Door handle most likely needs replacement. Happens on Keyless go vehicles all the time.

does your key fob still unlock the doors?
it may not be worth the hassle - I had keyless go but deleted it as keys would just grow legs and walk off.

Yes the key fob still works it’s just the remote keyless entry on my driver side doesn’t always work

Do you mean the Keyless Go does not work on the driver door? The feature where you touch the indented pad on the door handle? Does this feature work on all other doors? If this doesn’t work on the driver door, the door handle needs replaced.

Hello,
Was this issue that you were having apply to both handles (front and rear) on the driver's side of the truck? If so were you able to resolve the issue?
Thanks

Hi it’s Just the driver side door handle that sometimes works or doesn’t work I just learn to live with it. It’s a cheaper solution lol

If your driver side rear door does not get much use like the front, you can swap the handles. Certainly not a fix, but temporary relief till you replace the handle. I have the same problem and just reach to the rear to unlock/lock. I should have switched them in the summer as my rear doors aren't opened that often.

My situation is a little different. Both my driver's side front and rear handles stopped working at the same time. They will both unlock from handle but won't unlock when the black button on the handle is pressed. Both buttons are very stiff and won't move when pressed which I find to be so odd.
