Hello everyone. I have a...

1996 Accord Ex 2dr couple...5spd

I have been getting this annoying mechanical noise from the power door locks ever since I swapped out the driver side door for another one. I'm not sure if the alignment of the door has anything to do with it. It just happens most of the time when i'm driving making this buzzing noise and if I keep the lock latch unlocked, it will automatically lock...but after, it will continue to make that buzzing noise. When I turn off the car, it sometimes will make the noise a couple of times before it stops. It's as if the power door locks continue to cycle trying to lock the doors. I've look around and heard about the actuator or something like that. Could someone please help me out??...

THANK YOU in advance.

 

im thinking a bad relay?

 

if it was an alignment issue the door wouldn't close properly, sounds like it could be the door lock acuator.

To confirm that it's not a door alignment issue, try locking the door with it open.

 

thanks guys...please continue the input...I will try locking the door while open later... where could i find the relay?...I'm sure that little black box has nothing to do with it because the power door lock was perfectly fine before i put it in mine. Under what section could i locate the relay in the manual provided by desert storm?

thanks.

 

I'm leaning strongly towards the actuator.

 

get the old door lock actuator out of the old door and install it on the new ( used ) door

 

could someone please provide a pic of what the actuator looks like? thanks.

 

Does anyone have a detailed wirte up on replacing or repairing the actuator?
