Default I couldn't open doors with remote keys

Hi

Today I had weird problem.
I drove to the shop, I closed doors with the remote key without problem, and after about 1 hour I couldn't open it.
The remote key was blinking as it should, but car didn't react - no sounds, nothing.

I took from home second key (for sure good one), but I had the same.

I opened door with key, of course alarm was screaming I could star engine, open windows etc.
I started programming keys, but after about 2-3 minutes problem disappeared.
Both keys started working fine. Now everything is ok, but I would like to know what happend, to avoid the same in the future.

One question: when the doors are locked (from inside, from driver's side) is it possible to open the passanger's door from inside?
I'm asking because I couldn't...so I expect maybe a problem with the passanger's doors mechanism?

Any idea appreciated.
Thanks.

Karolgt,

Is maybe your passenger door actuator or your ecu that start going bad. Something easy that you can do is, open the passenger door and if the light inside car (the roof) no turn ON, your actuator is bad. Also, you can do the same with the other doors to check yours others actuators.
