bad battery?
 

when the car is off the lock switch doesn't open and close the door. the alarm also doesn't open and close it. but when i turn the car on it works. is it because of the battery. i was thinking of getting a yellow top and a higer amp alternator because of my system. im adding subs and another amp soon. should i just get the higher amp alternator or just the yellow top battery?

it coulkd be the power door lock motor, i have a 92 civic lx 4dr and ive had a similar problem

RE: bad battery?
 

how much did it cost to fix it? or did you do it urself?

RE: bad battery?
 

i havent done it yet, to lazy lol, but u can get the part at a local junklyard for probably $50, u can do it urself, take off the the driver side door panel and ull spot the motor inside, then jus swap em shouldnt be too hard, but i could be wrong so dont count on me, when ur cars off and u try to open and close the doors do u hear a funny noise comng from inside the door panel?

RE: bad battery?
 

no there is no noise. or maybe i should listen closer? lol

RE: bad battery?
 

yea maybe thats not it, take the car to a shop and let them check the battery for u, it takes a sec and its free of charge with most guys
