Hey all

Used to be able to grab the door handle and the doors would unlock. Stopped working a couple days ago. Replaced the key fob battery but no change.

Anything obvious I'm not aware of?
 
Does anything feel loose in the handle? Or is it all still snug?
Does the passenger door sensor work?
If the passenger door sensor works, then you may have a bad sensor in the drivers door. If neither sensor work, then it may be a computer setting or a module when bad.

I'm betting (Wiki) Acrad will know which module it'd be.
 
Mine did that one day a few weeks ago. Just for one day. It was weird. Didnt change any setting and didnt change the key fob battery. Hasnt done it since
 
Mine unlocks when I get closer to it with the fob in my pocket. But when I touch the front area to lock it, it literally takes six or seven seconds to lock. I'm always standing there thinking it didn't "take".

Edit, or maybe it's just the light that comes on when I get close?

When I go to lock mine it does the same as yours but I am now getting a message on the dash that my FOB battery is low. I'm going to change it out to see if that doesn't fix this issue.
 
Thanks for the suggestions.

Not sure what to look for in the infotainment system but I haven't made any changes.

Neither handle unlocks.
The touch to lock on the handle is odd as well - there's a long beep like a door is open. But no open door shows up in the display. I've also opened and closed all doors to "reset" it.

The rear door lock button also does this.

When you get the long beeeeeeep, is your sunroof open?

I was wondering about your statement of it unlocks as you get close. It should be the lights come on. And as a side note, I put a new battery in the fob and it locks much faster when I touch the handle.

So I messed around with this last night. The puddle lights under the running board come on with proximity of the fob to the truck. I have to stick my hand near the handle for the rig to unlock. I can do this by sliding my 4 fingers held close together between the handle and the door without actually touching the door handle. Usually though, I just grab the handle and it unlocks before I can even pull it. I don't have to touch in any particular location.

Exactly how mine works.......
 
Do you by any chance have a fob left in the vehicle?
