you replace the battery in your key fob? often this can be from lower battery power in your key fob also if i remember correctly if you double turn the key its supposed to put hte windows down. don't quote me on that last one :P

WE HAD A NEW BATTERY PUT IN THE KEY FOB ABOUT A MONTH AGO. I STILL WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY WE CAN'T LOCK THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. THE KEY WILL NOT TURN TO THE RIGHT. THE PASSENGER SIDE DOO LOCKS AND UNLOCKS OK.?????
your door lock is probably jammed or seized up. Spray some wd 40 or release all(use a rag or paper towel under the door lock to catch the access ) and spray it in the lock, leave the lock for 15 - 30 minutes repeat. Then stick your key in and out about 10 times to loosen it up and twist the key back and forth till it frees up.
