Locked myself inside my 2013 FR-S again today
 
Parked and turned the motor off after arriving @work. Was doing a few things and then tried to open the door to get out and realize I had locked it on the way to work - not unusual. Pressed the unlock button on the drivers door - nothing. Pressed it several more time - nothing. Started the car and the unlock button on the drivers door works again. 2nd time I can remembering this happening. Kinda freaky being locked in. Fwiw, the unlock button on the fob didn't have the same issue.

Anyone else? Fix available?

Maybe your fob battery is dying and the car isn't sensing it anymore.

locked in? Wait.. why didn't you just flip the lock mechanism with your finger?

does the fob work to lock the car?

Sadly this isn't the first time I've heard this happen. Our future is looking bleak.

Do you not hear any noise when you push unlock? No answer for you, but probably a short or something? If it doesn't work on either side, it has to be an electrical issue from the switch maybe?

I keep one of these on my keychain. Has a seatbelt cutter and window popper outer thingy.

Given the shift to fully electrical systems, it probably should be made standard.

It cost $3.

I actually installed one of these in my car, every car should have one. Even if electronics don't fail us, there's always the mechanism itself that could fail, or an accident that prevents the door from opening.

You have a manual lock in there....

You know you can physically flip that little red thing... right?

....

Not to take over OPs post, but... I want to say that I've noticed it on the door handle before, but you showing me a picture, now I'm not sure I knew that lock was there.

When OP wrote the thread, I was thinking back to the locks that pop up, and was certain there was no other way to unlock the door.

All this to say that I've had the car like 20 months and this feels like new information.
