Yup, very familiar with the 'reach over to unlock passenger door' routine... and then asking the passenger "hey could you hit the lock on the way out?"

4 year update: They started acting up on me about 6 months ago but I haven't bothered fixing, I'm sure it'd be easy to fix. Right now I have to use my key but the passenger side still follows the driver's side so it's convenient enough. Unlock driver door with key and passenger opens too. Lock driver door and both lock.

I miss just hitting the key fob, added to my laundry list of thanksgiving break fixes


Edit: Upon review of my original writeup, it's so obvious that 16 year old me wrote it

do you think the wiring is the culprit or the actuators?

No idea, I'm guessing some wires down by my footwell got disconnected or something. Worst case it's like 30 bucks for another kit on ebay
