2003 Pilot EX-L Door Lock Issue

My 2003-Pilot now is approaching 60k Miles. The front passenger door lock no longer responds to the keyless remote or the interior power open/close buttons on the driver and front seat passenger doors. The only way to lock/unlock this door is to manually use the latch inside or the key on the front passenger door. This is real inconvience upon leaving the vehicle when trying to activate alarm system.

Note: When using the actual key to lock/unlock the front passenger door, all vehicle locks work as expected. Any thoughts on what is broken. Is this a simple repair?

TIA,

The actuator has seized up due to contamination or it has a corroded ground or corrosion inside it's connector. I don't see any 'door panel removal sheets' here:

could sign in and SEARCH to find detailed instructions on how to popoff the door panel, or just DIY using the CR-V instructions which arehere, under 'tweeter kit':

'll need the exploded diagrams of the window 'guts' fromwww.slhondaparts.com to see which one is the actuator, and you mightwant to order your part from there once you determine if yours is shotor just playing possum.I've removed the 'latch' assembly from a CR-V and it's not a walk in thepark. The return spring inside the actuator was folded in half andjammed. I had the Helms shop manual and it's still a three-handed job toremove. Be especially careful to not change the effective length of therods (by screwing / unscrewing their threaded tips. That said, you certainly can DIY, but check for the corroded connections first. Always look for the obvious problem first.
