Default Power Door Locks?

Hi, I recently purchased a 2002 s2k silver/red. I've been wondering where the Power Door Lock switch is located (if there is one). The Honda website specs include Power Door Locks.

Thanks.

The only door lock you have is the ability to lock the passenger side when you lock the driver's side. In order to unlock the passenger side from the inside, you can either reach over, or hit your key fob.

The power door locks are a bit strange in the S2000!
It's basically for the locking/unlocking from remote entry function.
From inside, you can ONLY lock both doors by locking the drivers side only! You cannot unlock both doors by unlocking the drivers side.
Yes, I know, wierd and inconvient!

Thanks for the quick reply. This forum is great! I guess Honda might've forgotten to put the driver's side 'unlock/lock' door switch that are found in other honda coupe models (accords, civics). Thanks again.

i have no idea why they want to leave the power door lock button out?!

maybe the power door lock button adds too much weight to the car ...

I keep telling you guys, Honda didn't leave out the power-LOCK button, it is there with the driver-door lock. You lock the driver's door, it locks the passenger's door under power. It is the power-UNLOCK button that is left out.

With all the great engineering in their cars, the engineer in charge of power door locks should be replaced. One of the very few things I disliked about my 1994 Civic was that there was only a door lock switch on the driver's side. All I could figure was they thought that feature would make you upgrade to an Accord. Yea, right!

Surely they would have corrected that mistake by now. Nope. New Civics still have only one switch. The remote makes this less of a problem, but it still strikes me (an engineer) as a poor design choice.

So the S2000 configuration came as no shock. (BTW, how many new Honda owners were never instructed in the magic procedure to lock the doors with the driver's door open? I've taught this to a few people.)

That's the thing - they *do* give passengers that control in Accords! If you want that switch, you have to buy an Accord.
