Hello, I have a 2014 RDX and the battery is dead. I've tried several times to use the manual key to unlock the driver side door with no luck. I've tried putting WD40 on the key and the lock but that did not help. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

 

Are you turning it in the correct direction?

 

I've turned the key in every direction possible.

 

Bump..

I am having the same issue with a 2013 RDX. It almost feels like the lock mechanism is power assisted in some way. If that's the case, it'd be a pretty silly design. I'll call my AAA on Sunday to get it popped open if I no one else has any ideas.

Thanks.

 

UPDATE. I had AAA unlock the RDX and replaced the vehicle battery but still had the same result with the blade key. I came across a similar post on an MDX forum:

However in, my case. The driver's door was repaired by a body shop a couple years ago for a parking lot ding. I reached out to the shop earlier this week and they asked me to bring the vehicle in. They discovered that the pin from lock cylinder that should align and engage the lock mechanism was mis-aligned when the door was likely put back together after the repair. They fixed that the this second time. All good now.
