When you manually lock the car, do the instrument cluster and the interior lights turn off? If so, I have the same problem. However my car will generally lock after it sits for a day or so. After 30ish minutes of drive it’s back to not working. I replaced the passenger lock assembly, but no luck.

wow

so somewhere i had read if you turn the key five time to the right (locking side ) then back to center/mid sometimes it will reset the system it WORKED .. IS WORKING

have you try that ??if NOT give it a shot - as far replacing the passenger side lock I had also read about that not convince that would be the fix .. also disconnecting the battery for a few minutes

if you have Durametrics or can get your local fellow member that has it you should able to pull any faults in the system
