before going to repair shop, sit in car and use fingers to try to move physical door part to lock and unlock. if moving freely, use fob lock and unlock driver's door.. if other doors will lock and unlock with fob then your door panel will have to come off. share your results with your mechanic.
This sounds like the antitheft system is on, use key and go to driver door, shut the door then use the key to lock and then unlock the door, then try to start the car, by unlocking the door with the key will shut alarm down, if this doesnt work then go to passenger door and do the same thing, let me know how it goes, good day.
sounds like you have a security problem, (antitheft) , when it acts up take the key and put it in the outside door lock switch with the door shut and window down and lock and unlock the drivers door with the key,it should quit, if not try locking and unlocking car with key fob(remote lock,unlock switch on key chain), if that dont work , you have further prob. with security system and take it to a shop. if it quits with the key process and then comes back on , the sensitivity might be to high. does the horn go off with the lights?
the anti theft is working! try manually locking your doors,then wait 15 minutes,unlock the doors with key, the last door you should lock is drivers. lock all doors from inside but drivers, when you shut drivers door,lock it from outside with the key.leave it alone for about 15 minutes please! when you unlock it with the key, if the alarm goes off, disconnect the battery for 10mins. then start over,just remember to lock the driverside door from outside this time with the key!!!
Hook up the battery, then put your key in the door lock and lock and unlock the door. That should cancel the antitheft. If it doesnt work on the drivers side move to the pass. side door.
jimmy: it sounds like the drivers door unlock tamper switch or the other switch may have failed. One side can affect the other under certain circumstances. Your trunk lock also has a switch which arms and disarms the antitheft system. Try locking all the doors, make sure the hood and trunk lid are closed and then open the trunk. Leave it open open the drivers door and try to start the car.
If it's a no start. Disconnect the ground battery cable then put the ignition key in the run position in you ignition switch. Reconnect the battery and try to start the car. It should start. This usually will override the anti theft system. One issue with this will be, whether the antitheft system will remain disarmed.
Although I have never tried this before, I know that the system will not arm unless all the doors, trunk and the hood are closed.
I could suggest this to try if the car starts as I had told you pertaining to disconnecting the battery cable, I would take the switch and unbolt it from the passenger's side of the engine compartment just forward of the shock tower. Just let it sit somewhere so it doesn't get caught up in anything moving. If there is a light under the hood of your car, remove the bulb.
Let me know how you make out.
