Power Door Lock - Driver Side Issue
Power Door Lock - Driver Side Issue
I have a 2004 Civic sedan that the power door lock on the drivers side front will not lock. I can't even manually push it down. All other doors lock when I press the button on the FOB. What would be the cause of this?

Re: Power Door Lock - Driver Side Issue
Usual suspect is a bad power lock actuator for the drivers door latch.
Easily checked with a test light or a DVOM and a little work.
-------
With the drivers door open: You MUST pull either the inner or outer handle out before you can push (or pull) the lock button. It's a Honda thing. Simple once you get used to it.
With the drivers door closed: If you still can't manually push the lock button, you may have a latch or linkage problem.

It's attached to the door latch. You have to remove the door latch. Got a service manual?
It's DIY for me, but nearly everything mechanical on a car is DIY for me. I can't evaluate your abilities or tools.
