Default Remote won't Lock/unlock door

hey guys,

New here, hopefully someone can identify what's going on with my remote. Its an 05 limited. The car starts and runs no issue, central locking button inside works, and when i press the lock or unlock, the lights even flash, but it won't lock or unlock the doors via the remote. Anyone else have this issue?

Thanks in advance!

The system works via air pressure/vacuum from a pump located in the right rear of the car. You may have a broken air line if the doors are not locking unlocking with the dash mounted switch. The pump (CLP/SSM) is integrated into the security system. You access the pump by removal of the foam pieces and the felt side pieces below the carpet. You could have a internal problem with the siren/alarm in your car. It is part of the security system and preventing you from opening the locks with the remote. It is located under the black plastic cowl under the windshield. Does your remote sound the sirem/alarm when the red button is pushed/ If no then the alarm may be causing your problem. You can discounet the siren and drive the car just fine with no problems, or replace the siren. I have had my siren/alarm discouneted for years and everything else works just fine. You should also check fuse #9 under the hood to be certain it is OK.

Thanks for the reply. The button inside does indeed work. Which is odd. The button works, and when i press the buttons on the fob, the lights even flash, but just the locks don't work when pressing fob buttons.

Check fuse #9 and the siren. Do you have two remotes with good batteries?

I had one fob on my limited that did everything but lock and unlock, I did the fob resync procedure and all was fine.

Yep, usually resync, bad FOB battery or bad contact with the FOB battery.
