Remote Entry issue

XectriK · April 13th, 2010, 08:35 PM

I noticed a problem with my keyless entry this week. In the morning when I leave for work I press the unlock button and the car unlocks like normal and I go to work. I get to work I lock the car and it does what its supposed to do. In the afternoon when I'm leaving I'm strolling up to the car I hit the unlock button and it'll unlock the passenger door but not the drivers door. I have to use the key in the door to get in on the drivers side.

Would someone like to explain whats happening and how do I fix it? I wanna believe its something more complex then the battery in the remote. Why does it work in the morning but not in the afternoon? Answers people I need answers!

Prolly the lock actuator starting to take a dump on you. At first theyll start to work/not work randomly then eventually take a crap and not work at all.

I don't know shit about my door locking mechanism. Is that just power lock related or will the key stop working as well?

Lock related on that particular side.

Simple way of putting it. Its the little motor that moves the lock mechanism up and down when you hit the button.

Id just keep rolling with it and see if it gets worse and what not.
