he said both the door buttons don't work and the transponder doesn't work. i don't see why we need to immediately delve into advanced canbus coding techniques...

start simple first. every tech manual should cover this.

we need to figure out why the door buttons don't actuate the door locks. for that, we only need a volt meter. hell, use a test light.

he was on the right track checking fuses first, now that he verified the fuses are good, we're moving on to other potentials. in this order, there's could be a wiring/connector issue, a switch issue, a solenoid issue, or finally a programming issue. there could also be an issue with all or none of them at the same time.

but there's absolutely no reason to jump to the bottom of the list and troubleshoot the computer code without first verifying the mechanical and electrical parts tying the entire system together are in good functional order first.

the fact that the car flashes the lights when a transponder button flashes means that the transponder is correctly synced to the car. the fact that the door buttons don't work means that there's something else not working beyond computer code.
