SOURCE: won't open my door when

can you manually unlock the lock and open the door?? Is it more than one door or just one specific door? If its just one door, yourcactuator inside the door may be bad or you have a wire issue. If its all the doors, more than likely you blew a fuse or a relay(id say fuse)

SOURCE: Just replaced the battery, now the car won't

You most likely have an aftermarket fob and remote start unit.What is the brand on the back of your key fob?You will have to get the proper reset and registration procedures for the particular unit installed in your car to make your key work normally.

SOURCE: Windows won't go up our down power door locks

My first concern is that if these things are all just now happening at once, your battery may have become so weak, it's just unable to fulfill your request...

I would highly recommend checking all your fueses as well as any Maxi fuses under the hood, not just the fuses panels under the dash... If your'e lucky a fuse may be sitting tilted in the socket or simply burning out.

It could be helpful to know if anything has been done to alter teh cars wiring, such as a new stereo or speakers or amplifier being installed as it may have been done improperly. That is to say if this is a recent problem that has begun to happen, or each of these things have been going out for awhile...

I'm sure many will suggest you may have a short in your wiring... That may be true and can be a long tedious task to track down and isolate...

So, I strongly urge you to consider a NEW BATTERY. Clean Battery Cables, making sure there is no corrosion (That could cause all these things) And be sure to check all fuses. That means pulling them and visially inspecting them to make sure they are not burnt or broken.

On that note, I have replaced fuses that looked fine and the problems went away... Keep in mind how some if not many or even all of those are possibly 10 years old... They are a cheap fix... Even if you replaced each and everyone.

If you have a Keyfob that is not unlocking, locking arming the car whatever, Consider also changing the battery in it at a minimum of once a year. I think it is recommended every 6 months. But that is usually dependant on use.

If all the fuses are good and you have installed a new battery and these things are not working, you could be looking at the actual window lift motor going out and even the door lock switch burning out. Some things you can have tested and others are typically cheap enough to replace. But I would investigate looking into these, having them tested, prior to chasing a fantom wire short, which may or may not be present at all...

Even buying a second hand part at a U-pull it can be quicker, cheaper and easier verification process than chasing a short which may not be...

Good Luck to you and Happy Motoring...

Respectfully

1990 Audi 100 key won't lock or unlock doors

This is usually caused by broken plastic parts in the lock system. The best would be to verify and lub all locks and check out the elecrical.

Help! My 2009 Dogde Grand Caravan's key can unlock/lock the doors but won't start the ignition nor turn on lights, radio or lower windows. What do other owners or mechanics think it might be?

Your style of key is a Security style. Mine on my 05 Caravan retailed over $100. Thankfully the place I purchased it from took care of the cost. If you have another key that has been working try it. If it doesn't work I'm sure the Dealership will be able to help you. Look in your owners manual to see if there is a fuse that controls this.

My key won't unlock the door on kia sedona ex

If the key turns but does not unlock the door then it is a linkage problem between the lock tumbler and door lock mechanism. If the key does not turn at all, then it will most likely be a problem with the mechanism. Sadly both of these will require removal of the door panel. If you dont feel comfortable with this then take to a reputable shop

2000 cadillac deville driver side won't open with the key

1) Key turns but dose not unlock door. This means that the rod that goes to the back of the lock has came off. This also means that is the reason door is not unlocking with the remote as it pops the lock rod inside the door which pushes the lock open.
2) Key does not turn lock at all but works passengers side door. This means that the locks has been changed in the door, but that doesn't sound like the problem as you say the remote doesn't open the drivers side door so more than likely the rod has came off the back of the lock

The doors will not lock or unlock from the door but will from the remote?

The title suggest the door won't unlock unless the remote is used but during the summer it was the inverse. If while inside the car the doors will not lock or unlock from the door but will from the remote then you have a faulty switch.If while outside the car the key turns while in the lock but the door won't lock or unlock then the linkage at the end of the lock is faulty. You'll need to remove the door inside plate to check this.

I changed the key batteries for my 1999 BMW 323i after they died. Afterwards the remote unlock and lock won't work, the car also won't start but it can turn over/on and the radio and the lights...

stick the key in the ignition, turn it to the on position, remove it within 5 seconds, then hold the unlock button down and press the lock button 3 times within 10 seconds and release both buttons. The doors should lock/unlock to give you confirmation and your key should work.
