you have to remove the lock clinder
Pop door panel to get access to clip behind it.
You don't fix it, you replace the door lock actuator.
Take the key and insert it into the door lock and turn.
What holds the door lock cylinder into the handle on 2002 Honda CR-V
on the drivers side door behind the door panel. its a black or orange color
no the switch can be independly remove from the back side of the ignition lock
If it is a coupe there are two. If it is a sedan there are four.
put key in door will not turn anyway but will work from boot on a honda jazz 07
remove the inner door panel first
Sounds like you need to replace the drivers door lock actuator.
How do you open your 2006 honda accord trunk when the emergency lock will not work and the remote doesn't open it?
