Keyless Entry Not Working
My keyless entry is not working properly. I don't hear the beep, and the drivers lock does not lock. It locks when I use the key, but not with the remote. Ocasionially it works fine, and then it does not. What's going on?

I don't know the symptoms of what happens when the battery goes. If that is what it is, I will change it. Based on the symptoms I described, is that what happens when the batteries start to fade.

I took my key to a watch repair shop to get the battery changed, but the man couldn't get the screw out. o_0 0_o
It looks at oxidized and stuff. How am I supposed to get this done? I don't want to break the screw.

Probably need a door actuator
Does the red light blink on the key fob when you hit it? If so the battery is more than likely good...Next time it doesn't work, lock the door manually and hit the remote. If the car beeps and locks the doors, then the door you locked manually is probably in need of a door actuator. Peep the DIY sticky and look for "Door Actuator"....
The battery can have little to no charge left and the light will still blink red. Do you really think all four door actuators will go out all at once 
Besides, he would have way more issues to tell us if it was the actuators.

Well I believe I have a problem with the actuators. The work when they want to work. I've noticed that when I lock the door, sometimes the passenger door wont lock. It doesen't happen all the time. It seems to have a mind of it's own. Sometimes it works perfectly and sometimes when I use the lock switch, it wont unlock the door or lock it I have to reach over and manually unlock it.
