my driver side door lock wont lock or unlock manually or with the switch unless u pull the door handle all the way out first....is there anyway to fix this? cause its annoying me cause i forget most of the time and leave my doors unlock because of it thanks.

 

Does it work fine when the door is closed?

This is a BS convenience feature to prevent you from locking the key in the car.

 

no man it dont work when the door is closed or open. its only when i open the door handle that it will lock....its nothing for safety reasons its just messed up is there anyway to fix this? cause it use to not do this....

 

don't know what to tell you. Most all hondas and acura's won't let you lock the doors when open unless you pull on the handle. Don't know why it would be doing it when closed.

 

no my doors use to always lock with the door open just hit the switch and they would lock but now i have to open the door and open the handle then lock it, its like its caught on something until i pull the handle. but the passanger door has no problem i can open the door and push closed the lock and be fine.....has no one else ran into this problem?

 

bump for some help if someone can lol

 

bump

 

bringing this thread back because i have the same problem...but for me i cant even push the lock closed when the door is open. i no longer have my keyless entry on my car cause i lost the transmitter by the way. but yea any help will be appreciated.

also my passenger door lock doesnt completely lock or unlock first try anymore either. i flip the switch and it goes half way so to lock it i have to do unlock then lock for it to lock all the way

 

as people have previously stated...

honda designed driver's doors to NOT lock when the door is open.
to get around that fact, people pull the door handle (with the door open) and lock the door.

unless there a difference with honda's with power locks...

what you CAN do is pull the door panel off and see what's going on inside.

 

If honda designed it that way, then why DID mine work fine, and now they don't?

Mine is doing this also.

Plus what would be the point of a power lock switch if it didnt lock the door your sitting at?

Personally I think you bs'ed that last piece.

What this guy is saying is that he doesnt shut unless you pull the door handle, meaning that even a keyless transmitter isn't getting it to shut properly.

Anyone opened her up and looked?

BUMP, someone please find this out!

the locks work fine when the door is shut.
same goes for the remote...

 

Exactly what I was saying.

But what his and mine problems are is that you can lock the car when the door IS shut. you HAVE to pull the handle to get it to lock.

that ISNT normal.

I've read it might be an actuator, but I dont really know if that has anything to do with it.
