    I have replaced the batteries in both of my remotes. Both remote works intermittently. I've found that if the remote isn't working, I can get it to respond by pushing the buttons on the remote. But would like to resolve the problem. Any suggestions?

    does this happen only on the driver's door? you should try other doors when this occurs

    Can you rephrase that, just not understanding. Do you mean, for example, you can't unlock by just touching the door handles, have to use the remote? Or, the buttons are problematic, you have to push them extra hard?
