Default Auto Lock/Security issues

I've looked everywhere, so either I'm typing in the wrong search phrases, or it's not a common problem. I'm really sorry if it is, because I'm a noobie here. Enough with the preface, here's the prob:
When I first got my 'cord back in October, I'd get out of my car and it would honk when I hit the lock button on my key remote, thus telling me my car was locked and secure. I never checked to see if it would freak out if I lifted the handles or anything...
Something happened, and now when I hit the lock button on my remote it locks all the doors except for the driver's door, and no honk. I can manually lock the driver's door, and then hit the lock button, and THEN it will honk. After I make it honk in this way, I check the door handles, and the alarm doesn't go off. It seemed like this began happening when I hit the lock with my elbow once in a drive-thru. I've made sure the hood is locked down as per the owner's manual, but I don't know what else to do short of taking it in to the dealership.
Would someone please tell me how to fix this?

Does the door lock when you hit the lock button inside of the car?

On everything but the driver's door. It's like no power on driver's side door lock.

Probably a door lock actuator problem on the driver's side.

You may be able to fix the actuator. This is for a 94-97 accord, but it is a lot cheaper to attempt than buying a new one. Just copy and paste the link below in your browser.

redbull-1 is a member on this site, so you might want to send him a PM to see if he attempted this repair on a newer accord actuator.
