If 1 of the 2 doors are working then it's got to be the door's actuator, not your key fob.

Can you open both door locks from the inside cabin switch?

After replacing the fuse in the immobilizer both doors will lock using the key and the inside cabin switch.

What! Really?

That fuse powers the entire unit. If the fuse was bad, none of the Immobilizer functions of the car should have been working. Strange.

I wasn't there to see what happened, but I can suspect that it was really a bad connection from the harness to the control unit.

While you were changing the fuse the connector "re sat" perfectly again getting everything to work properly.

Anywho...everything is working again. Good job!

Thanks for your response ECU Doc. You're probably right about the connector being reseated. However, while the door locks and dash button work, the key fob still does not.
