when i click lock or unlock, the light turns on, but the door doesn't lock or unlock. before it used to make sound when the door locks, but now nothing, just the light turns on and off. but the panic button still works.
Its a 2001 Honda Civic Ex.

Listen while sitting inside the car when quiet (doors closed) while attempting the lock/unlock and see if you can hear any buzzing or noises from the door when doing so.

Also does the lock/unlock button on the drivers door work normally ??

Ok so this is what i noticed, when I am inside.

--all the locks work perfectly with the buttons inside the car.

--with both door locked, when i click lock button on the key, i can hear the passanger side make clicking noise, and when i click lock twice, the horn honks.

--with both door locked, when i click unlock button on the key nothing happens except the sterio making sound, and parking light comes on.

--when i unlock the drivers side door, then the passanger side door locks and unlocks perfectly with the wireless key, but not the drivers side, it remains unlocked regardless.

My 1st thoughts would be drivers side actuator but...you say the lock button inside works o.k.

More questions:
Is the drivers side lock **** near the window moving quickly when you use the inside lock button ?? or does it seem slower moving ??

What happens if you work the inside lock **** up and down several times in a row rapid 6-8 times & then quickly afterward attempt the lock or unlock from the remote, see if the lock **** responds with any movement.

The clicking noise you are hearing inside from the dash is the tailight relay making noise (normal) Also if you have the drivers door open during an unlock or soon after unlock (while the lights are still flashing) you will hear the beeper for the headlight on warning for a short time.

heyy, my bad i just noticed, the inside lock button only works for the passenger side. soo u think it might be the actuator?

The other possibility could be a broken wire and the actuator is not getting voltage. It could go either way if it is not working at all.
If it were attempting to move or made a noise when attempting to lock/unlock that would be a sign that it IS getting voltage.

I would do another check, in the car doors closed and quiet. Listen at the drivers door closely during the 1st push of the unlock button there will also be the clicking from the relay under the dash. The 1st press of the unlock is the only operation where something else is not occuring at the same time and would be the best chance to hear if the actuator is getting voltage. Only other option would be to measure voltage to the actuator leads.

btw, did this happen all at once ?? Just stopped working ??

There should be some info in the DIY section with some pixs, The rectangle cover to reveal the screw on the inside opener handle is easy to scratch & mar when removing.
The handle cover has a notch where the release is located near the door panel, release it there first and then it peels off to reveal more screws. Pull out on the panel at the bottom front and work back & lift up off top lip. Don't forget plastc triangle part up top.
