Weird issue with key fob and drivers side door internal locks buttons.

[Cursin]

I have a real weird issue that's just seemingly got way worse in the past week.

So for afew weeks now my key fob has been acting up causing me to spam the hell out of it well walking up to my car. ( annoying but no problem really I just assumed either interference or I was to far from the car or something)

Than this morning no matter how many times I pressed it no response well standing right next to the car. I think okay np maybe the key fob battery died. So I manually unlocked my car with a key got in and attempted to unlock the passenger side via the buttons on the inside door. To my surprise those actually no longer were working either. The real odd part of it all and what's catching me most offgaurd is neither of them are broken if I put the key in the ignition everything all starts working again fob and inside door button.

It has me a little baffled as to what the hells going on.

I have it booked in a tToyota for thrusday but the issue is intermediate and generally only happens when the car sits 6 plus hours( I notice it mostly in the mornings after it sat overnight) so I'm a little concerned if they'll even find anything.

Has anyone ever heard of something like this or have any advice on troubleshooting this?. I'm more than afew hours into reading through old threads but nothing seems like a match to me.

Have you put a new battery in the fob?

Does the manual red/black lock switch wiggle at all when you’re pressing the lock/unlock buttons?

If so, the door lock actuators on our cars can fail pretty easily as they get dirty and jam up.

That's the part that's weird to me cause when I turn on the infotainment system and give the car power everything starts working fine. The doors lock with the button in the video and the key fob everything works for afew hours after that as well. It's almost like it just stops getting power for some reason after sitting there off for abit. The battery was replaced last year so I'm kinda at a loss car starts and runs fine.

Will change the battery here in acouple hours in the fob and see if that changes anything. Thanks boys.

I had a similar issue but with the power windows. Driver side wouldn't work but passenger would. Would work when the car was running though. All power seems to run through the driver side master switch including the locks. Replaced the whole door harness then replaced the master switch and that was the issue. I hope this helps a little bit.

Thank you, Seems to of fixed everything. After researching on the forums abit more I found this post thats literally exactly the same symptoms from 2016

In there it says the alarm apparently if its locked with the fob it will only unlock with it thats why the doors interior locks themselves weren't working in the video after manually opening the door interesting.

Thanks everyone for all the input.
