I managed to lock myself out of my 2003 RSX yesterday when I took only the fob with me and used it to lock the car, only to return an hour later and have it not work. It was raining, too. :mad:
I've done some searching and reading on this helpful forum and have a guess, but I would still value some confirmation from you knowledgable folks.
My questions are:
Thanks so much in advance!

- Remote won't lock or unlock doors and hatch
- Remote will set off Panic Mode and show a red light when pressed
- I tried changing the battery in the remote -- no difference
- The interior door locks will still lock/unlock the doors
- I had a prior issue on the driver's side door where the lock would not lock/unlock without a key. That was fixed over a year ago (but I don't recally what it was)
- I've read a handful of posts here that reference the actuator as the likely culprit
My questions are:
- Is it likely to be the actuator?
- If so, how do I know which one? (Driver vs. Passenger side)
- If I'm not overly inclined to DIY, is it worth just taking to my mechanic to get it fixed?
Thanks so much in advance!
