I just recently aquired a 98 accord, this is my first honda, well first import period so i don't know too much about them. i had the car for a week when i realized my power door locks didn't work anymore, upon further investigation i noticed that from the drivers side i can only control my own window and the one behind me. so the right(passenger) side of the car, the windows only roll down if you are at the respective door. so all the door locks do no work and the windows will roll down from their own switch but i can't roll down the passenger front or rear window from the driver seat. i figured no question this had to be a fuse somewhere, but i checked the drivers side box, the passenger side box, and the one under the hood and i couldn't find any fuses blown. anyone know something else it might be? or somewhere else i should look for a fuse? thanks in advance for any and all help.

Turn the key off, move the intermittent wiper control to the middle possition and then turn the key on. Does that get everything working?

 

Just curious, what exactly does the intermittent wiper method do to the car?

 

Im curious also ..
What method is this that you are doing with the intermittent wiper switch ?

umm no that didn't work. lol

 

just to clarify it's the ring that controlls the intermittent wiper speed and not the int / low/ high switch.


for those asking what this does is it resets the multiplex unit that controlls the accessories such as the power door locks. This problem usually happens once the battery has been removed or disconnected and reconnected.

 

well i'll be damned, it did work. thats amazing! thank you so much

 

Every once in a while the multiplex systems lock up. Espeicially on the 98s. That's how you wake em up.

 

Hello all, first post, and I seem to have a very similar experience to the starter of this thread.

I've got a '99 EX that I bought from my sister. I noticed that the remote fob will unlock/lock the car, except for the driver side door. Also, the master switch on the door, which unlocks/locks all the doors works properly, except for the driver side door.

I know with previous Honda's I've been in, you've had to hold up the handle to lock the door, but that doesn't matter. I can either just press it down and close the door, or can turn the key and lock the driver's door.

I tried that intermittent wiper thing, but my INT ring doesn't have hi/mid/low, it's more of an analog in that you can set it to various postions.

I was thinking of just unplugging the battery for a few hours or so, will that do anything?

Thanks for any help

 

Doesn't sound like the same problem to me. Have you checked to see if the drivers door lock actuator is getting power and ground?
