2001 Civic EX Coupe Automatic Black


Question guys. Just bought that car, used for 8,600. One problem with it. When I click the button on my drivers side door to unlock the door, it unlocks and locks my drivers door, but not my passengers door. Now I think this is somthing wrong with my car, but I am now double thinking. I notice on the passengers side, there is no button to unlock and lock it automatically, just the option to press the lock up with your finger. So, does the drivers side lock/unlock button control the passengers side lock? Thanks.

 

I would imagine it should, my 03 ex coupe unlocks both sides

 

On my '00 VP sedan, I have to push once to unlock the driver door and twice to unlock the others. Yours may also need a new motor or something though.

 

its your actuator in your passenger door lock, mines dead too. and yes, the drivers side power lock button controls the passenger side... if only the actuator wasn't busted. I am thinking about fixing it myself... not sure yet though since it really doesn't bother me.

 

Ahh alright, thanks guys. It doesn't really bother me, but it could prove to be annoying in the future. I don't mind saying to the person before they close the door "hit the lock down on the way out."

 

haha that always seems to be the "lose lose" situation with me. If i tell them to lock it I get, "Already know you dont have to remind me", and if I dont say anything it doesn't get locked and I have to climb through. It's not hard to get the doorapart, but trying to get the lock assymbly out seems to be a little bit of a pain. Than, let alone I heard changing the actuator is a pain to so ya might as well change the whole lock assymbly. Oh well, good luck in the car and rest assured... you made a good decision on your car.

 

Oh yeah, and if you have a gf, you could always do the gentlemen thing of unlocking and opening their door first [sm=smiley17.gif]

 

lol, thanks. Any idea on how much it would cost to fix?

I'll keep that in mind when I get one again lol.

 

more than youd want to pay. i used to own a 94 camry (auto) and on the cluster the little D light for drive burnt out. 200 dollars to fix some stupid bulb. i could only imagine how much it would cost to fix an acutator or whatever to make the doors unlock. i have an 01 ex coupe too and when u hit the switch it unlocks or locks both doors so theres clearly something wrong. doesnt hurt to get an estimate from ur honda dealer though.

 

its actually not that bad. the whole lock assembly is 58 and the actuator is 17 bucks. so if you do it yourself it will only cost that much if you get it done by the dealer I dont know... maybe your right big toe.
