what he said.

does your remote not lock them either? can you lock them manually? or can you not physically push the lock down? if all your electronics...power mirrors, stuff like that still works, I would think it's the motor for the door locks, rather then an electrical problem.

if when you push the remote/button on the door, listen for a series of clicks down by the fuse box. If you do hear these clicks then its your power door lock actuators
if you do not hear the clicks then its your relay. thanks.

so your door switch doesn't work either?

and I don't wanna say it, but I feel I have to. You DID replace the battery in your remote right?

Refer to my previous post
relays clicking, but no door locks opening = actuators
no relays clicking = bad relay.

i have to use the key. actuators are junk. not worth the bother to me. key works just fine for me.

I have the same problem, but it is only my drivers side door, and only in the middle of the day when the car has been baking in the sun, but at night when the car is cooler the the power lock will work.

it took me almost 100 bucks the have my actuators replaced. if you can spare one bill, id say go for it. when i did it, i kinda wished it did it earlier. it's a pain the @ss to always lock them manually.

I got both the front actuators shipped to me for a little under $65.00... there are a pain to install ( I have only installed the drivers side.), but it's worth the effort.

$10.. maybe aftermarket, I got Honda OEM actuators.

One was $~29, and the other one $~32 something...

I just replaced mine with OEM Honda actuators. It was kind of a pain, and there was this little plastic shield I didn't put back on, but overall it wasn't too bad. If you are a bigger guy, it would probably be a tough job, since even with my smaller arms I had to be in a weird position to change them.

You should consider installing those plastic pieces.

I considered not installing them, until I figured out that they shield the lock hinges and links from being manipulated easily.. IE You just made it easier for someone to unlock your door.:nervous:
