A door that refuses to stay shut is dangerous, and a driver&rsquo;s side door that won&rsquo;t open is undoubtedly awkward when you have to shuffle to the driver&rsquo;s seat from the passenger side. So what do you do when you are having problems with your Honda Civic&rsquo;s door?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If your Honda Civic door won&rsquo;t open, close, lock, or unlock with ease, a broken latch is usually the culprit. In most cases, the latch needs to be fixed or replaced entirely, which is often a simple and affordable repair. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-1-canva.jpg\" alt=\"Hand pulling on car door handle\" class=\"wp-image-823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-1-canva.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-1-canva-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"eager\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20640%20427'%3E%3Crect%20width='640'%20height='427'%20style='fill:%23e3e3e3'\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"Hand pulling on car door handle\" class=\"wp-image-823 eager-load\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-1-canva.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-1\" data-src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-1-canva.jpg.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-1-canva.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-1-canva-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" data-svg=\"1\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn about the reasons behind your vehicle&rsquo;s door problems and how to efficiently fix them, read on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Establish Your Car Door Type<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-2-canva.jpg\" alt=\"Car door handle inside\" class=\"wp-image-824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-2-canva.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-2-canva-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-2-canva.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Car door handle inside\" class=\"wp-image-824 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-2-canva.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-2-canva-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-2-canva.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two types of car doors found on Honda Civics: manual and automatic. Manual car doors were used in older models of the car and have slowly been phased out and replaced by automatic doors in the later versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding which type of door you have will enable you to repair it more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Manual Car Doors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Manual doors are the simplest of the mechanisms common in older cars, so if you have an older Honda Civic, there is a good chance that it&rsquo;s a manual mechanism. Manuals operate via a lever that you push or pull. Once the said lever is pulled, this unlocks the latch and allows the door to open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key mechanism that unlocks the door is also very straight-forward; the specific key made for your vehicle pushes and unlatches pins that are locking the door in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The primary advantage to manual doors is there are fewer components to fail and when they do, they&rsquo;re cheaper to replace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Automatic Car Doors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Automatic car doors provide enhanced convenience, as they&rsquo;re able to lock and unlock all of the doors through a key fob. Key fobs make it easy to open your car doors from a distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sensors in the key fob work to remotely open and lock the doors within range and on command. With the press of a button, the sensor that controls the operation sends a signal through the electrical wires, which unlocks the latch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While automatic doors are more convenient, they&rsquo;re much pricier to repair than manual doors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honda Civic Door Won&rsquo;t Open With Key<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-3-canva.jpg\" alt=\"Hand putting car key into car door\" class=\"wp-image-825\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-3-canva.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-3-canva-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-3-canva.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Hand putting car key into car door\" class=\"wp-image-825 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-3-canva.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-3-canva-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-3-canva.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Honda Civic doors that won&rsquo;t open with the key are relatively easy to troubleshoot. You may have a bad lock that needs to be replaced; not being able to open your door with a key usually means that there is something either in the keyhole that needs to be taken out, or it needs to be cleaned and lubricated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trick is to take WD-40 and give the key a good spray. Once you insert the key, wiggle it around to get the locking mechanism lubricated and possibly remove any excess debris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this doesn&rsquo;t work, consider inspecting your keys. Damaged, chipped, and dirty keys can be the cause of the lock mechanism not working. Remember, keys are specifically designed for the shape of the keyhole and lock, and anything that would throw the design off, such as chipping, will have an effect on the whole system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A new key for a Civic is usually very affordable, so a replacement key shouldn&rsquo;t be too costly either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honda Civic Door Won&rsquo;t Open<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-4-canva.jpg\" alt=\"Fingers pulling on inside car door handle\" class=\"wp-image-826\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-4-canva.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-4-canva-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-4-canva.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Fingers pulling on inside car door handle\" class=\"wp-image-826 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-4-canva.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-4-canva-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-4-canva.