My door locks all work fine, but when I unlock all 4 doors using either my key or the switch, I hear a horrible squealing sound from inside my driver side door. I took off the door cover and have been looking at the actuator and controller. I dont know if I need to replace either of them or if something is just out of whack. The locks are still fully functional - they just make that awful sound.......

Anyone know what to do???

That would be the actuator. I helped a friend replace the rear door
actuator on his '96 Accord for the same reason. I put in a $3.85
after-market actuator on his car. The OEM actuator is about $62 from
http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com. Usually the driver's side actuator
has switches etc. built into it, so it is more tricky to use after
market units here. May or may not apply to your car.
