| Description of the problem | I was inside my car in a parking lot and the electric door locks failed to unlock the doors. The switch on the dash would unlock the doors nor would the remote. The door handles inside the car would not open the door either. Luckily i remembered that if i held down on one of the buttons on the remote control the windows would open. I then had to climb out of the window. The temperature inside the car was more than 100 degrees. This is a very serious problem. If i had not had the remote, i would have been trapped inside the car! |
