remote door locks not working

I have a 2003 F350 and the key fob works correctly when the door is open(locks/unlocks) but when the doors are shut...the key fob does nothing. The button on the door sorks fine. I am going to put in a viper remote start but figured I better get this working correctly first.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Are you trying this with the truck running? Certain years did not allow keyless entry when the truck was running.

No, when the truck is off. Strangest thing, as long as any door is open..they work. As soon as I shut all the doors, the key fob does nothing. Even get the horn chirp..but the door has to be open.
I did turn off the autolock feature but it didn't work right before I did that so I don't think that has anything to do with it.

Mine just started doing something similar today, it's an 02 F-250 4x4 Supercab 5.4L. As of today, the remote does nothing. The locks operate normally with the door switches but the remotes are dead. I changed the battery in the remote, and checked the related fuses but my remotes do not work with the doors open or closed. Any ideas?
