Problem with door Lock - 3/30/2007 11:37:36 AM

I am wondering if anyone have ever had such problem and may be any ideas what could that be.

94 honda accord ex sedan 4 doors  automatic 2.2L Vtech

When I lock the door, doesnt matter by alarm or by hand from inside or outside - for 30 seconds the lock is keeping working as if someone would constantly push the door lock to "Lock" position.  So for 30 seconds it would go "clunk" "clunk" "clunk"   and after about 30 seconds it stops and the car stays locked.

It would stop if i unlock the car and it would unlock it without a problem. 

So what is the problem?  Is there some sort of a relay that is doing that? or where would i start?

thanks for any input,

j_man_honda's photo gallery 		My dad had a 94 accord that did the same thing. You may try to undo your battery cable for 15-20 minutes to reset the computer. That might solve the problem.

no that wasnt it.

as I was trying to play with it - I guess the symptom progressed into the next stage,

when door is locked the locking motor would make a horrible "BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ" sound  but the door stays locked.  The constant locking part dissapeared. 

Now about the locking mechanism - what part exactly has to be replaced?  I've checked the door switch it is actually fine nothing is sticking.

I've been working on hondas  for four years but trully this problem got me puzzled. Never had such thing yet...

thanks for your input.
Evla.