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If your Honda Civic Door won&rsquo;t open, the problem is likely with the latch getting stuck, even when pulling on it with force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s possible that the latch is deteriorating, and if you have an older Civic, chances of natural wear and tear are higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Latches can also break, which result in a stuck door that doesn&rsquo;t open. When this happens, you&rsquo;ll probably need to have the handle replaced, which shouldn&rsquo;t break the bank too much. Since Civic parts are very common, you will likely be looking at a repair job of approximately $40 &ndash; $60, depending on your mechanic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the door isn&rsquo;t opening electronically, you can discern an electrical failure with the circuits, fuses, or loose and damaged wiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honda Civic Door Won&rsquo;t Unlock<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-5-canva.jpg\" alt=\"Car door control buttons\" class=\"wp-image-827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-5-canva.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-5-canva-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-5-canva.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Car door control buttons\" class=\"wp-image-827 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-5-canva.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-5-canva-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-5-canva.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-5\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A prevalent issue with a Honda Civic door not unlocking can be due to a faulty door actuator, which is responsible for mechanically unlocking the door upon receiving the electronic signal. To resolve this, the actuator may need to be replaced. This involves removing the door panel and installing a new actuator, which may be best performed by a professional mechanic to ensure accurate installation and functionality.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some instances, the issue of the Honda Civic door not unlocking might be related to a damaged key or malfunctioning key fob. Wear and tear on a physical key can prevent it from effectively engaging the lock mechanism, while a key fob may be hindered by a depleted battery or internal damage. For a physical key, ensure it is not bent or worn down, and consider using a spare if available. For a key fob, try replacing the battery and ensure the buttons are not damaged. If issues persist, a replacement key or fob may be necessary, which can be obtained through a Honda dealer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another potential reason could be related to a misaligned door latch, which can prevent the door from unlocking even when the correct key or signal is used. Over time, door latches can become misaligned due to usage and vibrations during travel. Inspecting the latch for any visible misalignment or wear and adjusting it back into the correct position might resolve the issue. Given the intricacies of door mechanisms, seeking professional assistance for a thorough inspection and any necessary adjustments or replacements is advisable to ensure secure and functional door operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honda Civic Door Won&rsquo;t Close<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-6-canva.jpg\" alt=\"Hand pulling car door closed\" class=\"wp-image-828\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-6-canva.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-6-canva-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-6-canva.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Hand pulling car door closed\" class=\"wp-image-828 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-6-canva.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-6-canva-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-6-canva.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-6\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a much more serious issue since a door that refuses to stay closed makes driving dangerous. Even if it&rsquo;s only the driver&rsquo;s side, trying to hold the door shut while driving is not recommended. If you need a latch replaced, call a professional to come to you or order a latch online and do the job yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also try pulling the handle, while the door is still open, and flick the latch upwards to see if that resolves the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honda Civic Door Won&rsquo;t Open From Inside or Outside<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-7-canva.jpg\" alt=\"Hand pulling car door handle from the outside\" class=\"wp-image-829\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-7-canva.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-7-canva-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-7-canva.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Hand pulling car door handle from the outside\" class=\"wp-image-829 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-7-canva.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-7-canva-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-7-canva.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-7\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A door that won&rsquo;t open from the inside or outside is definitely frustrating, especially if it is on the driver&rsquo;s side. The reason a car door will not open both ways is because it isn&rsquo;t lubricated. The latch can produce a lot of friction as the car starts to age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&rsquo;s also possible that something is blocking the latch from operating, so the first thing would be to inspect the keyhole and lock assembly for any debris. If the latch is stuck, but there isn&rsquo;t anything blocking it, try lubricating the mechanism with some WD-40 or another suitable lubricant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the latch becomes stuck is due to rust or damage. However, it will need to be replaced. In the future, occasionally lubricating the latch can help prevent it from rusting and becoming stuck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honda Civic Door Won&rsquo;t Stay Open<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-8-canva.jpg\" alt=\"Hand pulling car door handle\" class=\"wp-image-830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-8-canva.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-8-canva-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-8-canva.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Hand pulling car door handle\" class=\"wp-image-830 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-8-canva.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-8-canva-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-8-canva.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-8\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A car door that won&rsquo;t stay open usually comes down to wear and tear.

