Door locks: HELP!!!
Car: 1998 Honda Accord, LX, 4Dr, 4AT
I have been trying to figure out why my door locks wont work, and I am stumped. I took a digital multimeter to the plugs on the door lock motors, and they see +/-20V on the two rear doors. I checked all the fuses, and they are good. I went to the junk yard and pulled four different door lock motors. The "new" motors from the junk yard don't work either. I tried switching the door lock switches between front driver and passengers side of the car, no luck.
The two back doors simply wont work. Every *once in a blue moon*, the rear drivers side passenger door lock will just buzz. The front passenger door lock also works - on rare occasion.
But the drivers side door lock ALWAYS works when I press the button lock/unlock button!
To add insult to injury, when I unlock the drivers door from the outside and lift up the handle to get in, the door pin goes back down and locks the door. So the only way I can get in is to hold the key in the open position while I simultaneously lift up the door handle. It does this off and on - its VERY annoying. I REALLY want my f'in doors to work again.
Please help!!
