Default Locks..

I had a few problems with the locks on my sc.

1st is that with the remote, the car could only unlock and won't lock back with the remote. I tried the key slot under the steering wheel, but there's no difference.

The thing that's bugging me right now is suddenly this morning, the passenger side simply wouldn't lock. I can unlock it, but I have to press the unlock, lock, then unlock button until it finally unlocks. Other then that, it moves, but not completely

any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance

try touching the key to a metal part of the car and see if it locks and unlocks properly, if it does you need to fix the connection inside your key itself (the key is actually the antenna).

also you could have an issue with you passnger side door lock actuator.
they don't fail like that too often, but they are complicated mechanisms where the rod usually breaks which wont let you open the door. the lock mechanism is a different part of it, but if someone was in there and bent something it could explain why it doesn't operate smoothly.

I tried putting the key by the handle, but still nothing . I remember reading about the actuator and ill read more into it and see whether that's the case
