Keyless remote
Disconnect the battery from your car (negative cable only) overnight. Make sure you have your radio reset code before doing so.
Then reconnect after 10 hours, and make sure you have remote handy as alarm may go off. Then if that doesnt fix it, go to driver door, then insert master key, pull up on handle first all the way and hold it. Then turn the key slowly all the way so the doors unlock and continue turning the key. This will reset the central locking system as yours may have gotton stuck. then remove key let go of handle, open door and try to lock and unlock doors from switch inside car.
Then try remote. It should work, this is what the dealer will do and charge you about $350...if it doesnt work order a new remote b/c yours may have become damaged by liquid or dropping?
Have a great day,
Thanks,

Seat motor
I got the same problem whit the Passenger Seat. After perform a Diagnosis to the Electrical system and confirm every thing was right (fuses and voltage on the harness going to the seat) , I had decided to remove the Seat, then disassemble the side panel where the Activation switch is located and I have found the problem was the button was worn.
The easiest solution could be replace the switch , in my case I was able to repair the button by opening it putting some Tin solder on one of the internal traces and replacing one damaged micro spring.
I would recommend to replace the switch.

This is a problem with your fuel mixture, it is getting too much oxygen. It could be a problem with a vaccum leak, fuel filter, fuel pump, or fuel injectors.
A good way to test vaccum leaks is to: start the engine, spray carberator cleaner around the vaccum lines. if you suddenly hear a difference in the engine (RMS shoot up) then not only have you figured out if you have a vaccum leak, but you also know where it's at. Carb cleaner is basiclly a potent fuel so you'll hear the engine run stronger if sprayed directly into the vaccum line.
If you dont find that it is a vaccum line, I'd clean the fuel injectors and replace your fuel filter. If this doesn't fix your OBD problem, then it's still good to know that they are nice clean and new, neither are real expensive either.
If you dont like to keep your car full on gas, it is most likely your fuel pump. The pumps have to work harder and harder with the less and less gas you have in the tank. Also, if you have a standard tranny you are more likely for the fuel pump to go out because the revs are higher.
Let's not hope it is the Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF) because they can be costly and a pain to replace.
