Two years with the fit and first problem! 2011 Fit base with auto. Key fob will unlock door but not lock? Tried both my wife's fob and mine, both will unlock doors but not lock. Inside lock button, locks and unlocks doors as it should.

Did a forum search but found nothing. 2 years? I will try replacing battery's later, but seems odd they would go at the same time?

Any ideas? Thanks JIm

 

I have the same problem with a canadian fit, i assume its the actuator that is seized or something went wrong with the wiring. thats all the info i know about it. So i don't use the keyless entry now due to that, i have to stick my key in the key hole to unlock and lock.

 

Sounds like a job for HONDAMAN.

 

My guess would be that the car thinks something is still open: door hatch or hood. If the car senses one of these open, it won't lock. Open and close everything as a start.

 

So it seems like the easy thing to do is replace the batteries? I take the wife to work, go to the store, opening every door on the car.

Come home and replace a battery in one fob. And of course now both fobs work. So was it the battery or was one of the doors not closed completely.

Who knows? The Shadow do! Thanks for the input JIm

 

It wasn't the battery, bc the unlock command worked.

 

You are most likely right, but at two years old, I do not feel that the batteries are wasted money? Thanks JIM

 

I was hoping that you did find a problem because my 2013 Fit EV is doing the same thing. The doors will unlock fine but they will not lock with the key remote button or the driver's door master switch. My doors and hatch are all fully closed.

 

I agree w/ malraux. Battery must be good if it unlocks but won't lock. Could also try panic button which most of us have never used. If it works, immed. hit unlock again to silence annoying horn.

As for blownb310 about battery life, my '07 Sport has two remotes whose batteries lasted SIX years so don't waste $ replacing after only two yrs. An easy way to see if battery is getting weak. When fresh, see how far from car the remote operates. Make note of that and when it no longer works until you are much closer, no worries.

 

Thank you so much, malraux. I was having the same problem and replacing the battery didn't work. One of my doors was, indeed, not closed all the way. I really should know to just check here first . 2009 Fit.

 

Had this problem. On inspection, i found that the boot light was continuously on even when the boot lid was closed (this wasnt showing up on the dashboard llights as being open). Took the rear lock off, cleaned and oiled it with wd40, reinstalled it and light went out when closed and no problem locking or unlocking with the remote since. Obviously the micro switch was sticking or poor contact sending a bad signal back to the ecu.

 

@Frank Ryan Did the issue come back? I am having the exact same issue.

 

no. All running well since. Check that boot light is switching off when closed and follow above if not

 

Ok, thanks. It looks a bit different problem with mine car. I've disconected both hood and trunk switches, but issue is still there. Sometimes! Sometimes car will lock, other it wont. Sometime I lock it, and alarm kicks off in the midle of night.
Next susspect is locking control unit and welds in it. I'll responde when I fix it.
