About a week or so ago, I went to unlock my car with the key fob, and the unlock button wouldn't work. Also, the trunk wouldn't pop.

I assumed that the key fob battery was dying, and put the key into the lock and went on my way.

Later that day, I went to unlock my car with the fob, and it worked.

This has been acting this way for the last few days. I figured I just needed a new battery.

Then, the other day my wife was needing to get into the passenger side. My key wasn't working (again), so I unlocked the car, sat in it, and hit the unlock button on the door. nothing happened. I kept pressing it, and it wouldn't work. I turned the key to the "ON" position, and the unlock worked.

SO, that is making me think the failure to unlock has nothing to do with the fob, but rather the unlock mechanism itself? Has anyone else experienced this, where the unlock doesn't work until you turn the car to "ON," and then it works perfectly fine?
