It sounds like there could be a few potential issues causing the doors on your 2008 Honda CR-V not to open manually or with the lock buttons or fob.
Firstly, check if the child safety locks are engaged on those doors. Sometimes, accidental engagement of these locks can prevent the doors from opening from the inside.
Secondly, the door latch or linkage might have a mechanical or electrical issue.
Over time, these components can wear out or become misaligned, preventing the door from opening. Something may have become jammed or stuck within the mechanism.
Another possibility is an electrical issue with the door lock actuator or wiring. If the actuator fails or has a wiring problem, the door lock system may not operate correctly, preventing the doors from unlocking.
The diagnosis may require manually removing the door panel to inspect the latch mechanism and check for any obstructions or signs of mechanical failure.
If you're uncomfortable doing this yourself, you should take your CR-V to a qualified technician for a thorough diagnosis and repair.
They will have the expertise and tools needed to properly diagnose the issue and get your doors operating normally again.
