Everytime I use my keyless entry it doesnt unlock. It flashes and chirps like it did but the doors are still locked. The only way to open is to use the key or keypad on the side of the door. When i get inside when I hit the unlock button it doesnt always work. Also when I lock it from inside I have to hit the button twice for them to lock. Its weird because It works fine somtimes but more times than others it doesnt. Any ideas?
Both of mine gave out at once, first the passenger door wouldn't lock or unlock then the drivers. Works fine unlocking with the key, but the power motors dont seem to have enough umph to lock or unlock. Guess it's time to change them out. Weird how they both went within a week of each other. I cant imagine what else it would be.
Sounds like your in the market for 2 new actuators, in my opinion dont buy them aftermarket because you will be replacing them again more sooner then later.
There is an extensive thread I ran into yesterday that shows how to bypass the thermistor in the actuator that usually causes this issue. It will save you $50 per actuator if you're mechanically handy.
