I just bought my daughter a 91' accord and the power door locks do not work. When the switch is moved the door lock controller clicks but nothing happens.

What to check next

Diagnostic guidance. Suggested checks and possible repairs are separate from the owner's reported results.

Provide any existing diagnostic findings for the door-lock system and clarify whether the locks could still be operated manually.

might be the lock actuator, you need to pull the door panel and check for power and ground at the actuator, or remove the switch and test it there

Discussion summary

Power door locks not working

The owner of a 1991 Honda Accord reported that none of the power door locks operated. Moving the switch produced clicking from the controller. In a follow-up, the owner reported power at the switch and clicking relays, but no actuator operation.

Reported outcome: No confirmed diagnosis, completed repair or resolution was reported.

Power at the switch and clicking relays do not establish what reached each actuator. The reply suggested an actuator problem, but no findings confirmed a failed actuator, controller or wiring connection.
