[QUOTE="Adam Smith, post: 1042949, member: 59024"] Stuck at the beach this morning, door wouldn't unlock; keys, wallet, cellphone, insurance card, slim jim all locked inside. Luckily Lifeguards looked up roadside assistance # for my insurance co. and let me use their phone. While waiting for tow truck, I kept trying, and after about 40 - 50 attempts it opened. Same thing happened ~3 years ago, then resolved by itself. I've now taped a spare key to the bed extender behind the tailgate (which I should have done last time). Now it seems to work but only after 2 - 3 attempts. I followed directions from the manual to reset the factory code (so I would be able to use never-used buttons) but the new code won't set. I just washed my truck yesterday, could a drop of water have shorted it out? I assume that if it was a [I]broken[/I] wire, it wouldn't have self-resolved, either this time, or last time. And when I was trying to get in for 15 minutes in the beginning of the event this morning, if I simultaneously pressed the 7-8 and 9-0 buttons, it [B]Always[/B] worked, audibly locking all doors (they were already locked, but it was clearly trying). The 7-8 and 9-0 button combo continues to works fine to lock all doors. Any ideas? Thank you. [/QUOTE]
