I had an issue with my key sticking... I changed out the ignition (place where you put the key) and drivers door handle so I can use the same cut key.

I now can't unlock and lock all the doors with the key fob (still activates the alarm). If I press the button.. arming the system and open any of the doors the horn goes off. My issues is that I need to physically lock each door by pressing the lock down or unlock from the inside.

Note: I can also put the key in the drivers door and lock that door and arm the system.

Do I need to get the car programmed to the new ignition at the dealer?

Or do I have 5 bad door locking actuators??

Thanks

Take your remote keys apart. Install the guts from your old one into the "new" one. Now your new key is programmed.
