euro drivers door not working

[blk05gli]

As of this morning, my remote fob does not lock and unlock my car properly. When I press lock, all doord except the drivers lock, and the same happens when I unlock. Indicators do not flash unless I manually put the key into the drivers door and lock/unlock. I have checked the remote for a weak battery but its good. Also, once inside the car, when I press the lock/unlock switch on the power window/mirror control panel, the drivers lock does not respond, but the other doors do?

Any ideas?

The power lock actuator in the driver's side door has died. Time to replace it. Not cheap.

i was quoted 175. its not cheap cause it comes with the door lock aswell as the actuator.

Mine makes like a groaning noise occasionally, but It didn't do it when I took my car to the dealer. Normally happens when I press the switch to lock the doors.

^^ means its on its way. its having issues making the bar to lock rise.

Does $175 include labour? If it does, that's cheap. Where did you get that quote from?

Thanks for the advice, just called local honda dealer:

Actuator: $190
Labour: $95

Also called some of my commons honda spare parts places and nobody seems to have a euro or accord door with the actuator still in place?

Unless someone here as a spare euro parts car :-)

Na, parts only. got it from hontoys. I could probably get it cheaper.

Theres another thread on this. My 2005 had the fault 4 weeks ago and was fixed under extended warranty. Sounds like a common fault after 3 years or so.

Yeah i have the same problem with my front passenger door

[exISeuro]

both front doors on my car have this problem.

i'm now used to manually unlocking and locking as if i owned a car from the 80s.

Has anyone with this problem tried aftermarket alarm installers.

Thats a good point. I will give it a try. I had an aftermarket alarm installed a few weeks before i had the problem, maybe he could either fix the problem or it could be linked to the alarm. Will give it a try.

[albii]

same problem with drivers door.am going to take it to strathfield or someone like them and get an aftermarket actuator installed as it will be a hell of alot cheaper.

[misteR_bilzz]

id be interested to know how much an aftermarket actuator would be.
