Hey,
The key remote on my 2000 VT will open the boot but none of the doors.
The key won't turn in the lock in drivers side door.
The battery is showing 12.45 volts.
Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks
Sam

did this used to work or since you have owned car
first guess would be loom to drivers door
if you hold unlock down do other doors unlock

They key in the door lock requires quite a bit of force to turn especially if it is rarely unlocked with the key.

If you have one working key I can highly recommend MAP replacements. You only need the working key to unlock the car once before you program a new one. It writes from the bcm not the key

I got the programming odbc unit (does 3 keys) 3 heads and 3 new blades cut. For under $300 I had 3 new keys that have been working great for a couple of years now
