I have a 2005 Honda Civic LX (automatic transmission, 133,000 km) and I am having following problems for the last couple of months. I have limited experience about car. Your help will be highly appreciated.

1) Key-less entry doesn't work, use key to lock/unlock since August 2011. I replaced battery for key fob but didn't work. The headlights used to on when I pressed the key fob but not anymore. Neither panic sound nor headlights are working while pressing the key fob.

2) The rear left power window doesn't work since January 2012. All other windows are working perfectly. I checked fuses and I think fuses are okay. I have found interesting thing while checking the fuses. If I remove fuse (20A) for rear right window, then the rear left window works but rear right doesn't work (I understand it won't work as there is no fuse). If I add rear right window's fuse, the left window stops working but right window works.

I don't know where the problem is. If you can, please help me. Thank you.

1.) Sounds like something might be wrong with the control unit for the Keyless entry system. A wire might have come loose or the module could be bad. The module should be located above the driver side kick panel under the dash. I believe the plug is orange.

2.) That is weird!! There must be a short in the system somewhere. Your going to have to get a multimeter and see if you can find the short. Start at the actuator in the door and trace the voltage back to the switch and window module. Your window module may have a short in it.

@Golnat: I live in Calgary and It's snowing outside. I will follow your guidelines when it is warm outside and let you know the result. I was also reading some forums and found that the driver side door lock actuator may be bad. Therefore, the key-less entry isn't working. What is your thoughts? Thanks!

WOW! I have the same problem with my 2005. The left rear window quit working. I checked the fuse and it looks fine. Swapped a fuse from another window and it still did not work. My right rear door also quit unlocking with the key fob. It sounds like it want to unlock and moves slightly, but not all the way. Any ideas before I go to the dealer?

I had to replace driver side door lock actuator in order to use key fob. And for the power window there was a broken wire near the door hinge. I have fixed it with some tape. Now it's working.

Having an issue programming my recently purchased keyfob but my power lock works. Did your power lock work before replacing the actuator?

I just picked up a 2004 4dr SI (aka EX) and it had a similar issue with the power window.

From the drivers door control I could operate all the windows but had no control from the rear passengers window switch.

I swapped out the window control switch from the other side, and verified the switch was working on the other door.

I started tracing wires and checking voltages from the drivers door over to the rear passengers control and found a couple broken wires inside the rubber tube on the rear passenger door.

I had to remove the passenger seat, seat belt and B-pillar trim *** well as the door panel to get access to the wires to pull them out far enough to properly solder and insulate.

When possible, I've been replacing the rear door harness when this happens to a 7th gen, they are so dang cheap that it's not worth my time (labor dollars) to cobble a repair.
