Hey sup all,

This morning getting out of my car and locking it I noticed that my car didn't beep. On my remote no matter how many times I hit the lock button, it doesn't lock. Checked my trunk and doors and made sure they were all closed properly. I also went inside my car and tried to hit the lock button on the toggle and this also doesn't lock. Now this is a very peculiar thing because I have no problems unlocking my car from my remote or toggle button. Now in order for me to lock my car, I have to manually press the locks down, which gets very tedious sometimes lol.

I'm just trying to rule out some problems. I'm gonna check the fuses when I get out. But..
1. Since the car unlocks from my remote, I don't think my remote needs to be reprogrammed correct?
2. Wouldn't a door lock actuator also regulate the lock button as well? Shouldn't the fact that my car unlocks already rule out a faulty actuator?
3. If the problem were to be a blown fuse wouldn't the power locks just not work period?

Did a lot of research, but I'm just trying to rule out the problem. Any thoughts? Thanks a lot!

Yep definitely sounds like the actuator, I had the same problem on mine. Was a little tricky to install but not terribly hard if you take your time.

Weirdest thing too. When I just went to go to my car to check again. The car would now lock from my remote as well as now locking from the inside. I don't consider this problem fixed but what does this mean in terms of the culprit?

I also forgot to say previously, that the car would not lock from the passenger side lock/unlock toggle button as well.

Did your door just fail to lock on the driver side? Mine seems to not be locking from both sides. Would this mean I replace the lock actuators on both doors?

No-- it means you'll have to troubleshoot and see if it's a problem with the MICU before throwing money and parts at the car.

It was only my driver side, but if the driver side was unlocked I could use the remote to unlock all the doors, if it was locked it didn't work at all
