Hi,

My father's Civic (2004, LX, 4Dr) has had an issue with the drivers side door. The locking button doesn't lock the driver door, but locks all others. So, I figured it was the actuator. Took out the actuator, tested it and it functions. I checked the ground and it is fine. Obviously power is getting to the lock button which works to lock/unlock the other doors.

What can I check next? When I listen to the actuator inside to the door, I don't hear it trip. My guess is that it isn't getting power. Any thoughts?

thanks

Do you try and lock the doors with the switch on the driver door while the door is open?

test for voltage at the connector to the actuator?

Yes, I did. It works to lock/unlock the other doors

I have not, but I have a power probe, so I will use that to give it power. I just didn't want to take the door off right away.

You stated you had tried with drivers door open....the drivers door will not lock (without doing certain procedures) while it is open.

Right, it will not lock the door while open. It will also not lock while door is closed. Remote will not unlock/lock drivers door, but the others work fine.

I feel like I need to take out the harness and check it.

Here's a test for the switch at the door to see if it is working like it should you will need a multimeter to test for continuity.
And also a power test for the actuator since you said you have a power probe you can do this one easily.
