I have a 2003 Honda Civic EX my car has recently had an issue with the power door locks. When I try to lock or unlock the doors with either the keyless entry or the power door lock switch on the door, the driver's side lock seems to have trouble locking or unlocking. It almost appears as thought the lever is unable to move all the way up or down. It moves only a little - and sometimes it locks and sometimes it does not. The passenger side door still locks and unlocks fine. Additionally, the driver's side door may be locked by the key without a problem. Does anyone know what may be wrong?

Hi nrjask,

Most probably the driver door lock actuator is weak and needs to be replaced.
