Door Lock
Anybody have a problem with either one of their door locks not unlocking when you use key fob. It will lock the door but will not always unlock it. The problem is only on the drivers door. I have to use the key in the door lock to unlock the door sometimes. This problem is not constant.
Thanks

Yes, I've had this problem. Dealer replaced the door control module and it was fine for awhile. Now it's starting to do it again.

Oh! Man something else to look out for. I wonder if it's a grounding problem. I think I am going to check all my grounds before it comes off the jack stands. Being a plastic car if the grounds are not in good shape these types of things can start happening. My .02

I had a similar problem. The drivers door would not lock with the fob - only with the key.
The dealer replaced the door lock module.

I see the general opinion is that it is the door lock module. Does anybody know how much the part would cost? I have an extennded warranty but it comes with a $100.00 deductable. If the part is more than that I will let the dealer fix it.
Thanks for all replies

"Found low voltage from door module to actuator on unlock circuit 294. Replaced left door module."
Hope that helps.

Went searching the forum and found this little jewel: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show...hlight=key+fob. In it Bill Curlee posted some images from the tech manual and some pictures that he took showing the ground points for the keyless entry system. I followed his instructions and bingo! Both key fobs worked again. Haven't had any problems in about a month now and it only cost me my time. Good luck!
