Power door lock noise - 3/3/2008 12:50:38 PM    beerpyle   Posts: 1 Joined: 3/3/2008 Status: offline I have a problem with the power door locks in my 95 accord ex. it has the 2.2l vtech and everytime I lock the doors the driver side door makes a loud grinding noise like its trying to lock and keeps trying to lock 2-7 times everytime i lock the door. The lock still works but this is a very annoying and embarrassing problem to have. Can anyone help me out? Also it is a 2 door. Post #: 1

Either the gears are stripped or the rubber bumper isnide is dislodged. Buy a new one and inspect the old one when you take it out. If the bumper is just dislodged, superglue it back and return the one you bought. _____________________________ USE ME TO SEARCH HAF PWOTY 2008! (in reply to Cooper622) Post #: 3

You'll see when you take it apart. _____________________________ 96 Accord LX 4cyl. 4dr AT w/o vtec (F22B2) Security System / Keyless entry (in reply to finch13) Post #: 4

The locks still function but the noise is extremely loud and annoying. I’m pretty sure that I might have to change the power door lock actuator but, since it still functions could it be just be grinding gears that I can repair myself?  If not. How much do actuators run (front passenger and drivers back have become faulty). _____________________________ |Autopartswarehouse.com Blog| (in reply to 03Sleeper) Post #: 6

Is it a quincedence or can something else be fault and causing too much power to run to the actuators?? (in reply to nafango2) Post #: 8

One thing you can do is take them out and open them up. Things that can cause the grinding noise are 1) gears missing teeth/worn/etc. or 2) theres a rubber bump stop in them that stop the arm from going too far. The rubber like to fall out of place, and the arm grinds when it has gone too far. _____________________________ USE ME TO SEARCH HAF PWOTY 2008! (in reply to madsteez) Post #: 9
