The front passenger door lock of my 2003 Pilot EX-L stopped responding to
the keyless remote or the interior power open/close buttons on the driver
and front seat passenger doors several years ago. The only way to
lock/unlock front passenger door is to manually use the latch inside or
manually insert key in the front passenger side door. When using the actual
key to lock/unlock the front passenger door, all rear vehicle locks work as
expected.



Now the similar issue has emerged with the front driver side door. However
driver key lock only has ability to lock all doors, unlocking all doors from
drivers door lock is not possible with key. Incidentally, rear doors &
hatch still operate properly from keyless entry remote. With these problems
it's not possible to activate alarm with remote entry device until both
front doors are manually locked.



Is there a simple fix?



Can repairs be performed DIY or at a non-dealer automotive service center
(or possibly auto-glass repair shop)?



Do the door lock actuators need to be replaced/adjusted or is there a
possible wiring issue?



Any feedback would be appreciated.

TIA,



RK

I know you have to reprogram or reset certain features like the auto window
down when you replace the battery. You might want to check your manual.
