Problem with Door locks..

Both pass and rear passenger door locks will not work. When I try locking them, I hear a click down my the passenger side kick panel. Could it just be a relay or something ? I know someone here knows the fix

Welcome to AcuraZine!

Assuming all doors are closed properly.....
If they do not work at all, yet the other door locks do - it might be the actuators.

Yea I closed everything and still nothing. I thought it might be a relay becasue its strange that BOTH will not work. If I cant figure it out I'll have to take it into Acura

It's hard to believe that no one else has had this problem, Just an update: As of now None of my power locks work If I push the lock button on the Drivers side door....or any door NOTHING happends...accept I can hear something clicking under the dash by the passengers side kick panel. I'm pissed cause I hate using the key to unlock the doors !

Sounds like a bad actuator for you Blue. Otherwise, this thread is pretty old.

It cost me about $35K. The fix was a brand new G35!

Had the same problem ('99 w/177K miles). Went away sometimes and came back sometimes. Finally got fed up with it and did some asking at the dealership. Turns out the three other actuators in the TL are slaved to the actuator in the drivers door; when the drivers door actuator fails, none of them will work.

If all doors don't work, I was told to try having the drivers door actuator changed first before any others. If it is just one door other than the drivers door, it is probably that one actuator.

Ordered the actuator from acura parts land (?) or some such on-line "discount" acura parts dealer. BITN, they did send me an authentic Acura part! Had it replaced, and have not had the issue since (going on 7+ months now).

I'm having the same problem with mine but on the passenger side, drivers side works sometimes. Also the truck button doesn't work in the car and the button only works on the remote when the key isn't in the ignition. Any ideas?

red_tl : Yes, because of the driver door actuator. The other three would not work if the driver's door wouldn't work.

desco10: My passenger side front door is now having similar issues. I have been told when I had it checked that the actuator in that door is marginal, so yes, I would believe that your issue is the pass door actuator, from what you say.

ATL: if the trunk button doesn't work in the car, I believe there is a separate fuse for this? Check the inside fuse block. I think the remote buttons are automatically disabled when the key is in the ignition, by design.

if you open the glove compartment on the left hand side there is a switch to disable the trunk button in the car. im pretty sure thats what the case is with you.
