Ok, when my driver's door is open and I lock it (by pulling out the handle and locking it at the same time), is it possible to "re-unlock" it without closing it first? It won't let me do it, is my lock tab jammed or is this a normal operation. It wouldn't even "re-unlock" using the remote, it would just try really hard and then beep at me.

I realize that this is a really obscure event that you would want to unlock it again after locking it, so if someone maybe could run out to their car and try it and post back, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Edit: I just had my whole door pulled apart by a body shop so I need to make sure that they put it back together again correctly. (this isn't just a whim)

 

Pull the handle and unlock it. I can't remember if that's the trick, but I think it is. All hondas do what you describe though.

 

so you are trying to lock your door while it being open??? cause if thats the case it wont work...you can only lock the door when its closed. its used to prevent a lock out.

 

no, im trying to unlock the door after locking the door while its open

 

Like i said before:

To Lock:
-pull the handle and lock the lever

To unlock:
-pull the handle
-pull the lock out until it binds up
-release the handle while holding pressure on the lock and it will open all the way.

 

SgtB, sounds like its operating normally, thank you, but do you know anything about how the remote handles it?

 

Closed or open door?

 

open.



closed it works fine.

 

The same thing. the latch changes the lock knobs behavior. That's why you can lock and unlock the knob with the door closed. If you want to use the remote to lock or unlock the door, you'd have to hold the handle. The only problem with that is the S won't let you lock the doors at all with the fob unless the doors are closed.

Your car acts like every single honda, and is working correctly.
