I have the same problem. My passenger door will lock but not unlock with the fob or button in car. This doesn't happen all the time.

Someone help us.

There is a control module in each door that contains the relays.
Two relays control the lock/unlock and there is one for the window.
The relays can be purchased thru DigiKey corp. They aren't expensive.
Plus the specs are better than the originals - they should last longer.

Sorry, I don't remember the part numbers...

I have a link to an old how-to post, but it doesn't seem to work anymore. Says I don't have permission to access it. I guess they moved it to some sort of archive.
It's a shame, that was a great post and I think it should be a sticky since there are so many posts about this problem.

Here's a similar thread that still works and might have some good info on how to replace the relays, etc.
