My car "locked" me inside yesterday. I was unable to use the unlock button on my car door, I had to manually unlock my car. And later when I left to go somewhere, I was not able to unlock my car with the keyless entry, I am now forced to use the key in the door. I checked the fuses and they are all good. And then when I left, my car usually locks all the doors at a certain speed, but that is no longer happening either. When I try to use my keyless entry it makes a weird beeping noise that it never made before. But the lights flash like they used to. About a week before this happened, my "security" light came on the dash, but it was tried to be read by a computer reader and nothing came up. My radio and heated seats all work. Neither my passanger or drivers unlock buttons on the door work. My husband says it must be a wire problem, that is why I put the category as electrical, but inorder for him to work on it he wants to have a little bit more of an understanding about what is going on and where to start. Please help, I don't like being all "getto" and having to use my key to unlock my door.

i would suggest taking it some where and having the BCM scanned for trouble codes. Sounds like something in the BCM (body control module)
