IMPORTANT: Before entering programming mode, have in possession all of the transmitters you will be using on the vehicle. Once you program the transmitter, all previous codes will be erased from the memory. The other transmitters will not be functional until you program the transmitters again.

1. Close and lock all doors with the driver's side power lock/unlock switch.
2. Insert key into ignition and remove it from the ignition key cylinder at least six times within 10 seconds. Your Hazard Lamps will flash if you have performed this step successfully. NOTE: Withdraw key completely from ignition cylinder each time. If this procedure is performed too fast, system will not enter programming mode.
3. Insert key into the ignition cylinder and turn to the ACC position.
4. Within 5 seconds, push ANY button on the remote transmitter. Your Hazard Lamps should flash. NOTE: Do not press the button more than one time in the above step. If the button is pressed more than one time, the programming procedure will not be successful.
5. If there are any remaining transmitters (including the old ones), unlock then lock all doors using the driver's side power lock/unlock switch and within 5 seconds, push ANY button on the next remote. Your Hazard Lamps should flash. Repeat this step for each transmitter (including any existing transmitters).
6. Turn the key to the OFF position, remove keys from the ignition,
   unlock doors using the driver's side power lock/unlock switch and open the driver side door.

It may be that water/moisture has gotten in behind the door panels...do you notice that it worsens in damp(er) weather? The car unlocks by itself if you leave the key in the ignition and you try and lock the doors.

Or somebody has the same coded fob (unlikely).

You might want to reprogram the remotes if you determine that the area behind the door panels is dry and there are no corroded wires, etc.

SOUND LIKE WIRING PROBLEM TO POWER WIRE SUPPLYING POWER TO BOTH WINDOWS.ANYTIME YOU REPLACE REMOTE KEY BATTERY THE DEALERSHIP HAS TO REPROGRAM REMOTE BEFORE IT WILL WORK.

more than likely the lock solenoid in the driver side door is not working. it located near the latch inside the door.

If the key doesn't work on the driver's side door, then the vehicle had the driver's side dor replaced, and whomever did the repair, failed to remove the door lock assembly from the old door and swap it out with the "new" door. This only happens when the door is taken from a wrecked vehicle and used as a replacement. You do not get doors from a factory with the lock assembly in place.

Take the vehicle back to where you had it repaired and tell them that it is thier fault that your vbehicle remote locking system fails. They did not set up (adjust) the switches correctly.

remove the switch assembly from the drivers door and look for a broken ground.

the solenoid on that door is either shot or something wrong with the wiring..possible it has a fuse for each door but doubtful

Remove the door panel and reconnect the plug going to the front driver door lock or, if you can hear the motor trying to engage the door lock cam when you press the lock/unlock remotereconnect the door lock lever bar

hi there you say you have had the lock changed do you mean the key hole or the door closure part of the lock?
if you changed the key part its the main lock that's faulty and the reveres is true ,
if the remote is working on one door it is not the remote that's the problem.
i hope that this has been helpful regards John
