Default 03 accord power locks not working

I just got a 03 accord EX earlier this week. Car is great but my power locks do not work, either from the remote or from the door.
I checked the fuse and the fuse is good.
Any other suggeestions of what i might check?

welcome to the forum. check pwr at the remote ( arm rest ) if there is power at the master, see if power is going out to each door. many times the switch for the master is bad. also make sure there is no on off door lock switch in the off position.

i noticed that when i press the button on the armrest, i can hear a clicking from under the dash. There are some relays above the fuses, could one of those be bad?


Also, dont know if it will help, but when i use the remote, the parking lights come on and the horn honks if i push the button again like it is suppost to, again, not sure if that will help diagnose the problem or not

yes it can be a relay. If you need to find location, go to hondaautomotiveparts.com and enter your car info and see if you can navigate to the chassic wire and view parts list for relay.

I had the same problem, but not till the car was 2 years old. Pull the OID fuse, count to five and put it back in. If that fixes your problem (temporarily), ask the dealer to look up the TSB that reflashes the body controller to an updated software level. Cost me $70, but no problems since (6+ weeks).

it could be alot of things. see if locks work from the door. its probably the micu. theres a drivers and passenger. you need a etm and a test light to see if the signal is getting through. one pin will be coming in and one pin will be going out its a expensive guess if you dont diag it.
