The door locks dont unlock or lock the door and the remote also doesnt seem to lock or unlock the doors anymore. This problem seems to occur every so often then it "fixes' itself. What do I look for to fix this problem? This is a 98 accord LX, 4 door. Thanks.

Sounds like a stuck relay.

you probably have a frozen door lock actuator and will need to replace it.

it is not the actuators, try a different remote, you may have an issue with the car security system/body computer not functioning on the unlock driver door command, one press of remote is unlock driver door and 2 presses is unlock the other doors.

If you are pushing the "lock" button just one time, you are locking ONLY the drivers door. Pushing the "lock" button 2 times in succession will lock ALL doors and sound the horn once letting you know the vehicle theft deterrence is active and all doors are locked.

Hold down the "open" button on your remote and simultaneosly pull the inside handle of that door open. I just had the issue with my driver's door and as my son tried to "help" (he's 9), one of the passenger doors also got stuck! After not finding a non-tech response, played around some until the the dran latch obliged on the front door. Repeated on passenger door and whew! :-)

Did these doors quit at the same time or over a period. It seems that the actuators for the locks have gone bad. With the mentioned doors, that's a lot weight for the actuators to unlock and pop open. With the remotes and console not working , that's more reason to think the actuators are the problem.

i had the same problem on my accord 98 coupe 98.
and one day they stop working. i changed the engines of the locks and now the doors are working gr8!
hope it helps

cheers

sounds as if the linkage has come undone remove the door panel and inspect if so simply insert back into the hole it should line up to the lock and insert it a plastic clip will lock it back onto the rod if not present it may be at the bottom of the door if you cant locate it a parts store will carry them .reverse procedure to reinstall door panel

fuse 56 and 57 control central locking,the issue is caused by surges typically in the front door lock actuators, normally at a dealer they would replace fuse 56 and 57 with a 20a mini fuse and if still occuring repl the door lock(s) that dont work or typically both front, first replace fuse 56 and 57 with 20a fuses as were too small from factory and than operate ten to 15 times, if it doesnt work at first dont panic,let the car go to sleep which takes about 16 min and than try again this problem has nothing to do with the key fob or the lock unlock button inside,also the fuses are located behind the glove box just rere the access panel and they are found at lower left section
