    Having some issue with power windows here and door locks

    Doors unlock from passenger side, but not drivers.

    The keyfob (neither one) locks or unlocks doors or the trunk anymore
    (but the remote starter does)

    And the windows, I put two on drivers side down, shut car off, got gas,
    got back in and the windows would no longer go up.

    Are the issues related??? and why would the remote car starter remote
    lock/unlock but not the original keyfob?

    I haven't used the starter since the winter, but after the windows
    started acting up I tried it... works fine

    All 4 power window fuses inside the car are good...

    the 50A under the hood has yet to be checked... but does this even
    explain the keyfob door lock problems???

    Thanks for any input

    Have you changed the battery recently?

    in the car or the fob? I changed the fob battery just because i was
    out and thought that might be AN issue to one of the problems, but the
    car battery has been 2 years.

    Oh, I meant the car battery....for the windows, sometimes the full
    open and close positions need to be reset...the only thing I can think
    of is some sort of bad ground somewhere...Tegger's site has a listing
    for random electrical issues, though I don't know how well that fits
    your issues. http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/faq_ii.html#badicu

    My first suspicion would be the control panel in the drivers door or the
    drivers door wiring harness. The aftermarket unit ties into the system
    inside the passenger compartment, usually to the control wires behind the
    drivers side kick panel. COuld also be related to those wires being
    lose/damaged depending on how the starter installer wired things.

    Well thanks for the tip on the control panel...

    i popped the few clips holding the plastic cover that the master switch
    unit is screwed to off, and if you can IMAGINE... the thing was unplugged.

    plugged it back in, works fine

    i was taking it out with the thought that i would order a replacement!!

    Wonder what the dealer would have found for a problem had I taken it there!!

    Anyway, thanks, wouldn't have looked there if you didn't mentioned it!

    No worries. I used to own a shop doing such installations and had to repair
    many a "do it yourself" job in my day.
