Civic 4 door, key won't unlock doors

When I turn the key in both the driver and pass door nothing happens.

The doors won't unlock.

Have to go thru the trunk or not lock the car.

Thanks for the help!

Dumb question- are you using the correct key?

If so, I'd say something has loosend inside the door- but that still doesnt make sence.

yes it is the right key. It starts the car and turns both

ways in the door key cylinders.

I am going to try to pop the door cover off and see if one of the rods fell off from the key cylinder to the actuator.

It just seems strange that both of them would go out at the same time??

Ok, found that that rod was not connected to the key cylinder lever but

it is fine now
