Can anyone tell me what has happened to make my door locks suddenly
essentially quit working? When all doors are unlocked the remote will
only lock the rear passenger side door and then will not unlock it.
Neither front door button will lock or unlock all the doors and
nothing but the key will lock the trunk. The only unusual thing I can
think of that has happened was hauling a large foam sleeping pad in
the trunk that required stuffing in and slamming the lid. I have
looked for any problems with doing that and can't see anything
vulnerable in the trunk. All doors lock fine with their buttons so I
can still lock it up but sure do miss the automatic system.

Thanks---Jay Hale

As a first - and very cheap - possibility, you could try changing the
battery in the remote. Given what you say about the front door buttons
not locking/unlocking all the doors, it sounds as though a new battery
might not cure the fault, but at the price, it is worth a try.

I replaced the battery in the remote w/o any change. Studying the
circuitry has made the system less mystifying but still less than
clear since it is not obvious what could be wrong that would cause the
symptoms I am seeing. So, now that life has slowed back down and I
have time I'll look for physical damage to wiring and maybe fix it for
free.

Thanks for your reply---Jay
