Keyless Go Issue

The Keyless Go function on the left rear door isn't working. The door won't open when I pull on that door handle and pressing the square button on that door handle results in no "beep" or locking. All other doors work fine, and the batteries in both key fobs are pretty new.

Is there some reset feature or is this something that requires dealer attention? If so, any idea what the cost might be?

If you search the forum, there's a lot of possibilities, but the most likely problem is that the door handle is no good and you can buy a new handle and replace it yourself. It'd be nice if someone could figure out how to repair the old door handle, but I haven't seen a thread of that yet. I think the part ranges from $155-$200 depending on the color of the car. The cheap possibility is that the connector in the door handle is a little corroded and you might be able to clean off the contacts and it might work again for a little while. The dealer would be able to tell you if it's the door handle or if some other part is bad, but then you'd have to pay for the diagnostic unless you can find someone local who has an SDS system.
