After 6 years im finally back in the honda game. Just picked up an ek sedan for cheap to use as a daily driver. The only problem that this thing has is that the guy i bought it from couldnt figure out how to open the back doors. He says he hasnt used them since he bought the car and they have stayed that way since. They appear to have the child lock on (if there is one, i dont remember) and the handle from the outside is disconnected from the linkage to the latch. Now i need to figure out how to get the door open. Is it possible to remove the door panel with the door closed? if not i need to know how to get the doors open so i can fix this problem. The really strange part about this is that its both back doors. So they both have identical problems which is really blowing my mind as to how this problem came to be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

 

You may be able to remove the panels with the doors closed if you remove the rear seat.

 

you may be onto something, i will try that.
