Default Keyless entry stopped working?

When I try to open, or lock the car via the key remote control, the car gives me a response by blinking it's lights, but the locks don't pop up..., now, when I unlock the drivers side door manually, thekey remoteis able to unlock the passenger side door. I can hear the car trying to push up the drivers side lock, but it just won't budge for some reason if i use the key remote. Was this clear enough?

But on the bright side am I the only one that knows that if you unlock the car manually you can lower the windows fromoutside the car by unlocking it twice? I think that was a discovery moment for me.Any help will be really appreciated...

I have a stock 03 accord coupe v4. Should I just take it to the service place?

PS: Oh and it's really, quite obvious that it's linked to the drivers side door, because when i press the lock down and close the door, and press the button on the key, it gives me the honking "yes i'm locked" assurance, but if I don't press the lock down and close the door and press the button on the key, it doesn't give me the honk...so hopefully that further clarified this thing.

It sounds like it might be an electrical issue with the lock actuator in the door. Are there any grinding noises?

P.S. - I think the window thing started in Volkswagens/Audi back around 98-99...

is it a stock keyless entry unit or was it installed aftermarket?

most likely it's the driver front door lock actuator going bad. it's unable to lock/unlock using power locks.

if you manually lock it and then you are able to lock the car using the remote you know all the electronics of the keyless entry/multiplex are ok.

since you said you and hear/feel it trying to work you know you most likely have power/ground at the actuator.

finally, it's common for them to fail. [8D]
