| Description of the problem | The drivers side door would not open either with the keyless remote or by pulling on the door handle inside the car (the windows were down so i could reach inside) i had to open the passenger door and climb across the seat to get into the driver's seat. The button between the seats to unlock all of the doors also failed to open any of the locks. The hazard light switch beside it still worked, so i know the problem isn't due to that faulty switch. This door locks returned to normal after driving the car about 30 minutes and it hasn't yet returned in the five days since. |
