Changed the battery on 98 Accord. Disconnected about 1 hour while cleaning cable terminals. Hooked everything back up and now the power door locks are electrically inop (can manually actuate but nothing happens when any door switch is actuated). Is there a "reset" procedure that needs to be done? Thanks!

Wiring diagram is different. What do you have? EX, LX with or without keyless entry?

Found It! Per Honda Service Bulletin 99-022."Right Side Windows and Door Locks Do Not Work" after battery power to the multiplex control unit has been interrupted.

Corrective action is to perform "multiplex control unit wake-up procedure".

Procedure:
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Turn the windshield wiper intermittent time ring to the middle position.
3. Turn the ignition switch ON.

That should do it. If not, it's broke!
