07 Honda CR-V - Central locking problem with rear doors - CR-V - Bill Blackman
After five years trouble free use, a (hopefully) relatively minor electrical issue has now arisen; the rear doors cannot be opened from the inside - both can be opened from the outside. I assume this is an electrical fault, not a mechanical one, as it affects both rear doors. Front doors OK. I have scanned the manual and tried various on/off combinations with the central locking switch, but nothing has helped so far. Everything else seems to work. Any ideas/suggestions recieved with thanks.

Are you sure someone has not changed the child proof lock setting?

I am sure the rear inner handles are a mechanical link to the door lock, rather than electrical.

There are two small levers on the inside of rear door flange, check they are in the correct position.

Red face time, you got it Julian, many thanks.
I really should've sussed that one myself, but the car's been so 110% reliable that even after 5 years I still don't really know it in detail.
