problem solved. I took apart the housing of the lock switch and the unlock side was bent and not making proper contact. All that inconvenience for that little problem.

Thanks

 

are the child safety locks on ?

 

My guess is that the push button switch in the front door handle/s need to be cleaned (electronic contact cleaner) or replaced. Perhaps more than once a drink got spilled on it.

I'm also guessing that it is housed in a easily removed plastic insert so that you don't have to remove the entire door panel to gain access to it.

 

The child safety locks seem to do what they want when they want. I have to repeatedly turn off the child lock on the passenger door. Inevitably it will engage again at some point. Would they have anything to do with the power door locks??

 

The child safety locks only affect the rear doors, (and are child proofed independantly of each other) and when activated, you can not open the rear door from the inside.

Your post sounds to me like the rear door unlock buttons work, but the front door unlock buttons do not work.

 

the doors should unlock when you pull the handle unless the childlocks are on in the rear.I am sorry i must not have read the question properly.

 

yes, the child locks work fine except when the passenger side decides to lock istelf intermittantly. None of the power buttons unlock the doors, front or rear. Only the remote will unlock the door. Someone on another site suggested that maybey the contacts aren't clean on the main switch and that it could use some contact cleaner. I will try this sometime today and see what happens
