Remote entry issues

I seem to be having issues with getting into my car and also locking my car heres whats happening:

hitting the unlock button, none of the doors open and I have to almost always use the key and insert into the door handle and turn

upon locking, all doors besides the driver's door will lock and I'll usually have to manually lock the doors

I don't understand what's happening the manual doesn't reference to any sort of this type of behavior

I think it is the door lock actuator I have replaced one in my wife’s 04 accord and it seem to be the same problem you are having I think the part was like 40 bucks

you know how it may have been damaged and if warranty will cover?

So it was the door actuator and I think its pretty stupid how acura won't cover it due to the fact that there no way a owner could fuk up the actuator unless they try opening up the door panel and start fukin with the internals....

damn...another thing to worry about that might go wrong with my car later on I'm almost out of warranty too. To the OP: check with your dealership they might goodwill this for you if you're nice if not, it sounds like its a $40 part and doesn't sound like a complicated fix. GL
