welp did that and found out even when hitting the door switch the passenger doesnt lock for some reason???

any ideas? also how do i take the door panel off to see what is up? :mad

 

try locking and unlocking the doors using the drivers side door switch taking note as whether any action is taking place at the passenger door..lock. I find that in my car if I do not use the lock unlock mechanism, it doesnt want to function unless I cycle it a few times a month.

 

tried that and still no movement :(

 

I can't help you with taking the door apart, but I had a similar problem. The passenger door worked intermittently. The dealer replaced the passenger door mechanism twice, but that didn't fix it. They finally replaced both door switches on my last visit. That fixed the problem. My opinion was that it was the drivers door switch that was the problem. Good luck.

 

I had exactly the same thing happen. It turned out to be the door control module.

 

yup, DCM needs replacing. You can buy the part and swap it yourself very easily. Well, very easily once you get the door panel off.

 

I just got mine back for the same thing! Must be a design flaw. :eek:

 

for the door panel removal take the open handle cover off then go from there to easy also did you disconect the battery before you retrained the FOB to aloud any malfunctions to go away? just a try if that wont work it got to be the the door control module.. good luck partner :seeya

Remote Keyless Entry System Check




Circuit Description
The Remote Keyless Entry Diagnostic System Check is an organized approach to identify problems associated with the Remote Function Actuation (RFA) system. This check must be the starting point for any RFA complaint, and will direct you to the next logical step in diagnosing the complaint. The RFA system and the TPM system use the same receiver. Therefore, when a Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) system malfunction occurs, all diagnostic information (DTCs, input data, etc.) must be accessed through the RFA system. Understanding the RFA/TPM system and using the tables correctly will reduce diagnostic time and prevent unnecessary parts replacement.

Diagnostic Aids
The following conditions may result in an intermittent operation of the RFA system with no DTC stored:
Any condition which results in the interruption of power to the receiver
Weak or rundown battery
Out of range battery or ignition voltage Specification
Normal battery or ignition voltage: 9.0-16.0 V

A loose or damaged ground(s)
An open or shorted serial data line
An intermittent malfunction in the electronic system may be very difficult to detect and to accurately diagnose. The RFA tests for different malfunctions under different vehicle conditions. For this reason, a thorough test drive is often needed in order to repeat a malfunction. If the system malfunction is not repeated during the test drive, a good description of the complaint may be very useful in locating an intermittent fault condition. Faulty electrical connections or wiring causes most intermitting problems. When an intermitting condition is suspected, check the suspected circuits for the following conditions:
Poor mating of connector halves or backed out terminals
Improperly formed or damaged terminals
Wire chafing
Poor wire to terminal connections
Dirty or corroded terminals
Damage to connector bodies
