90 Accord and broken power door locks
So, here is my situation. I have a 1990 Accord EX coupe. When I
bought the car, the power door locks worked. Worked fine for about a year. Then, one day they stopped working. I didn't think it was a problem because they working the day after that. They worked fine for about 2 weeks and then they went dead again for about 2 days. This kept happening; the length of them going out kept getting longer and the interval between them going out was getting shorter. Then, one day they just stopped working and haven't worked in over a year. So, does anyone have any ideas of what is wrong? What could I do to do diagnose the problem? How can I fix it, preferably by myself? Thanks. Eric Hollins |

How can I fix it, preferably by myself? If they're similar to my 94-97 accord, there will be a rubber ribbed tube between the front of the drivers door and the front panel near the dash. Occasionally the connectors need cleaning up, or just fitting in a bit better because they've worked loose. Worth a try to begin with. Al |

How can I fix it, preferably by myself?- Eric Hollins Power supply problem? Diagnose at the control unit's terminal (probably inside door panels.) Connect +12V and ground at the appropriate terminals (you might need a diagram.) This will manually activate the locks and determine the cause. Otherwise wiggle some suspect connections and play with the switch. |

when you have a problem with both at the same time, its usually the switch
or if this car has one, the relay. i have that car as a parts car by the way. "Eric Hollins" > wrote in message om... > So, here is my situation. I have a 1990 Accord EX coupe.

also, there is a door lock actuator on my 87 accord under the seat, that
could be it also. you really should get the repair manual for that car, i have the manual for my car ant it tells you how to test each part and what the test voltages mean.
