Remote Won't Lock Driver Door
 

When I press the lock button on my remote, it locks all the doors except for the driver door. Using the key to manually lock it works, as well as pushing down the lock before closing the door, but the remote won't lock it.

I think the problem is intermittent too. Any ideas what may be causing this? Thanks.

does it lock if you hit the lock button inside the car? if not its probably the electronics on that door

uh.......?????? ^^^ ??? ok lol :)

anyways, i would take your fit to the dealership and get the key synchronized with your car again. there is a procedure where they do/fix that. it may even be in the manual, but don't quote me on that, i'm too lazy to check for u :)

Sounds like a bad door lock actuator. I had both go out on the Accord I just traded in. I don't think Honda has a great track record with these.

I was going to start a new thread until I found this one...

I have my locks set up for all to lock ~15mph, and all unlock when I turn off the key. A few weeks ago, when I shut off the car, I'd hear a bit of a whine - figured it was AC fan winding down or something. I'd also noticed that when I left the car and double-clicked the lock, the horn wouldn't beep. I figured a door was slightly open, so I'd check them all, double-click, then get the beep.

I finally sat in the driver's seat with the door closed and double-clicked the fob, heard the whine and noticed that it was the driver door lock not engaging. It was odd that it wouldn't lock, then I'd unlock all with the fob, lock all again, and it would - an every-other-time deal.

Took it in to the dealer and they ordered parts for the actuator under warranty. I also showed them the TSB about the cracked door armrests and they are ordering a pair of those as well. (Also had them do the TSB related to mileage).

Thanks to these forums for having the TSB sticky and this information - it was cool to be able to tell the service tech which TSB to reference and to have something to back me up.
