keyless entry problem 98 civic

Is that a factory or aftermarket system, and if aftermarket did it ever unlock the passenger door? sounds like it might be miswired.

Mike

it is factory and it worked for up until a few months ago

Unless the lock controller has a weird problem, I think there is something telling it not to unlock the passenger door - maybe a child safety lock. A careful reading of the owner's manual may have the answer to that.

Since you probably never use the key in the passenger's lock, it may just be stiff / dried out. Go to a hardware or locksmith and get a small aerosol can of LockEase and HOSE the inside of all five key locks on your coupe. It's graphite, so expect the keys to be messy for a while. Wiggle the key to 'massage' the propellant and graphite deep into the mechanism (include the trunk, ignition, and glove box)

I've done this on every used car I've owned, and it cures / prevents lots of problems, especially when the remote is used almost exclusively.
