SMart key gone dumb
The key presently will only remotely open and close the rear doors and trunk.
The front doors do not react to the remote and I'm forced to manually use the key to open the door.
Any ideas?
Thanks

sounds like a bad door actuator....common problem on my side of the boards in the 2nd gen gs section we even have a DIY on how to fix ours, yours should be similar try searching for it
It's not the battery if two doors open. You'd think battery if nothing happened when you hit the button.
Do the doors lock with the remote,or do you have to do that manually as well?
both front actuators going at the same time is possible,but unlikely. All four doors do the same amount of locking and unlocking,so it is possible that they would all fail at the same time,or close to each other.
I'd check those first,and then move on to the body control module. It's possible that part of it is burnt out and not sending the unlock signal to the front.

Just checking in, I'm having the same issue, the rears unlock and lock from the fob, but the fronts do nothing. Trunk also works fine. The car makes the chirp, the fob lights up, everything--just no action on the front doors. I've tried to hear for the clicking noises up front, but it's hard to distinguish between the front & rear. Is there a chance it's a programming issue?
