I have a 2001 honda civic ex 4 door. Only the drivers door lock goes up when the remote is pressed. The same happens when the inside door lock switch is pressed. I can not get any door other than the drivers door to open with the remote or the inside door switch. This happened gradually with the rear passenger door not locking or unlocking and then the front passenger door and rear drivers side door not opening. Is it an actuator? are there actuators on each door or will one actuator control all 4 doors? Thank you! Mario

Yes each door has an actuator. my guess would lead more towards the wiring than the actuator though. you will ave some time testing to see where the power ends and go from there.

SOURCE: door lock problem

There is a Plug between the door and engine bay, it accessible through the speaker hole, but it comes loose so all prongs are not connected, thats why it works partially. should be an easy push to get em working.

SOURCE: Drivers Door Lock Problem

You will probably need to replace the power door lock actuator.

Here's a link to one similar to yours.

You can probably get a used one from a salvage yard.

SOURCE: check engine reads P0740 honda civic

I am sorry to bum you guys out, but this usually means the piston in the torque converter is bad. The converter needs to be replaced along with a transmission flush.

SOURCE: How do you change the rear brake pads on a 2006 Honda Civic Ex.

There is a special tool to press the rear brake caliper back in on you vehicle. You can "borrow" it from Auto Zone or Advance Auto Parts. Basically because of the parking brake, you have to press the caliper back in and at the same time screw it in. I know that might sound confussing but when you see the tool they will loan you, it will make sense. It's pretty easy to do with the right tools. I have however taken the hard route before and used a C clamp and pair of needle nose to get it worked out. Hope this helps. Thanks for rating my response and for using FixYa!

Most likely the latch itself has failed. Open the door panel and first check to see if unlock signal is getting to latch connector. If yes, replace latch. If no signal, the problem is more likely in the control module.

the solenoid may be weak, or it can be lubed. you will need to remove the door panel and see how it works, and try to lube it, or see if there is any binding.

Take off your door panel, find the small rod that is connected to the door lock itself (the part that actually shows if the door is locked or not) There should be an actuator of some sort connected to the small rod that pushes back and forth when you hit the lock button.

Or, There may be module inside the door that controls your locks either way, pop off your door panel and see what you got!

2001 Civic SI (EX american) remote lock problem

OK - the master switch is the switch panel on the drivers door that controls every lock and window of the car.
If you are pressing LOCK and all the doors LOCK except the driver's door - the Locking Actuator's Solonoid has failed.
You cannot replace just the solenoid - the entire thing is replaced as a unit.
It looks similar to THIS....

2001 Honda Civic power door locks no longer work

2001 Honda Civic door lock

If there is nothing jammed in the barrel, you will need to pull apart the lining of the interior of the door, disconnect the power motor for that switch, then see if it locks by key, sounds like the motor is seized, of out of allignment, easily fixed with a second hand or reco motor, or witha simple adjustment. Good luck, hope it helps.

Car Alarm

sounds like the drivers side key switch has failed remove the interior door panel and there will be a switch attached to the back of the key lock cylinder or around there it should be two or three wires also check the door jamb wire harness where the door closes for any broken or damaged wires, use a vot meter and see if you get power or ground to the opposite side of the switch when you use the key to lock and unlock the door if nothing changes and there is power or ground! at this switch i would replace it, i don't think there is one but if the car has a passenger side key hole try to unlock the car from that side and see if you get the same problem -jeff

Door cylinder

hey
The lock cylinder is held in by the chrome on the outside in the cylinder where the key goes in to turn it. from the inside if the door - the outer piece of the chrome (the ring) has a couple of 'fingers' that help hold it on - push it off from the inside so you can reuse it. you should be able to push the cylinder out from the door now.
