I'm trying to help a friend who has a 2016 Odyssey in which their front (driver and passenger) door locks do not work with the power buttons. I don't think it's the power buttons themselves because when you lock or unlock using the button on the driver door, the rest of the locks (except for the front passenger) operate. It seems to me it must be the door lock actuator in the doors.

The friend claims they did not go out at the same time, so that leads me to believe the problem is not more upstream from the door.

However, I have searched high and low and I'm not seeing any door lock actuators for this generation of the Odyssey.

Does any one have any advice on what the problem may be?

 

The door lock actuators are built into the door latch assembly. They can be tested by applying direct power and ground to the applicable wire terminals.

 

Great, that was it! No wonder I couldn't find the actuator. And luckily it doesn't seem to be much more than just the actuator for the previous gen. Thanks!
