Honda Power Door Lock Problem?

My 98 Honda Accord passenger side door won't unlock when I use the power door locks. When I press the button, you can see the tab attempt to unlock/lock, but it barely moves and doesn't succeed. What should I do?Manually pulling/pushing the tab works. The drivers' side works perfectly well.

Your opinion doesn't matter

Several people gave the right answer, but none had it 100% correct. You turn it clockwise to tighten IF you are looking from the pipe into the connection. IF you are looking at the connection, with the pipe pointing further away from you, it is the opposite. At first glance, that may sound stupid, but it is not. There are times when you are standing on the connection side and not the pipe side. There is a special kind of wrench that is best for these fittings. It reduces the chance of damaging the nut. This is especially useful for brass fittings. I have even found it valuable for iron fittings. It is half way between an open end and a closed end wrench. It is called a flare nut wrench. I have also heard it called a tubing wrench. I have used this very sucessfully because it is too easy to warp the nut or similar fitting.
Really the only reason the Shield is losing is because they are breaking up. If they were not breaking up then it might be a different story but that is the only reason.
