My Keyless Is Acting Weird!

[OR99.5Speed]

For the past month pretty much, when I get out of the car and press the lock button there is a 50% chance it will lock and a 50% chance it will ignore me. The unlock function always works though! I can't figure it out for the life of me!

 

Now the lock button is working less and less, and the unlock is now acting up too.

 

Today was my day to drive from Bloomington to Atlanta for Christmas break. I'm all excited to take the trip and go home, and I actually am hoping nothing goes wrong like a dead battery, etc. So imagine my delight when I get to my car in the stadium parking lot, push the unlock button twice like always, and nothing happens. No hazards flashing, no unlockage. Okay, no biggie, I'll just stick the key in the door and twist it manually. WTF!!! Nothing happens, the key won't move right or left when it is stuck in the hole. So I move to the passenger side to try it, and its the same deal. Nothing. I know the locks weren't frozen because it was 45 degrees outside. THANK GOD I have the rear hatch window, so I stick the key in to open the hatch glass and it works. I climb into the cargo area through the window, get my cloth seats dirty and the dashboard muddy. I hit my unlock button on the driver's door and it works fine. WTF??? Neither of my key fobs worked. But later today my main fob worked fine, locking and unlocking. Why is it doing this? I'm gonna go get new batteries for the fobs and see if that works.

odd... battery in one of mine went this week... it was unlocking, but not locking... but I dont think I was having as many issues as you.

 

Meh, for the cost of a battery, worth a try~!

Pezzy, it makes me feel beter that your remote is doing the same thing, I tend to overlook little battery type solutions and tend to think the worst. Can I just get a CR2025 battery anywhere?

 

Also, were my locks frozen? They could have been I guess, but how come the inside switch worked on all of them but the key outside didn't?
