Last night my remote would not unlock the car. My wife brought the second key unit from home, that would not work either. Additionally, both mechanical keys would not unlock the car door. Called AAA, they got into the car with a device that tugged on the inside door handle. As soon as the door opened, the remotes both work fine. However. the mechanical keyes still fail. to unlock the door.

Strange, I posted previous message, but it shaws a different user name. Super strange.

Sounds like a frozen/stuck tumbler preventing the mechanical key from working. If the key turns in the lock and the door does not unlock, I suspect that the connector rod from the door handle to the box inside the door is not connected properly.

Did I mention that I dislike remotes? And that bogus 'key'.
