I've got an 01 EX, and my passenger side door lock stopped responding to both the wireless transmitter and the internal controls, thus I can only lock/unlock it manually.

Any ideas on what could cause this? Bad actuator? A fuse?

Thanks in advance.

mine did that to but my drivers side, did that for about a week until i was bored and kept locking it and unlocking for about ten minutes straight then it was back to normal, weird

 

i have a 2002 civic lx

and i have to pull the handle than lock because it will not lock the drivers side door..
i guess this happens to a lot of people

 

That's standard on all Civics. If you want to lock the driver side door while it's open, you need to pull the handle then lock it.

 

it's a common problem. Your lock actuator is out. Most of the time it happens on teh driver side of the car though. Mine has been out, along with many other members, for years now. I'm too lazy to fix it.

 

That's what I figured. From what I've read, although it's a cheap part, it's a pain in the *** to fix.

Your lucky I've had this problem for years and just too lazy to do anything about it. I kinda got used to using the key to get in my drivers side door LMFAO! FTW!

 

same here but my passenger side lol

 

definately could be fuse. I just fixed one today. and sure enough

 

its prob a bad actuator but check the fuse just incase. that was the prob with mine, i got lucky

where is this fuse u guys are talking about for the actuator?

 

Well, if it was a bad fuse wouldn't the actuator not make the "clicking" noise when it tries to engage?

 

Hmm Honda locks are so wierd, the Same thing was happening to my 97.. door locks wouldnt work with the remote.. it would make the noise but it just wouldnt lock..

i kept lockin and unlockin and it worked...
