Is there a recall for the door locks? Anyone know the steps to remove door actuator? After searching through hundreds of posts, I have noticed that myself and alot of other members on here have had a problem with either the driver side or passanger side door lock not working. Mine is on my driver side, the remote will only lock the passanger side and I have to use a key. I am still trying to figure what the problem might be. If I stick my head next to the driver door and use the switch to lock and unlock, sometimes I can hear buzzing like it wants to work, then I dont hear anything. I wish someone knew the problem or if someone has gotten theirs fixed, what was it. But I was wondering if there has been a recall for this. Someone let me know.

Rep Power: 452 Well I have the keyless entry and cant use it because of my driver side door lock. I would take it to honda but they charge to look at it and then labor to fix it. I wish I knew the actual problem.

Rep Power: 303 damn. just yesterday me and a friend were coming out of a club, and he opened the door and the alarm went off. I was like wtf. If the alarm went off, that means that when I activated the alarm, both doors should of locked. I didn't think much of it, but now i have to see if that was a one time thing, or my door lock is f'ed up.

Rep Power: 387 Its the door lock actuator. You'll have to buy the entire assembly from what I'm told. My passenger side went out, a while ago.. Currently I'm dealing with it, but will get it fixed soon..
The part costs about $50 from the dealer..

Rep Power: 452 I was quoted about $98 for the actuator from the dealer. What is the entire assembly? How do I get to the old actuator. When I pulled the door panel off, the lock has a wire going down, but leads off to the side of the door where I cant see. I am wondering how to get to it and maybe replace it.

Rep Power: 387 From what I was told the entire assemble must be replaced.. The price you were given may be accurate, I get Honda parts at cost which is why I was quoted $50 or so.

Rep Power: 452 What does the entire assembly consist of. Also to get the actuator out, after removing the door panel, do you have to remove the metal frame? This is killing me here. I want to get this fixed.
