2005 Honda Accord my driver's door will not open from the inside.

Hello, I repaired this issue for my father in law last night, funny enough. The handle is connected to the door lock actuator (which is the entire latch assembly/lock) by a cable. Normally, the cable is not the issue, but the door lock actuator is damaged internally. Especially if you hear ratcheting sounds when locking the door with the power lock button, I would immediately suspect the door lock actuator. Without looking at it, I would fulle expect this to be the issue, and with a 2005 model, the part should be economically priced. You may find one with the entire assembly: door handle, door lock switch, lock assembly, cables. That would be certain to correct the issue.
