing lol wasnt attached so i connected it and pushed the lock/unlock buttons on my remote and it wouldnt work because the door was open so after i posted the thread i tried it with the door closed and it works perfectly... Why dont you pull the handle on the passenger side to lock/unlock the door?

it's just how the car is, you aren't going to lock your keys in the car from the passenger side.
Unless you are entering/exiting from that side. If so you have much bigger issues. Or just a dumbass.

Yea makes sense.. thanks for the help still learning things about my car lol.. I'm just glad I was able to take the door panel off all by myself was really easy surprisingly. Thanks again. Next thing on my list is removing rear and front bumpers.

You'll notice you can lock it normally when the door is closed but if it's open then you need to pull the handle.

Honda's primary market is stupid people.

Stupid people lock themselves out of their cars often.

This is a safety feature to keep dumbass Honda owners from getting stuck outside their cars.


Some way, some how, Honda owners still manage to get locked out of their cars.

Don't ask me how.
