I greatly appreciate your time to read the following car symptoms I'm having. Recently in the last week my 2013 Honda Pilot EX-L 4wd with around 56k miles now out of warranty started to intermittently make noises from the rear driver side power door lock when car got around 10mph. This happened while both increasing speed or decreasing speed, but always around 10mph. Today that same rear passenger door will lock with the remote and interior power door switches, but won't unlock with remote or power door switches. The lock does function properly when switched manually and the door opens.
Is it likely just the rear driver side actuator or something more like the multiplex? All other power door locks are currently functioning as expected. Only the power door lock on rear driver side is acting up. The car has never had any aftermarket enhancements, but I did have to get new battery at 39k miles due to bad cell in original battery. I'm also original owner and car is garage kept.
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2013 Honda Pilot. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
Actuators can fail in either direction (lock - unlock) .. Will work fine one way but not the other ..
Suspect failed door lock actuator - *hands-on* testing is recommended.
Thanks that's reassuring! Would you recommend duralast part through autozone or just order OE Honda part? Both look like will run around 50 to 60 after tax and shipping.

‘Recommend’ OEM parts - however if truth be known - probably same manufacturer - for this particular part.
