    The actuator yes, the power door lock control module not so sure. For Now when you get the door panel off, take a picture of the actuator before you go any further because we, and anyone else in here needs to get our bearings. Plus we can walk you through a little better.

    Okay, I got the door panel off (driver side) and there seems to be 3 wires descending from the lock/unlock switch. One is black and runs somewhere to the center of the door inside the plastic covering with a whole bunch of other wires. There are also to green wires (one with red and one with white) that lead to the off white box (door lock control) in the north east corner of the door. I wanted to wait to see what you said before I ripped off the plastic covering.

    Shouldn't I be looking at the passenger side door since that's the one that's broken? Just asking because I have no clue if there is another control box or actuator on the passenger side door.

    Anyways... Here is some pics to help you better grasp what I'm seeing here..

    Here is the lock/unlock switch with the black and green wires..

    Obviously an overview of my driver side door with the panel removed..

    [​IMG]
    This is the door lock control box that the (2) green wires lead to.

    And this is where the black wire leads to... this jumbled mess here in the center under the plastic covering that I want to make sure I should dig into before I make the mistake of doing so without need.

    Thanks so much for you help tyrant and the rest of you guys.

    with power locks, the driver side has a master for the power locks. on the passenger side there is kinda like a slave for the power locks. that's what your going to have to change. they are relatively cheap to change. Happens in my brother's CRV all the time. don't know where i found them online before but i think the part is like $10 to $15.

    There is your answer right there, thanks cullen, I aint too familiar with hondas. That will save you some time.

    Cullen has a point too, one way you can look at it is that in almost everything such as power locks, they are intertwined, and if two out of four work, it likely isn't going to be the wiring.

    You could also get the part cheap from a u-pull but you never know the condition of those.

    And basically those other jumbles that run back into the door... are the ones that are going to be connecting to the slave. I think...

    Okay so I take the passenger side door panel off expecting to find this "slave" for the power locks. What I find is an empty hole! I don't know if something is actually supposed to go there but I'm guessing there was something there previously due to the plastic covering ripped away from that spot. I also spotted a connector between two wires that seemed to have literally burnt out.

    Here are some pictures to better illustrate my findings.

    [​IMG]
    Here is the unplugged connector that leads to the power window switch.

    [​IMG]
    Here is the empty hole where the "slave" is probably supposed to be.

    [​IMG]
    And here is the connector that nearly melted the plastic covering off when it short circuited or whatever it did.

    Hope this helps you guys get a better grip of where I'm at right now. Thanks so much for your help.
