Default Drivers side door lock sticking

The lock on the drivers side door is sticking. I haven't had any time to look at it since I work 85 hours a week. I finally will have some time to look at it tomorrow, what should I look for? Anybody else have this problem?

When it is locked, and I push the unlock button on the fob, it only moves about half way. Same for vice versa (when it is unlocked and I push lock, it only locks half way). It does not change the status of lock or unlock, just moves it half way. The passenger side door is fine. When I use my aftermarket alarm fob that does do unlock and lock it does the same thing as the one from Honda.

Any ideas? And suggestions?

Thanks for the help guys.

Sounds like the actuator. Mine clicks but won't move the lock. Every once in a great while it will actually unlock or lock the door, but I've pretty much given up on using the keyless entry. I just use the key.

That is what I am doing now, and it is a super pain in the ***. I plan on selling soon though, so I want to fix asap

Which is exactly why I haven't bothered doing it.
