I have a 96 buick century. The remote won't unlock the doors and neither will the key. It stopped working all of a sudden. What could be the problem? I replaced the battery in the remote and tried using the spare remote and key. Nothing worked. Help, I'm locked out!

If you can't unloc any door, get a tow guy out to unlock you.
You need to take off the door pad and get to the lock mechinisims inside and lube the crap out of them. It's also possible that your switch inside is stuck to "lock". If it is, it can be hard for you to unlock with key. If that's the case, you can wait for the battery to die and try again. Make sure you clean all the contacts at the controll switches inside the door.
