Q: Can’t lock all the doors using key remote
I feel lucky that nothing got stolen out of my 2008 Chevy Equinox(98k miles) when the driver side door randomly stopped locking with the little remote last week. I didn’t notice until yesterday. Now the passenger door lock is acting up too. This seems like a weird problem to have, what would cause the same problem in multiple doors?
