After getting the Ruby back on the road for the summer I have noticed something strange that it never did before. Say I have the doors locked, and my remote does not unlock the doors ( the drivers side moves to hard for it to unlock or lock by the power locks, but getting better the more I lock it) Ok, so I unlock the drivers door with the key, get in and close the door. When I close the door the passenger door will unlock. Is this normal and I just never noticed it before? Or do you think that I have a bad connection in the door?

I guess no one know's if it should do this or not. I did figure out that it only does it if the key is in the ign.
Ever since the motor mods I have a habit of starting it with the door still open so I can hear how great it sounds. So I'm thinking the unlock deal is as it should be.

May be your passive keyless entry is freeking out. Follow the instructions in the manual & shut it off. If the PKE light on the DIC does not come on when the ing switch is turned on then the system is off.

I think that it's doing what it should. If the key is in the ignition (not turned) and you close the doors the doors will unlock. Kind of nice to know that I can't lock the keys into the car that way.

I think odd locks / alarms are standard on C4 'vettes. This is what mine does: Open the drivers door. Open the passenger door. Close the passenger door. Start the car = alarm.
