You may have to get a fob re program done, you will require both fobs, and a scan of the PATS system will also help show any fault codes that may be a problem with actuators being faulty.

Hello,

If i can jump in here I have seen where the drivers door latch micro switch wears out causing the problem you have described. I would try replacing the latch which the switch is internal.

Below is a guide to help you get the job done.

Check out the diagrams (below).

Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
