Lightbulb Power Lock Fix Honda Accord 1994 LX - Not the Actuator

So I was having an issue with my power locks. At first they functioned spottily, then not at all. Checked switches and other electronics to make sure all the wiring was working, which it was. When I would try and use the lock switch in both the driver and passenger side I would hear a "click" at the Door Lock Control Unit, but nothing would happen. I found this video on another forum:
This was my problem - one measly little solder!


****ty new solder! It liiiiiives!!!

****ty old cracked solder! It broooooke!!!


So, steps to fixing:

1. Open up door.
2. Check all electronic doohickies to make sure this is possibly your problem and not actually the actuator or just a fuse or something.
3. Pull out your Door Lock CU and look for a cracked/ iffy solder.
3. Use a circuit tester to see if your power locks suddenly work when that solder's connection is completed.
4. Place a little extra solder on that point with your masterful/ novice solder skillz.
5. Voila! Bask in your greatness at having fixed a problem. Go you!

Hope this helps someone!
