Door lock problem

[drjay9051]

2009 Genesis sedan. Changed out battery in the key fob.

No problem unlocking with remote or start up. Problem is as follows:

I cannot unlock doors by pushing the button on the door handle. I can lock and unlock from inside but cannot enter unless I use remote.

Manual was of no help. I tried the setting section in the DIS but no help either.

Any idea as to how I "reset" the lock/unlock button ?

Thanks

Can you lock the doors using the door handle and can you unlock the trunk with the trunk button?

Trunk not a problem. I can use remote,switch on driver door or button located under edge of trunk on right side.

I cannot get the door handle to lock or unlock from the outside. The inside control is fine.

I suppose I could live with it but curious if it is a defect or a simple reset issue?

If defect covered by warranty? I did find a short thread related to bad door lock but not much help and certainly no fix was suggested.

I'll venture to say that if the passenger door button locks/unlocks the car, then you have a bad driver's door button. I suppose you could force a complete reboot by disconnecting the battery for a time to ensure it's not something really odd, but switches do go bad and all the more when used very frequently.

did you find a solution to the button not unlocking/locking?
