Odd Issue With 2016 GMC Sierra Doors Not Locking/Unlocking

[kanewtz]

HI All,

 

Lately I have experienced an odd issue with my 2016 GMC Sierra.

 

It will not allow me to lock or unlock the doors via the keyfob (yes the batteries are good).

I go to open the driver's door manually via the key and use the switch on the door and when I press either lock or unlock, I get NOTHING....no sounds, no doors unlocking, nothing.

 

Once again, try the key fob(s) and nothing.

I start the truck, drive away and about 2-3 minute of driving, when I try the door controls, low and behold, they work again.

Has anyone else ever experienced this?

 

I figured I'd ask here before calling my dealer to schedule an appointment.

 

Let me know if you need more context, but I think it is pretty clear.

 

Cheers!

Do the locks auto lock once you put it in gear and start driving or does that not work either

But would that happen with BOTH key fobs?

 

The issue is present no matter which key fob I use.

Have you tested battery on truck? Test batteries of both key fobs? The transmitter doesn't use much battery so they would probably die at equal times due to age.

No, they do not.
