Passenger side door not unlocking

Well it started friday, first I thought I wasn't pressing the fob right, but now it totallly doesn't work. I press the unlock button once to unlock my door and another time to unlock the passenger side. but it no longer works. Also when i get in the car to use the unlock on my drivers side door it takes about 5 trys to unlock it. WTF gives??

But what about when trying it from the unlock switch on the door. ??

Oh. Yeah it sounds like the actual switch in the door might be broken.

Try a new battery. More times then not the problems with remote controls is a weak battery.
Good Luck

Since he tried it inside the car ... how could it be the remote's problem? Re-program or changing the battery wouldnt help ... and I doubt that it has anything thing to do with the switch.
Nova, Take it to the dealer ... I think it either the relay or the switching mechanical.
