Customer Complaint

All doors dead-locked except the driver's door.

The only way in is through the driver's door using the key manually.

Problem Summary

The driver's door only unlocks with the key.

Central locking was not working in the unlock position.

The driver's door will lock with remotes and the other door locks could be heard moving in the lock only.

When pressing the lock function on the remote the blinkers flash once and you can hear the other door actuators and the driver's door locks.

When trying to use the remote to unlock, the blinker flashes twice and that is all.
