Need help with weird key fob problem

So I'm having some trouble. My key fob works but it will only lock and unlock sometimes. The lights will flash that let's me know it's getting signal but only 1 out of 10 try's will the doors lock or unlock.

The door pad does the same. It works manually. I tried reprogramimg the fob but it didn't work.

Anybody know what to do? Thanks.

Do the locks work if you use the lock button on the door? If they are intermittant from there also, the problem would not be with your fob. Might be a poor ground on the control side of the lock solenoids.

Good question. They work fine.
