Door lock not opening.
Sometimes when I remove the key from the ignition, the passenger door doesn't unlock automatically. Even pressing the unlock button doesn't work all the time. The key fob sometimes works, other times it doesn't... What to do?

If it only works intermittently from different sources, I would think the door lock actuator was going bad, from moisture, bad connection, etc.
Pull the door panel off and check it out. If the linkage is not binding, I would just replace the actuator.

Do a search. Plenty info on replacing the unlock relays. I replaced mine, which exhibited the EXACT same behavior as your is now. Search the archives for my name, and you'll get threads complete with instructions, part numbers, pics, the works. DigiKey sells the relays for $1.35 a piece. Stealership wants $500 to replace the door control module.
