Re: car wont lock from the inside

I had the problem that I couldnt unlock/lock the doors from the inside. I had to pop the drivers door panel off and re attach the metal rod to the door lock button/handle. But your issue is a little differnt. You can open your door, but it wont lock from the inside? Will it lock from the outside with the key? Pop the door panel off and take a look. Its pretty damn simple behind there. It could be an alarm wiring issue, but I dont think so- but if it is, your on your own kuz I dont have an alarm on mine.

Re: car wont lock from the inside

is it just one door or all the doors that wont unlock? will ti unlock with the keyless entry? this will narrow it down to the problem

Re: car wont lock from the inside

its probably neither, i had this problem, it is most likely the door lock actuator, is like 25 bucks from honda, this is very very very common on our cars, its not terrible to replace, but not what id call fun
