Both of the Front Door Keyless Entry Locks do not work when they are wet.
Yet they usually work OK when it's not raining. I say usually, because occasionally they throw a hissyfit when dry.
The rear hatch version, not only looks different, but works purrfectly everytime, wet of dry.
A Honda dealer quoted me a figure starting with 9 for new locks. It might have been 900 or 1900. I stopped listening at NINE.
I doubt that it's a keyless battery fob problem. Because I had a new battery installed in the re-conditioned keyless fob programmed for my keyless start, 3 days ago. With both fobs exhibiting the same unfit behaviour, in dry weather.
I wonder if USDM door handles would fit. I suppose the key may be on the wrong side?
Are you seeing any indication of water getting on the door lock actuator (as opposed to the door handle)? Can check your weatherstripping in the doorjamb for rips up above the actuator.
Could prolly also order an oem replacement used from ebay.
yes said metal key hole, does need to be on the right side. I've almost finished fitting new speakers & soundproofing to my rear doors. With the front starting, when our excessive dose of dihydrogen monoxide ( https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/wea...-of-heavy-rain ) departs. I don't have a garage to work in. So living in the lower & middle orange area shown at the start of the video, starting on the locks could be a few days away.
You got me with that one. A heavy dose of lockbane apparently. People look at the world all wrong. If a giant crack or hole opens up, it's just nature telling us to dust off our skateboards and bikes.
When you can, why not open your problem doors and take some pictures of the weather stripping? If you're getting into them to do speakers, you can also show off your large plastic water liners and butyl tape/goop that adheres them.
I may not know the cause of your fault, but if water triggers it then keeping water out should be a possible solution. You know, I've recently heard tell of high-leverage caulk guns and sealant so transparent that its clarity is likened to crystal.
Besides the dangerous vapors, how's life in NZ? Here on the continent our birds have feathers as far as I know. I've long fantasized about visiting your country. Fuzzy little land birds and tree ferns call to me.
Apologies if I'm getting carried away with the humor
lock spray may be a good idea. Since the e-locks have succumbed to their ICE challenge . . . possibly followed by a dose of sealant. Luckily I've got a spare door to practice on.
I intend taking many pictures of the effort, continuing what I've already started. So that IF I make mistooks, I will hopefully be able to see where stuff happened.
One of the problems seems likely to be, that the locks spring? or whatever it's called, is stuffed, because it doesn't move any significant distance
Next tuesday, flightless bird time. It goes into the local honda service center to have new Iridium spark plugs & new gearbox oil done. I intend on asking about this challenge then.
apologies not accepted, unless you continue with it. I like your kiwi'ish sense of humour, long may it live on the forest floor
PS, Unless my cat gets to them, our birds have feathers, they aren't bald
Ah, if you think it's binding an aerosol clean and lube should help. I don't see then how the fault would be associated with water, unless they were icing up. I recently dealt with a frozen closed door seal on another vehicle when the frost hit I had to clean it. dirt traps moisture and makes gives ice a place to form.
I thought kiwis had fur! They look so fuzzy in the pictures I didn't think it was feathers.
If it interests you I did an extensive write-up on replacing window motor and regulator assemblies. It'd get you into the door and guide you up to the point of lock removal.
it did find this Because kiwi do not fly, their feathers have evolved into a unique texture to suit a ground-based lifestyle. They are warm, shaggy, much fluffier, and hang loose like hair. NB This only applies to avian kiwis.
My JDM Fit only has the clear plastic liner. With no striped piece like your car.
It has been wet lately for me to want to try cleaning the lock buttons. I'd prefer that they are dry first. WD40 being Plan A.
