You have to take off the door panel and look. most often the linkage comes off of the outside handle; sometimes something is broken. It will be a mystery no more when you remove the door panel and look.

SOURCE: Car Alarm

sounds like the drivers side key switch has failed remove the interior door panel and there will be a switch attached to the back of the key lock cylinder or around there it should be two or three wires also check the door jamb wire harness where the door closes for any broken or damaged wires, use a vot meter and see if you get power or ground to the opposite side of the switch when you use the key to lock and unlock the door if nothing changes and there is power or ground! at this switch i would replace it, i don't think there is one but if the car has a passenger side key hole try to unlock the car from that side and see if you get the same problem -jeff

SOURCE: Sliding power doors will not open

Just had the same problem with my '05 van. I put the Master Switch in the off position. I pulled fuse #7 on the driver side sub panel, located just above the engine hood release. I then disconnected the neg. terminal on the battery. I manually opened the pass. side slider and closed it.

I reconnected the battery and replaced fuse #7. I put the master door switch in the on position. I activated the auto door switch, and it worked.

Your door actuators are out and will need to be replaced. This is a common problem . My 03 has this issue too. Actuators are about $70 each. I would recommend finding a good stereo shop to install them instead of the dealer since stereo shops deal with removal of door panels and actuator installs day in and out.

Driver side door lock and unlock just manually and the all door not

I had a similar problem, where the doors would not unlock with remote and opening with the key also was difficult. I had to hold the key turned to open the door. I removed the switches and the inside panel (see Chilton manual for instructions, also look at the sitess of Honda dealers that sell parts. They have exploded views that will help you ). Then I manually operated the wire connected to the lock post and noticed that the mechanism in the actual lock body was sticky and not operating freely. I sprayed this heavily with wd40 while manually operating the mechanism. Once it was operating freely I let it sit for a while and tested with the remote to make sure it was working ok. Then sprayed it with silicone spray lubricant. It has been working great for last two years and has had no problems. Hope this helps.

My 2006 honda odyssey touring's Doors won't unlock with remote key. Central lock switch wont operate unless ignition is on. Everything works normally if the van's ignition is on or van is running

Do the other functions work on the remote, like will it lock the doors? The batteries in a 2006 remote should just be wearing down so maybe they need replacement. Do you have the second remote and if you do, is it working?

The master door lock of my 2006 Odyssey doesn't close all doors any more. where is the problem? Have no clue!

You will need the system scanned for fault codes by the dealer or a shop that can test Honda products.

Can not open any door using the key or remote control.

Hmm, probably a dead battery. The problem with those locks is that they are electrically actuated, not mechanically unlocked. Thats why the key turns easily. If you turn and hold it to the unlock position, and the battery is okay, the windows will roll down. If they dont, then its the batt. Call a mechanic.
