Fob no longer locks doors when arming alarm

I know Tom, just giving you a hard time!

I doubt it's the antenna wire since the alarm seems to be picking up the signal just fine. The doors manually lock okay, but whenever the fob doesn't work, it appears that the inside lock buttons fail also. The weird thing is that both doors seem to be affected equally, but I can't believe that both switches are failing at the same time. Maybe there's a short between them?

OK, stupid suggestion here, but have you checked/replaced the battery in the fob recently? Replacing the battery may be the quick and easy solution. If that's not the problem then you are only out a couple of buck for the new battery.

I figured you were but I was distracted when I replied (visitors in my office asking stupid questions).

How's the baby?

She's finally home from the ICU and doing well. We on the other hand... well let's say sleep is something of a mirage these days.

God bless her little heart ... & the proud parents too.

No suggestions, but I have experienced similar issues. For the last two winters I have had issue with only the driver side lock not locking (but the alarm chirping and the passenger door locking). I have noticed this mainly when it is really cold (say 10 degrees or colder). I haven't done anything to the door to try to resolve it, I just make wishes that spring would hurry up and get here, which it finally has, I think.

Alarm arms/disarms (audible beeps) with each click of the fob, but locks do not, which is why I think it has something to do with the locking mechanism itself.
