locking doors issue

SON1C · November 29th, 2011, 10:07 AM

it started a yearish ago, for awhile my doors locked and unlocked every single time, but then i started hitting unlock and the lock would stick, it moves, but it doesnt unlock, like its stuck, i have issues with both sides, but more the drivers side (but idk this also gets a ton more use)

has anyone had this problem + fixed?

I have the same exact problem but on my passenger side, i can only guess that its the door lock actuator but have not bothered to replace it yet, I have gotten so used to jumping in and leaning over the seat to pull the handle. I will probably replace it soon now that im thinking about it.

Advance auto seems to be the most expensive here, depending on what you need it looks like its between autozone and oreillys, if you have one of those near you,

but is that the problem/ we need to replace it to solve?

i've never done that, is it easy to do?

my wife's TSX had this same problem. Replaced it and fixed the problem. Now the other side is going out...

But yea, if you press the key fob and only one door unlocks, it's the actuator.

You can pull the door panel off and try cleaning the connectors, but chances are that the unit is bad...

No idea, fairly sure that is the problem since when it moves that means it does have the power going to it, i have looked at the inside and all my connections appear alright, if i replace my soon ill pm you if it worked or not, xtreme, REPS for that lower price find.
