Automatic Door opener not working
Well I got the car out of storage yesterday. It started right up but I always put a Trickle charger on it while it sits.
The only problem I had after the car sat from the middle of November till yesterday was I tried to unlock the doors with the key fob. They both didnt work. Well I went to the drug store and bought 2 new batteries alter and tried them again and nothing. The back lid wont release, the doors wont lock or unlock and the security horn does nothing. I locked the car when I put it away with the Key Fob and it worked fine.
Does anyone know if there is a fuse or something that I should look at?
I appreciate any feedback.
Thanks!

I had a similar problem after the car sat for a couple of weeks with the passenger door lock
Would not unlock with the fob but would lock. Long story short played with it for awhile with the fob no luck
Worked the lock back an forth several times manually an it started working
I'm thinking it may be a lubrication issue.
I do live at the beach (ocean type) so even in a sealed climate controlled garage WITH a cover on, corrosion/salt film happens, so I'm sort of used to these things
I may try some LPS spray lube when I get a chance

if resyncing the fob's by holding down the lock and unlock buttons at the same time for some 15 to 20 seconds does not work I believe there is a retraining process you can do through the DIC.
