Keyless Go problem, anyone?

Whenever I park my car for more than say, 15 minutes, I would have problem opening the door with Keyless Go. Some time it works, and some time it doesn't. But after I open the door once, it would work subsequently without problem.

I took it to the Dealer and they use the computer diagnostic to check, but the reports says "Keyless Go - OK".

Does anyone else have the same experience?

The fault you report is not clear.
- Wont open because the door does not pop out
- Wont open because the door handle does not funcion.

Would probably cause the same fault. To validate your concerns would you consider say opening the passenger door first for a 48 hour period and dtermining if it is a door problem or a system problem.

My opinion is that you have a fault in the lock / handle / door controller or wiring harness. Most likely the handle or the lock. Since the lock is not directly connected to the KG network of modules then it would be unlikely that scanning the KG would reveal a lock fault. IT is a function that needs to be tested on its own.

Is it possible a passenger is pulling on the passenger door handle just before you pull yours? Whenever my wife does this, I can't open my door, and she can't open hers. The door handle I am next to must be pulled 1st. I tell her not to pull on her handle till she sees the courtesy lights go on!

Barry is probably right. I had the same problem till I figured out my wife was holding the passenger door handle. Also if you have the auto trunk closer you have to wait until the trunk is completly closed before opening your door. Pat
