Default Couldn't get in the S. But.............

Pressed the fob this morning and nothing happened, so whilst thinking what to do next I got my camera.



















Went in did some photoshoping, got into the passenger side, couldn't open the drivers door from there, poured warm water over the lock, still no luck. Then had a moment of clarity! Why don't I just stick the key in the lock. DOH!

Hahaha. my central locking motor also sticks sometimes when it's super cold.

Last year it also took me 5mins of spraying deicer around the seals and lock trying to open the door before I tried the key

Why?

Thump the lock area with the base of your hand - has worked every time for me in the cold so far

One never thumps Honda bodywork!


If you managed to get in via the passenger side I'd just have started the enigne with the heating on, by the time you have your windows scraped clear you'll be able to open the door just fine