To replace this component, the door panel will need to be removed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honda Civic Key Won&rsquo;t Turn in Door<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-9-canva.jpg\" alt=\"Side view of car\" class=\"wp-image-831\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-9-canva.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-9-canva-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-9-canva.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Side view of car\" class=\"wp-image-831 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-9-canva.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-9-canva-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-9-canva.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-9\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If the key isn&rsquo;t opening the door, the likely cause is friction stopping the key from turning; in most cases, you can simply use WD-40 to clean and lubricate the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this doesn&rsquo;t work, however, then having the lock replaced might be necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honda Civic Door Jammed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-10-canva.jpg\" alt=\"Car handle being pulled and door opened\" class=\"wp-image-832\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-10-canva.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-10-canva-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-10-canva.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Car handle being pulled and door opened\" class=\"wp-image-832 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-10-canva.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-10-canva-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-10-canva.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-10\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You should test if all the doors don&rsquo;t open or if it&rsquo;s just one. This is an important distinction as it can help pin down the problem. If all the doors won&rsquo;t unlock, then the issue is probably with the locking mechanism or remote lock feature. If you can&rsquo;t get access to your car, then you may have to call a professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can open other doors, however, then the issue is with the latch itself. Either it is bent, worn down, or completely broken. Either way, it likely needs replacing. A latch replacement can cost you approximately $250, which includes the cost of the parts and labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the door isn&rsquo;t opening from the inside specifically, and you want to take a shot at repairing it yourself, you can do so in a handful of steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Find everything you need to know in a 10-step process mentioned below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> <strong>Check the driver&rsquo;s side door to ensure the child safety locks are off.<\/strong> If they&rsquo;re activated, your rear doors won&rsquo;t open. This issue is often present if you can&rsquo;t open both rear doors, but it&rsquo;s typically not the case if only one door won&rsquo;t open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> <strong>Take the window crank off by locating a screw behind the cap.<\/strong> You can gently pry it off with a flathead screwdriver. If your vehicle doesn&rsquo;t have manual rolling windows, proceed to the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> <strong>Take off the inner door handle by removing the retaining brackets, screws, or locks.<\/strong> Honda Civics typically have screws underneath the bezel, so you can remove them with a screwdriver. Check the cables or rods by the door handle to ensure they&rsquo;re intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> <strong>Remove the screws found under the armrest, both sides of the door, and at the bottom. <\/strong>Set them aside, then take then look for interior damage. Broken components will prevent the door from latching, causing it to stay open or closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> <strong>Slide the panel upward to remove it, unless there are retaining brackets or slots on both sides of the door.<\/strong> Use a flathead screwdriver to gently remove the panel, ensuring you don&rsquo;t scratch or chip the door. Check the manufacturer&rsquo;s guidelines for safety removal details for your Honda Civic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 6:<\/strong> <strong>Unplug all electrical cables and switches. The vehicle&rsquo;s ignition should be off when you do this procedure.<\/strong> If the locks are triggering from the locking mechanism, test their voltage while the ignition is on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 7:<\/strong> <strong>Take off the vapor barrier and carefully set it aside since you&rsquo;ll need it when you reinstall the door panel.<\/strong> It provides insulation and prevents mold and mildew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 8: Check all cables, rods, and retaining clips.<\/strong> Honda uses a lot of plastic for the brackets because it reduces the manufacturing cost and vehicle weight. However, they&rsquo;re prone to chipping on older models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 9:<\/strong> <strong>Open the door, close it, and listen for a click.<\/strong> If the latch doesn&rsquo;t open or make a clicking sound, you should replace it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 10: Replace the vapor barrier, door panel, and screws <\/strong>once you&rsquo;re finished repairing everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Stuck in Door Lock Honda Civic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-11-canva.jpg\" alt=\"Car key stuck in door handle\" class=\"wp-image-833\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-11-canva.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-11-canva-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-11-canva.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Car key stuck in door handle\" class=\"wp-image-833 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-11-canva.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-11-canva-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-11-canva.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-11\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting the key lodged into the door&rsquo;s lock can set you back when you&rsquo;re in a hurry, but there is a technique to pry it out safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For best results, have lubricant on-hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Turn the key to the left and then slowly to the right while wiggling it around while at the same time pulling it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Next, apply the lubricant to the lock. It works better if you have lubricant spray on hand. Now try the above technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> If you managed to pull the key out, apply more lubricant and insert the key. The reason we are doing this is to distribute it around. You&rsquo;ll want to turn the key back and forth to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The common reason for a lock not letting you pull the key out is the mechanism is resisting due to too much friction. In most cases, this will solve the issue; If this only temporarily fixes the problem, replace the lock as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honda Civic Door Handle Not Working<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-12-canva.jpg\" alt=\"Hand pulling on car door \" class=\"wp-image-834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-12-canva.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-12-canva-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-12-canva.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Hand pulling on car door \" class=\"wp-image-834 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-12-canva.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-12-canva-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-12-canva.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-12\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A damaged cable or rod is a common reason why a car door handle isn&rsquo;t working.

