Driver's Side Rear Door Power Lock

wms1983 · Sep 16, 2025

I have a 2006 EX-L. The driver's side rear door power lock will only operate manually- not with the fob and not with the front seat switches. All the other locks work fine.

Also, the cargo area light only works in the "ON" position and does not work in the "DOOR" position. The dash indicator DOES activate when the tailgate is open.

Could the two be related? Is replacing the door lock actuator the first thing to try?

Actuator yes for the door lock. Not related. The rear dome light contacts for the DOOR position may need to be cleaned up. Mine is flaky to where it has to be settled in a good spot to make contact and turn on when the trunk is open. Not bad enough for me to mess with yet.

Thank you. Where are the contacts? How would I go about messing with it?

Does your gauge cluster show the tailgate as open when you open the tailgate?

Yes it does.
