Default Unlocking and Locking Issues on 2004 Crossfire

I have a 2004 Crossfrie.
The inside central locking system on the console locks all of the doors and trunk.
When I use the key to lock the car only the drivers door locks not the trunk or the passenger side.
Also, I can not get the original key fobs to re-program after I changed car battery and batteries in fobs.
Any help would be appreciated.

That does not make sense. When you hit the "lock" button on the key fob, EVERYTHING locks.
You can program the system such that one press of "Unlock" gets you:
1) Driver door unlocks, and second press unlock everything else.
or
2) Everything unlocks with first press
... but I know of no option to change what "Lock" does. The only think I can think of, is to disconnect the car's battery ground cable for 30 seconds and re-connect it and try again.

Also, I can not get the original key fobs to re-program after I changed car battery and batteries in fobs.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many have had this problem, and it often turned out to be that:
1) They put the wrong batteries in, (use CR2025s)
2) or they put the batteries in backwards, ("+" goes in facing you)
3) or they put only ONE battery in (it takes two)
4) or they broke off the little tab on the side of the battery compartment that contacts the top battery's shell.

Once you verify 1 to 4 are not an issue, use only this procedure:

The Remote Keyless Entry Transmitter(s) can be programmed by the customer without special tools.
PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE

Transmitter programming by the customer is done by performing the following steps:
  1. Insert the key into the ignition switch.
  2. Press either the lock or unlock button momentarily twice.
  3. Turn the key in the ignition switch to the ON/RUN position within 30 seconds.
  4. Turn key off and remove key, get out, close door and try "Lock" and "Unlock" functions...

No the key fob does nothing at all.
The locking button inside the car locks all the locks.
Trunk, driver and passenger door.
When I use the key in the drivers door to lock the entire car it only locks the drivers door. Not the passenger or trunk.

Ok, got ya.

I think that is normal. I"m 900 miles from my car right now, so I can't go check for you, but I THINK it is normal that the key only locks the driver door.

I do know that unlocking the driver door with the key does not activate the central locking pump, and I doubt it's any different when locking with the key. I know it seems odd, but it is my understanding the little electric switch in the key lock only tells the security system that a key unlocked the door (so do not set off the alarm) but it does not activate the locking pump.

In any event, once you get the FOB buttons working, it won't matter anyway!

That statement is wrong, using the key locks or unlocks all the locks.

I agree. I just checked my '05 and the key locks or unlocks all the locks.

There was a thread back in 2019 that ala_xfire suggested checking Fuse 9. The response was "Thank you, replacing fuse 9 ( 10 amp) solved the problem for me, now both key fobs will remotely lock / unlock the doors."

Here's a link. See Post #10 and Post #13. I don't know. Maybe it's a long-shot, but it's easy to check Fuse 9. According to the manual, Fuse 9 handles "Roof Light, Horn, Anti-Theft Alarm, Cargo Lamp and Tire Pressure Control".

That was on my first to do list today was to check that fuse.

Checked Fuse # 9 and it was intact.

Still on the chase.

Do you have the owners manual, it shows what fuse does what.
Also the connection between the door lock and the switch that operates the car locking system may be missing, did it work before.
The fuse for the radio signal receiver from the fob is #35 (?) on the ‘04s it also controls the tire pressure system and others but as you have not mentioned them I doubt that is the problem.

Not trying to be a pest, but did you check Fuse 9 under the hood? The other Fuse 9 is the interior fuse which controls the fog lights...as you said in your post before you edited that out.

I just went out to my '05 and pulled Fuse 9 under the hood and duplicated your problem. The lights immediately came on. Probably something to do with the anti-theft system. They went off after 30 seconds or so. But I duplicated your originally stated problem of the key fob not locking/unlocking and the key in the door not unlocking the passenger side. I put Fuse 9 back in and everything worked normally.

Here's another thread that seems to have the identical problem that you stated. Again, it was Fuse 9 being blown by a leaking alarm siren battery.
Look at Post #22 for the solution. Here's what the fellow from the UK said:
Ha!

Well I finally pulled my finger out and had a look today.
My suspicions were correct. It was the alarm siren - has a dead short internally.
Disconnected the plug, replaced fuse 9 and back in business.

Just need to get a new siren at some point.
Good job I had a small puller as well, the wipers were stuck fast!!

I have not used the car in a bit.
Although this problem started before I stopped using the car.
I checked #9 Again (under hood) and its fine. I also know its fine because it showed my tires were low and I put air in tires and lights went out.
The panic button on my fob does nothing.
No alarm sounding.
Both of my fobs are original, and both have new correct batteries in the correct + up position.
So, the alarm siren can affect this circuit?
Where is that located?
Thanks for all the help!

The alarm siren/module is mounted center under the wiper cowl.
Clean out all the debris while you are at it.
( you may need a puller if you can't rock the wipers off )

Thanks for double-checking the fuse #9. I'll let the top experts here jump in. I think you've eliminated a number of things.

In your first post you said "The inside central locking system on the console locks all of the doors and trunk." I think that's a good clue.

I don't know if the alarm is the cause of your problem or not. But, here are a few pdfs from the folks here that will show you how to get to it. My own experience is that it's tough to get the wiper arm off of the splined shaft. I didn't have a small gear puller or battery terminal puller or whatever it's called. (I've got one now!) You could also type this into google and get a number of threads concerning the alarm:

You have two problems to solve. Try to solve each problem on its own otherwise you will be running in circles.
Key does open door.
Remote does open locks.

Double check what fuse 9 is labeled on your card inside the fuse box. Each car produced has it's own fuse card even if they are both a 2004. I compared a 2004 built 6 months before mine and the fuse card is different. The owner's manual will not necessarily be accurate only the card. Hopefully your card is still there or did not get wet.

Remote does open locks.
Key opens and closes drivers door but does not close of open passenger door or trunk.
Key fob does not work at all (except for the key to start car).
Pushing panic button does not do anything. It's suppossed to set off alarm, correct?
Button on center console does lock and unlock all the doors and trunk.
All lights, interior and exterior work.
Thanks to all for trying and get me through this.
Tire pressure monitoring does work also.

How do we know that the fobs are working? You have the correct batteries in the fobs and installed correctly?
Did you have both problems before the car was put away?
