2000 honda civic power locks won't work

I recently purchased a 2000 honda civic sedan lx. I have replaced the bad fuse under the hood for the power locks. The back door locks will unlock but they won't lock. The front passenger door will only make a noise as if it is working but it doesn't lock or unlock. And the drivers door doesn't make any noise and does not work at all.

Am I needing just all new actuators?

Thanks

I have the same issue.
A click sound and no movement means that the fuses are fine and the problem might be with the actuators or even the driver's main control switch.

Actuators are a known common issue. They are easily replaced (new) or can be refurbished with the right parts.

I had similar issues on my 98 civic i took my door panel off and lubricated the actuator and all the places that the locking and unlocking rods came in contact with and solved my issue its worth taking a look at to save money.

I'm glad that I figured out how to search the generational threads, instead of just posting anew, and found this.

We just bought a 2000 LX and the front passenger side door is sticking, and it seems like an old solenoid that may have gotten dirty over the years. Now all I have to do is figure how to take the door apart ( video somewhere - usually YouTube ) and get the WD40 ( cures almost anything ).
...
Oh wait. Now I'm thinking maybe silicone spray instead? Not to hurt any plastic?

And instead of removing the door panel - spray through a straw, straight down the lock button hole?
...
Ahah! Looked at a can of silicone spray that I have. Says it even extends the life of plastic. Yeah!...
