Door locks problem with one door drivers door

When i open the doors by using the key fob, all doors open except the drivers door. I have to open that door from the inside and then all doors work as normal until I use the key fob to lock the doors all doors will now lock except when i come to open them only the drivers door does not open. I can open the drivers door by using the key put into the lock of the door and by turning it, however now upon locking the doors with the key fob only the drivers door doesnnnnot lock. I must lock the door with the key for to get back to the same situation where all doors willl lock with the key fob but only one door will not open with the key fob. How do I cure this problem.

i have a renault megane 2000 model diesel turbo

all doors was operating correctly until we let someone take it home for us and the idiot instead of using the key fob to open the drivers door he used the key when all doors were locked. Since then I am left with this problem

    Old post - but new answer for others searching.
    I just did this today. After you battery is disconnected your problem happens. The fob needs to be re- synced with the vehicle. Have your driver's door open and disconnect, then reconnect the battery. Close your driver's door and put the key in to lock it. As you turn it to lock, push the "lock" on the fob and hold for 5 seconds. This resets. My window controls also needed to be reset. While driving just hold them down for until they go. Do this on all of them twice and they should work.

When i lock al my doors on my 2004 Chrysler pacifica from my keychain all doors lock except for the driver door. The alarm is still activated but if someone tries to open the driver door it will open and...

This can happen If you have used the IGN. key to unlock the drivers door after you locked them from the fob. This can also be caused by a stuck button on the drovers door. Check the drivers door all buttons to see if any are stuck. If you do not have any stuck buttons. Try this, from inside the car, with out the car running, use the button on the drivers door to "lock all doors". Then use the fob to unlock them, then get out and press the lock button on the fob twice real quick. This should cause the drivers door to lock as the others. Hope this helps Fix Ya Up.

Key fob only opens drivers door

hit the unlock button twice. most fobs are programmed so you hit it once, drivers unlocks, and again for all the rest.

2000 Windstar - key fob works for all doors EXCEPT drivers door. Key also doesn't work in drivers door.

The door locking mechanism and actuators are the most likely issue here. Very unliekly that the key fob is the problem. not sure about he problem with the drivers door lock, could be dirty, damaged or not the original that matches the key. have you tried graphite?

Front door locks on a 99 passat

You have the wrong KEY if it won't turn any locks.
You can use the KEY fob from another Passat.
The one you have was most likey not the original
and the car was reprogrammed to except that FOB.

The Fuse panel Is inside the DRIVES side.
Open the Driver door. Look at the side of the DAShboard.
THat Giant "B" Shapped plastic cover pops off.

Check the fuses...IF any are broken,black or no good.
REplace them

Hope this helps
