Default power door locks not always workin

so guys i am running out to my truck during a heavy raining down pour, i hit the key fob and the doors don't unlock. i am now a drowned rat hitting the button for about 25 second and finally the doors unlock. i was not pleased with this as like many others i payed a lot for my 09 ram trx cc. has any one else had this problem?

the good part is it never seems to happen unless it IS raining or there is a large group around your truck checking it out!

I have somewhat of the same problem. I dont have the key fob but when i go to push the lock button on the inside of my door sometimes it takes several times to make it lock. I went to the dealer to complain they looked at it and it worked fine. They said they cant fix something unless they see it not working. It doesnt do it everytime, but enough to **** me off.

I also have the ST trim without a key fob and the same thing happens to me. It's intermitent and cannot be replicated on demand, which is why I haven't taken it to the dealer because if they can't replicate the problem they aren't going to fix it.

Yea Ihave this issue occasionally. Only when unlocking, not locking. Doesnt have to be raining for mine to act up. So now all i do is press the unlock 4-5 times in a row to maybe trick it into unlocking. lol. hant found a fix action but im hopeing to get to the dealer this weekend

I've had this problem since I purchased my truck and had the antenna changed along with the module. It still does it all the time. It mostly happens on short stops. Never had a problem unlocking the truck in the mornings.

Hey. I work at a dodge dealership. An RRT was just released for this issue. Should be getting a notice in the mail to reprogram the module.
