One of the few things that do not work on my newly purchased Accord is the drivers power door lock. Actually it does work, but it makes a terrible noise when it locks.- It squalls and even though it is locked, it seems to keep cycling like it is still trying to lock. Does this about three of four times then quits,

Any ideas?

 

I just encountered this last night..... Any idea on what it is? I'm assuming the actuator but it still works. Anybody have a good/used one????

Problem: Locked power doors repeatedly try to relock

Whenever the driver attempted to lock the doors on this vehicle-whether by the key, by pushing the driver or passenger door lock button down, or by using the door lock switches at the driver or passenger door- the locks would try repeatedly to keep locking themselves (not unlock and relock, but keep locking). If the doors were in the unlock position, they stayed unlocked.

When the driver's door lock actuator was unplugged, the problem of relocking was eliminated and the other three door locks operated normally.

This system uses a power door lock control unit to apply battery voltage and ground to all the lock actuators in parallel. The control unit gets ground-switched inputs that tell it to lock or unlock the doors. Inside the driver's door actuator, there is a lock and an unlock switch to tell the control unit that the actuator was indeed moved to the selected "lock" or "unlock" position. When the doors are locked, whether by key, **** or switch, the control unit sees the switch input go to ground, telling the control unit to lock all the doors.

When I asked the technician to back-probe and check the voltage on the BLUIWHT wire for the lock switch inside the driver's door actuator, he found that the voltage was jumping all over the place when the locks were trying to keep locking themselves. I asked him to ground that BLU/WHT wire. The locks stayed in the lock position and stopped trying to re-lock themselves. The control unit needed to see that lock switch input wire from the driver's door lock actuator go to ground and when it didn't see it, the control unit kept trying to lock the doors. When the lock input wire was grounded, the control unit was happy and the locks stayed locked.

The technician solved the problem by replacing the door lock actuator.

 

sounds like the door lock actuator they go bad frequently mostly the driver side ones

 

anybody here have an actuator for sale???? Please???
