2003 Honda Accord 2.7 Manual Transmission
I have searched all the threads, I think. Anyway my Honda Accord Power door locks will not lock, they try but too week. I changed the driver side actuator, but no change. Door switch lamp works correctly for each door. They act the same for key and both inner door switches. The remotes on the keys are dead but I suspect they would be the same. Any help would be appreciated
If all 4 door locks are slow or cannot lock and unlock then I would suspect that there is a point of excessive electrical resistance in part of the circuits. Most likely a bad ground, if corroded, this would cause excessive resistance and prevent the lock actuators from flowing the required current.
Now the radio is flickering on and off, it will go for a while then start flicking. The clock holds its time. I agree with you about the bad ground... where would you start looking?
I'd start with the terminals clean and inspect. I have had terminals catch me out trouble shooting more than once. There is a drive train to frame ground ribbon hidden below air box on top of transmission mount. From there i'd check the connector mounted on bottom side of intake manifold. That has caught me twice once on element and again on accord. Just my 2 cents. Good Luck and let us know how it turns out.
