Be sure you don't have a spare fob in the trunk. Cars will not let you lock with the "keys"in the car. My wife would try to lock her purse in the trunk to avoid carrying it and we had the same thing.

Get a readout from the ODB bus to see which, but it could be: -The transistors (solid state relays maybe) for locking are ready to replace. -Cable breach or waterlogging somewhere from that lock module (that also makes noise) to the door solenoid bits. Salted up connector at firewall, maybe? -Time to lube the lock; it's having to push hard to lock it, but unlock has a priority because you want to be able to escape your car. -Just a bad or worn door switch, claiming overtight closure. (If the door were just open, that beep doesn't happen, right?) -Door seal actually out of spec (collapsed, say,) keeping the lock from lining up right.

SOURCE: 99 4-runner limited-power door locks dont lock, but will unlock

I have found a ridiculous solution for this door lock issue. As many people have mentioned, it does involve the control panel under the driver side dash. I noticed that if I pushed the control panel/fusebox in while working the key fob and/or door lock switch, IT WORKED! So, my silly solution was to insert a t-ball (regulation size) between the fusebox/control panel and the paneling closest to the driver on the top side of the fusebox. IT WORKS!!

Glad I didn't spend $500 for Toyota dealer to fix.

Hope my son doesn't miss his t-ball!!

SOURCE: 2006 Toyota Corolla. The driver's door won't work with remote.

the actuator might have been disconnected from the lock, its attached inside the door, with a metal rod that clips into the actuator, check it out, might be a easy fix, good luck and god bless, please rate me!

SOURCE: can not lock car by key remote . toyota rav 4 53 plate

If your car has an alarm with a separate remote, it is a separate system and it is probably self-arming. When you lock the doors with the key central lock, the alarm gets armed by the RAV4 being OFF and the door locking action. When you unlock the doors with the key, the alarm is still armed because the key is not comunicating with the alarm just the cars factory keyless system.

Reset computer

If you pushed the car by the door itself or swung the door open hard, you could ha e stretched the door harness and pulled wires apart. There is a little accordian styled boot that 'protects, the wire loom leading to the driver door electronics. I wonder if you have noticed your alarm horn doesnt beep when locking the doors from the remote. Or you can only lock and unlock the driver door only from the driver door. If thats the case there may be an open in the wires leading to the door lock actuator; which controls things like lock/unlock functions of all doors and windows, door warning lights, etc. Have the harness repaired

Lock function works but lights do not come on and horn does not blow when lock or alarm buttons are pressed on the remote.

try this one. hold both lock and unlock buttons for about 10 seconds. the truck should beep and the light should flash twice. that switches alarm modes from quiet to loud/on and wiseversa.( hope i spelled that one right).

Instrument lights, remote door lock, inaction!

That sounds like a faulty connection that's been giving you little warnings for a while.

Likely only a loose connection in the circuit that's associated with both the dashboard instrument cluster and your keyless remote.

Doors wont all lock at the same time on my '95 saab 9000cs. i have to manually lock them individually. My dashboard lights flicker, sometimes the lights will stay on and sometimes i have to tap the switch...

When you use your remote or insert your key in the Drivers Front door all the door locks should work at the same time by the door lock motors electrically. If you have to manually unlock the door because it will not lock or unlock by the lock motor, you need a door lock motor. The drivers and passengers front doors can unlocked with the key manually only. The rear doors you have to pull up the latch. 
If NONE of doors unlock electrically with the remote or drivers door lock, intermittently or all the time, you will need a Central Locking Electronic Control Module. Pressing the remote button you will hear the "beep", but no door locks will fire at all. 
If you have a few odd door locks not working intermittently or not at all, you will need a new door lock motor for each door lock that malfunctions. You can hear if the door locks are working electrically. Yes, they are common problem. 
If you can hear the door lock motor working but the door still doesn't unlock you need to take the door panel off and lubricate the door latch assembly and work the lock, loosening it up. This is common as well.
Sometimes a bad door lock motor can blow the central locking fuse. You will notice it because it will take a second or two longer to lock and unlock compared to the others. If the door lock motors seem fine, install a the next step up in amperage fuse. (From 15 AMP to a 20 AMP)
