Default Passenger door remote won;t open

My 2000 Passenger door won't open with the remote control. I tried both remotes and re syronized both remotes. The drivers door works and opens fine just the passenger door wont work with the remote. Has anyone else had this problem and does anyone know what could be wrong before I take it to the dealer. Thanks Jimbo

When you say you resynchronized both of your remotes was that by standing close by to the car and pushing/holding the lock/unlock buttons at the same time for 15-20 so seconds until the car beeped or made some noise?

If so there is a procedure to resync via the DIC that is described in your owners manual. This procedure is a little more involved than just holding down the two buttons.

Good luck and hope this helps!

Yes I stood next to the car and press the lock and unlock button until the horn beeped.

The title of your thread title states: "drivers door remote won;t open", and you state in the thread : "The drivers door works and opens fine just the passenger door wont work with the remote"


Which is it?

On? You have three choices: driver, both, or off.

It's not. I misspoke. The setting is for "auto unlock". It's in your owners manual under "Driver Information Center".

Try that setting. I'm not certain if it will have any effect. Also pull your codes.

Are you pushing the unlock button twice? On mine, 1 push unlocks the driver's door, 2nd push unlocks the passender's door.

Do they lock/unlock from the control panel inside the car? If not, then your problem is not in the FOB but in the door control module. I have an extra 97-2000 door control module, PM me for detail.

What he said! Make sure you're pushing the unlock button twice for the passenger door.

I have pushed the remote 2 or more times and nothing, I now think it might be the door control module like Bakersfield mentioned. How hard a job to put a new door control module in. Thanks Jim
