When did my Honda front door lock stop working?
About 2 years ago, I began having periodic trouble with the rear driver’s side door lock. All other doors would lock/unlock with the power locks just fine except for that one. A few weeks ago, I began having intermittent problems with the rear passenger side lock. Now, the front driver’s side lock has stopped working as well.
What causes a power door lock to trigger?
The door lock actuator is usually connected to some rods/cables that run to the interior and exterior handles and locks. If one of these rods comes out of place, as your driving it may be bouncing around causing the lock to trigger (it thinks the key is being turned or the interior manual lock is being switched).
What to do if your power door lock doesn’t work?
If using the key to lock/unlock works, and the interior manual locks work, and the interior switches work – then you just need a new battery for the fob. Otherwise it may be a door lock actuator – start at the driver’s door, as sometimes the others are dependant upon this actuator.
Can a faulty door lock cause a door to not lock?
Several symptoms can occur due to the power door lock actuators failing. These can include doors that don’t lock, doors that lock themselves and doors that won’t unlock. Often times these problems are intermittent and there’s no rhyme or reason as to when the issues will occur.
What causes a Honda door lock to malfunction?
Door locks would repeatedly try to keep locking themselves. Replaced driver’s side door lock actuator. Went with OEM part, Honda Part Number 72155-SV4-A21, $160. The actuator mechanism has two rubber stops that eventually wear out or fall out of place and causes the malfunction.
Can a faulty door lock actuator be repaired?
Often times these problems are intermittent and there’s no rhyme or reason as to when the issues will occur. Once it has been diagnosed and determined one of the door actuators is the problem, the part can not be repaired and must be replaced.
Is the driver side lock on a Honda ex working?
The lock/unlock button and keyless entry works on all of the doors except the drivers on my 2004 EX. The driver side lock still works manually though. However, there was no complete description on how to remove and replace this part, so here’s my stab at it after spending the better part of 2 hours fixing mine.
How much does it cost to replace a Honda power door lock?
To have a shop replace the door lock actuator, probably 2-3hrs billable at ≈$100/hr plus parts, so probably somewhere around $320-420/door. I am pretty sure this is a wire problem. Open the door and check the cable between door and middle pillar. If everything is fine, check the door lock engine.
