I have the 4 door...and my left rear door lock stopped actuating. The rest are unchanged. The door has power to it for the window still. Maybe a wire came off?

Did you pull the door panel to check the lock solenoid (one screw and a bunch of clips hold the panel on)? You can put 12V to it to make sure it still works, and check the harness with a DMM or a test light but my $$ says the solenoid is dead.

I agree with Grady - make sure you check the ground, not just the power... they seem to have more problems with that than the hot side.
OR - you could just switch out the solenoid for the one in the wife's door... nah. Bad Idea.

Hehe...it would be tougher taking that Honda apart than mine...
I've been out working on the RV finishing up my interior remodel (well, never finished), so I haven't had a chance to look at the door yet.
We've got cabin fever so bad we're ready to take the RV out in colder weather this weekend just to get away. The campground is a casino with all the amenities and I have a furnace along with more space heaters than places to put them.
I think next week will be time to give the truck some love...clean up the winter crust and whatever else needs attention. Thanks for the idea about the solenoid though...

Man, I hear that... I went out one warm day and fired up the motorhome just to hear the Cat purr... but I don't want to go camp until I can de-winterize the tanks, and it's still too dicey up here for that; could go to -15 any time...

Crap...now it looks like it's gonna be a cold rain on Saturday...I can take about anything but that. Even snow. Time to scrap that plan and shoot for Thursday...mid 60's in the daytime and mid forties at night for a few days.
Then a couple cocktails and a blazing fire might feel pretty good.
I can do down to about 20F comfortably...after that it's pretty rough.
The furnace keeps the belly (plumbing) warm as long as you run it occasionally.
I've got all the systems running including water, so I'm gonna have to watch it for a day or two...I know...too early...but I just couldn't help myself...

I guess this went a wee bit off topic, eh?
Seeing how we have one more night of freezing and I'm all ready to roll, I reinstalled a my temp probe under the belly to monitor the temps by the tanks. I had one before, but the wire met it's demise. Sometimes you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet, you know?
I was a little surprised...I'd been heating with space heaters while I've been working on it and the furnace hasn't been running to warm the belly...it's all better now. I watched the temp rise with the furnace running. One night and then it's above freezing...
