Do you have any DTC codes displayed in the DIC?? Do the locks work when you try to use the FOB or the switch on the doors??

If the ground to the door module or the door module were bad, the doors would not work with the other devices. There have been several forum members that have had similar issues but also have other symptoms. One possible source of the problem is your ignition key cylinder switch. When that switch inside the ignition switch goes bad, the BCM doesn't know that the key has been removed, thus the sequence of events that happen when you remove the key, doesn't happen. Some of the things that you will experience when that switch goes bad are:
Door open chime/key in ignition occurs when the key is removed.
If you have the memory package, the seat fails to retract when the key is removed (if memory is turned on.
Give that idea a thought and let me know how you make out.
