try swaping the lock relay with each other ,and see what happens .there are 3 lock relays over the drivers side wheel well. open the jack compartment and up over the wheel well you will find the lock relays .see if they all operate ,place your hand on each and have some one operate the switchs and remote .one relay is for the drivers lock and one is for all unlock and the other is for all other lock. in front of the relays is the remote anti theft personality module (rap)
