They lock and unlock using the lock switch inside the car.

Most of the time the button on the remove goes bad. I would try a new one first. here are the wiring diagrams for the locks so you can see how the system works, also we can do a CAN scan to see if the BCM is bad which can cause this problem as well. You can get a CAN scanner (Controller Area Network) which will work on most cars from Amazon.

here is a video to show you how:

Here is a link to a new remote which you can program:

Here is how to change the BCM out as well in case you need it, you can get a preprogrammed unit by searching Google or Ebay. Check out the images (below). Please let us know how it goes.
