Download the rsx service manual. I was just looking at it and it has all kinds of troubleshooting for the door locks, trunk hatch lock too. Ill try to post the shots of the pages here tomorrow if you cant find it to download. I cant remember where I downloaded mine. Just do a search.

Do what hondaracing84 suggested, or hand over your wallet at a dealership.

It's likely a jammed actuator. Take off the door panel, remove the actuator (keep plugged in) and hit lock and unlock. Watch for movement and listen for a jammed sound.

It could be a door actuator but from him taking off the door and puting it back on it doesnt sound like an actuator problem. But it still could be...