As we mentioned previously, the wiring is a major contributor for powered doors being able to function, so if you have a blown fuse, this is the first thing to look into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fuse is a component that converts large amounts of electrical current into a smaller electrical current. Functions, such as opening a door remotely, don&rsquo;t require as much power to be generated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the fuse is taking in so much electricity, a &ldquo;weakened&rdquo; fuse can sometimes get blown. Replacing this part yourself will cost a couple hundred dollars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Honda Civic Power Lock Not Working<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-14-canva.jpg\" alt=\"Car door power lock controls\" class=\"wp-image-836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-14-canva.jpg 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-14-canva-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-14-canva.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Car door power lock controls\" class=\"wp-image-836 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-14-canva.jpg.webp 640w, https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-14-canva-300x200.jpg.webp 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/KMA-Honda-Civic-Door-Wont-Open-Close-Lock-Unlock-14-canva.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-14\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A power lock that isn&rsquo;t working is usually caused by wiring problems, a switch, a solenoid, or general mechanical problems that link to the door.<\/p><p><i>Copyright protected article by Know My Auto and was first published on Mar 30, 2021. .<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing to diagnose is the fuse box since this is where a lot of problems lie, and it&rsquo;s the easiest component to check. Inspect the fuse that protects the lock circuit to make sure that it isn&rsquo;t blown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, diagnose the switches if you have confirmed that a blown fuse isn&rsquo;t the problem. Try to operate every door lock switch in order to determine if the locks are operable with any of the switches. If a single or specific door isn&rsquo;t locking, you can conclude that the open circuit in the circuit between the solenoid and switch is the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can hear a click, but nothing is happening, the issue is likely with the lock mechanism itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should You Fix This?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If the only issue is with the power mechanism, but you can lock and unlock the car manually, it&rsquo;ll be up to you to decide when you would like to repair the part, as it likely won&rsquo;t hinder your ability to continue driving the car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, leaving unresolved electrical problems for too long can snowball into even bigger problems and even devalue your vehicle. To keep your Honda Civic working effortlessly and conveniently, we recommend taking on the needed repairs sooner rather than later.<\/p><p><i>The copyright owner of this article is Knowmyauto.com and was first published on Mar 30, 2021..<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Articles<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/honda-civic-rattling-hood-timing-chain-engine-etc-0052\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Honda Civic Rattling (Hood\/Timing Chain\/Engine\/etc.)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/honda-civic-noise-when-accelerating-turning-driving-etc-0052\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Honda Civic Noise When Accelerating \/ Turning \/ Driving<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/honda-civic-lights-wont-turn-off-brake-airbag-parking-etc-0052\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Honda Civic Lights Won&rsquo;t Turn Off (Brake\/Airbag\/Parking\/etc.)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/honda-civic-brake-light-not-working-0051\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Honda Civic Brake Light Not Working<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/knowmyauto.com\/honda-civic-camera-not-working-0051\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Honda Civic Camera Not Working<\/a><\/p><p><i>KnowMyAuto is the sole owner of this article was published on Mar 30, 2021 and last updated on <time itemprop=\"dateModified\" datetime=\"2023-10-06\">Oct 6, 2023<\/time> .<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While having problems with your Honda Civic&rsquo;s battery and AC are frustrating, there is one thing that we all take for granted, and that&rsquo;s having &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":823,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"disable-in-feed":false,"article-schema-type":"","disable-critical-css":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
