Default door lock not working properly after an oil change

Own: Honda 2008 civic EX 1.8L 4-cyl. engine.

Condition: Honestly take care of it, regular oil changes, check ups, clean etc. keeping it like new as much as I can. No problems so far except for tire replacement.

Problem:
  • Recently got oil change and now my door locks are not working properly.
  • My key fob will lock all doors except the right rear passenger for whatever reason
  • The horn has stopped honking when car locks.
  • Locks constantly re-lock themselves when accelerating from a stop and not just the one time when you get in.

Obviously things are working to a degree. I imagine it is a loose something since Jiffy Lube guy could have knocked something around. I am not a car guy, but I do not have a budget to get an expensive trip to the shop.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Default I solved my own issue

Apparently, the rear left door had been manually unlocked by one of my nephews. I did not know this and I did not know that it would cause my locking system to act like this. So, I manually locked it back and all works just fine now. Moral of the story: try the simplest solution first.

More often than not, this is the case. When all windows but the driver's won't work, check the child lock before panicking. We always tend to suspect the worst scenario.
