Ok, I haven't been on accord boards in a while so maybe someone else has already solved this issue. This is for the 94-97 accords (not sure if it applies to other year accords. When I searched, the only solution I found was to replace the stock motor. So I ended up buying a couple dei aftermarket motors for the rear driver side and passenger side doors. After an easy installation on the rear door, I realized the front door was not as simple due to how the door lock links were placed. So then I just decided to take the old motor out to take a look. The motor is held on by three small phillips screws, and the motor is right under the actual locking mechanism that locks to the B pillar when door is shut. The motor is inside the door so you will have to stick your hands into the door. Taking the motor out was fairly easy. Taking out the bottom bolt that holds the window rail will allow pushing the rail aside, and thus easier removal of motor. Once the motor is out (I left the wires on and just worked on it hanging from the door), I took off the four phillips screw for the cover which exposes the actually locking motor and mechanical parts inside. Inside is a simple motor with a rotor type plate attached to it. If you look closely, you will see that there are two little rubber bump stops that tell the motor when the rotor has reached the end of its swing (locked or unlocked). I noticed that the rubber on the locked end of the swing was half broken off, thus the one second buzz when locking the door. I would imagine that if one of you have the entire rubber broken off, the buzzing might go on for much longer. My fix to this is just take out the mechanical parts, roll up a little electric tape, and tape it to where teh rubber bump stop should have been. Putting the motor back into the door was a little harder than taking it out because you have to latch it back onto the door lock. 30 minute of work and my lock functions like the day the car was purchased. Much better than spending 70 for a new actuator.

 

Great info, but you probably only needed to post it once

Plus people have been posting that fix for at least three years. And they usually have pictures too.
