Hit the remote to lock unlock and only driver door responds correctly; the other three just make a funny ditzy noise and dont move. Manual operation is fine. And ALSO backup lights dont come on bulbs are good.

For the back up lights you will see on the top of the shift tower the back up light switch unplug it. Then turn the key to the run position. Then put the transmission in reverse. Then jump the connector to the back up light switch. If the back up lights on then you have a bad back up light switch. Also see if the drivers side door lock switch spring is broken and the switch won't keep itself centered?

I wonder if I somehow messed with wiring to switch when I fixd shifter bushing? I will check door switch but I know it gets rarely used. Fob is used instead. I looked on net and couldnt find my exact issue with drivers door lock working while the rest just fizzle using fob. Car is out of town so gotta catch the wifey when she feels like tryin ta help!
