Door locks, windows, etc.
The Accord that I recently picked up has a few small issues.
I've noticed that all of the doors don't lock. The passenger door does, but not the driver's door. It's not a very big deal right now. As I park in a garage at work and live in a pretty nice neighborhood. Not to mention the only thing keeping people out of the back is a plastic bag over the window. Any ideas what that might be? I can hear the mechanism trying to engage inside the door, but it does not fully lock.
The front windows have some issues rolling up. I can't tell if they might be slightly off the track, or if the motors are just going back. They roll all the way up with some assistance. Should I just pull the door panels and take a gander? A week before my Saturn bit the dust, I did a window motor on it. So I'm not familiar with the inner workings of door. Something that I had been dreading for a long time..
How do the rear seats fold flat? Is it as simple as pulling up on the bottom and then hitting a button on the backs to fold them down?
I believe that's all for now. I'll probably add to this thread as I uncover other issues. But man, for a $400 car, this thing runs like a champ.

Also. The speed sensor seems to be having issues. Occasionally the speedo will magically work. Other times it won't. Could it just be a loose connection? Or is that an indication that the sensor is going bad? It would be nice if at least the trip meter would work so that I can track my mileage. I don't care so much about the speedo. As I've got it pretty well figured out at what RPM in which gear equals what speed.
