Door Locks/TPS
My passenger side door will not lock or unlock via of keyfob or switch on door panel. Someone said I needed a door actuator? Also my tire pressure sensors are reading reversed. Left is right and right is left.
Is there a way to reset these to read correctly. Thanks,Sam

For the TPS, try relearning them to the car. Easy to do with a magnet.

Yea, you probably had your tires rotated lately and now you do need to retrain each TPS. Easy to do and I believe the procedure is listed in your owner's manual. Someone may jump in with the write up too.
As for your door locks, I did a write up some time ago that addresses exactly what you can do to fix that yourself. If you're not any good with a soldering iron, let me know and we can work something out. Read this thread... http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1606865
Good luck...

The doorl lock modules are well known for being unreliable. The relays are cheap and tend to stick. Just out of interest, when you hit the fob do you hear the door lock module click but it doesnt move the door lock switch? If so, try rapping the door about 2/3 of the way down. Its probably a sticky door lock relay and a sharp rap may free it off. If it does, it'll probably work for a while but its only a temporary fix. When this happened to mine I had the module replaced under warranty.
Bakersfield is the Forum guru on door locks so you have the expert on the job. He'll walk you through a fix.
On the TPSs, I suspect you had new tires fitted and the tech put them back on the wrong wheel. As suggested, because the tires are fitted to rotate in one direction you cant just swap sides. Rather than refit the tires to the correct wheel, the easiest option is to reprogram the sensors. I've attached the procedure for reprogramming the TPS below.
Best of luck
Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensor Programming
The Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system interfaces with the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) through the serial data line. Once the program mode is accessed through the IPC, each sensor's unique identification code can be programmed into the receiver's memory. Each sensor must transmit the unique code in the proper sequence. A magnet must be held close to the sensor in order to force the sensor to transmit the identification code. The IPC will display a message as each sensor is programmed, and when to proceed to the next sensor for programming. The receiver also sends a message to the BCM to sound the horn one time, indicating that the sensor properly transmitted an identification code. If the programming sequence is cancelled before any sensor is programmed, or if the vehicle's battery is disconnected, the receiver will remember all current identification codes. As soon as the receiver learns the first sensor identification code, all previously stored codes are erased from the receiver's memory.
J 41760 Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) Programming Tool.
Tool required (any medium strength magnet, U or Disk type
1. Turn the ignition to ON.
2. Press the RESET button in order to clear any IPC display warning messages.
3. Press and release the OPTIONS button on the DIC to scroll through the display options until the IPC display is blank.
4. Press and hold the DIC RESET button for 3 seconds.
Notice: Refer to Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration in Cautions and Notices.
5. Press the OPTIONS button again until the TIRE TRAINING message appears.
6. Press the RESET button until the IPC LEARN L FRONT TIRE message appears in order to begin
the programming sequence.
7. Install the J 41760 Tire Pressure Programming Tool over the left front valve stem.
8. The horn will sound, indicating the left front TPM sensor is programmed.
9. When the horn sounds, proceed to program the next TPM sensor in the following order as directed
by the IPC messages:
- LEARN R FRONT TIRE
- LEARN R REAR TIRE
- LEARN L REAR TIRE
Programming Cancellation
1. The programming mode will be cancelled if any of the following conditions are met: - The program mode is exited through the DIC.
- The ignition is turned to OFF.
- All four sensors have been programmed.
- The TPM system has been in the program mode for longer than 2 minutes and no sensors
have been learned.
2. If the program mode is cancelled with less than four codes stored, the receiver will only accept the codes programmed up to that point
