AboutGary J. Meyer II Expertise The types of questions I can answer would be related to Honda automobile diagnosis and repair procedures. I can't diagnose every car via email because some tests just require a good old fashion road test.
Experience I am a Honda automobile technician with twenty years of new car dealership experience. My first few years as a Honda tech date back to when Honda cars were still offered in carburated models. In the last few years, I've been exposed to the integration of hybrid powered cars, the Natural Gas powered GX Civic, and electronic features ranging from voice activated GPS navigation to power sliding doors. I have been certified as an ASE Master Technician and passed the L1 Advanced Engine Performance test in 2000. I opened my own independent import repair shop specializing in but not limited to Honda automobiles in 2008. Operating my own shop has re-energized my enthusiasm for automobiles.

I could use your advice about an issue I am having with the power locks on our Honda CRV 1997. I've checked the fuses and they are intact but the doors(power locks) still do not fuction.The driver side door opens with the key but the remaining 3 doors do not open when I push the button on the driver side door. What can I do to find out what is causing the doors not to function? I appreciate any advice you can offer me.
Best regards,
Billy
Answer The first thing to check is for voltage at the driver's door lock actuator. This part is near the driver's door latch, behind the door panel. It is very common for the door lock actuators to fail. If the actuator is NOT getting voltage I'd suspect a break in the wiring where the door is hinged. This would be much less common on a CR-V than a Civic, but I have seen it before.
