Doors don't UNLOCK

1) I can lock it with remote but it won't unlock. (I hear some sound trying to unlock it)

2) center dash button doesn't work to lock or unlock.

3) I opened the door with a key, sat inside and locked it with remote. I Can't open the door using inside door latch. I had to open the window and unlock it with a key while sitting inside. Am I stupid? some people say you can open it manually by pulling the latch but it doesn't work when it's locked.(It feels like it's pulling nothing. When it's unlocked, then I can feel it's pulling something)

4) fuel door is locked too. trunk opens fine with a remote.

5) checked fuse 57 (it was 20amp. previous owner replaced it?) and other ones but it seems to be ok.

Any recommendations? If the center locking mechanism is broken, I am not sure how I can still Lock the car?

It started Working again. This happened few times and I got it to work just by turning the car on/off. It was taking forever today so I thought it finally failed. Now I don't know what to fix. That is the problem........

Anyways, I made a discovery? If you lock the car using a center button, you can manually open the door by pulling the latch. But if you lock it with a remote while sitting inside, pulling the latch won't work. So if you want to kidnap some bitch, make sure to lock it with your remote so she won't be rolling down the street trying to escape from you. LOL

Can anyone help please. Now it works and doesnt work constantly.
I had to let a girl get in the passenger seat through driver side door...and as soon as we were leaving, it started working again...

It must be some electrical module issue...

That sounds like your door lock actuators are failing. There is kit that has both front actuators that you can buy for the less than the price of one. I can send you the part number if you like.

Quick side note: Fuses either work or they do not.

I was going to say, actuators or a fuse if it's all of them at the same time.

There are 4 door lock actuators in sedan? All doors don't work at the same time. Does that mean there is one device that controls 4 actuators might be an issue if there is such thing???
