Key fob no longer chirps
I've got a weird one guys. A couple of days ago my key fob stopped chirping when I pressed the fob twice (the car acknowledged the lock command as the vehicles lights flashed and the key fob's LED lit up). I was a bit surprised so I stood and looked at my lock (drivers) and noticed that only it did not lock. The rest did. I locked the car manually (key) and left.
After leaving I returned and found I could not unlock the car with the key fob. I had to manually unlock with the key. Again, the lights on the vehicle flashed as if acknowledging and the LED lit up.
I'm using the TL Switchblade, so I decided to try my old key fob (maybe bad batteries in the switchblade fob). Nope. Old transmitter doesn't work either; same thing, lights flash on vehicle but driver's door does not lock or unlock.
Anyone have an idea on what happened? Can't think of anything I did recently which may have caused this.

I have the TL switchblade key and my key had NEVER chirped. My car beeps, but not the keyfob itself. I didn't even know that it would do such a thing. That would get annoying for me...I'm glad mine doesn't do it.

It does not chirp. The car chirps, not the key fob.

If the doors are not all locked then you won't get the acknowledgment from the security system. So you won't get the honk/beep nor will the parking lights flash. This happened to me when my driver's door actuator died.
