  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

When using the key fob to lock the doors, the car no longer makes the beeping sound, the turn signal lights don't blink, and all the doors lock except the drivers door. The sideview mirrors will fold in but no beep and no lock for the drivers door. When unlocking the car with the key fob everything is normal all the beeps and all the lights light up. Any help will be appreciated.

Does the door lock if you use the button inside or when you put it in gear if that is your setting? If it works otherwise, I have no idea. If it does not lock at all, I'd suspect the actuator in the door.

It wont lock if I use the button inside, but if I manually lock with my hand It will unlock using the button but a strange noise is coming from the door while it unlocks

I;d check the actuator first. It may be dead or sticking.
 
Yep, it's a bad lock solenoid/actuator. Had one fail on my '09 (rear pass) and replaced under warranty back then.
 
Thanks guys. The dealership says its the actuator.
Will the actuator cause the lights not to blink when locking the doors from the key fob?

yes because computer detects the door isn't locking..

+1 exactly. Same thing happens if the trunk or hood is ajar. The anti-theft logic is telling you that it did not arm.
