I have to lock my car my using the key. If I use the key fob the lever doesn't go down. If I try to force it down, it doesn't budge. Is there any easy fix for this or is it a major PITB?

See this thread, stickyed in the Do-It-Yourself / Mods section. This might enable you to see what's wrong in there.

Is the door open or closed when you try to lock it?


It needs to be closed to lock.

It's closed.

So when the door is closed, I can't push the lever down - it just won't budge. BUT, if I pull the door open handle and hold it in the open position, it will go up and down. Is this out of the ordinary?

Compared with my car....yes.

In a related thread.....it seems that some members have different results.

Here is how mine works (and has worked since new):

• 
  With the door open the tab will not go down (seems not to be the case w/ newer cars)

• 
  With the door closed the lock button/tab will go down. (just driver door locks)

• 
  With the door open and the inside or outside door handle pulled/lifted the tab will go down.(all doors power lock)

Mine will lock both doors when I push down the tab on the driver's side when door is open or close. No need to pull the handle to lock it. I guess honda engineer's got smart after a year or so later. :roll:
