Thank you!!! That is exactly what the problem was. I opened and closed the rear passenger door which I had just opened when this problem began and your solution worked perfectly!! Thank you very much for this post. Now my Car locks and unlocks as it should! ;-)

You’re a scholar and a gentleman, OP.
Thanks for taking the time to create this video, thou it may seem like a simple solution, it would have cost me a service call thinking it was the door actuator. Lucky for me that I stumbled upon your video and that was the reason my door was not locking. I was installing a rear facing camera and the rear passenger side door was not fully closed. What a life and money saver ! Thanks a million and keep up the educational videos. Greatly appreciated 😇 God bless 🙏

Big thanks to you! My kid told me my Honda Odyssey van couldn’t be locked. I replaced the key fob battery and it still didn’t work. Almost wanted to take the van to the dealer but then found your video! It was so simple! I closed all the doors manually and the lock key on the remote worked right away! Your video is helping lots of people and doing good to humanity!🎉❤😅

Hi i habw question i have honda civic 2012 Lx I have two keys And in the winters but i want is to start the car and lock it with one key and wait for 10 minutes to warm and then come back and unlock car with second key. But the problem is when i start the car with one key and i go out from the car. The car is not locked. It is still unlocked . How can i lock that car so that after 10 minutes i am only one who can open with another key ????
@nukem384

Pretty sure you can't do this. I'm betting there's a mechanism that when you start the car, you can't lock with a key as a fail safe to not lock yourself out. What you could try is (maybe not with the engine on) but manually lock the doors from the inside with the driver door open. Shut the door so the car is locked. Then try the remote on the other key and see if that works.

I have two key fobs. One of them locks and locks normally, but the other one will only unlock the doors and only feebly at that. I replaced the battery, but the problem persists. Because it's only the one key that's malfunctioning, the issue isn't that one of the doors is open.

My passenger door indicates that it’s open on the dashboard but it’s not. So my car won’t lock with the key fob. It’ll only unlock. I have to manually lock it from the inside. Please help!!
