Default Key Fob Mystery

So my key fob for some reason stopped locking my doors. It unlocks the doors no problem. I tried to reprogram the fob but it still doesn't lock the door. I'm lost at this point. Any ideas?

I did. I have 3 fobs. My key holes were punched so I have one stashed under the truck and a spare in the house. Same thing on all 3, really weird.

Do the locks work from the switch ?

Perfectly...

That's how I'm locking the truck right now, with the switch. Then I use the fob to unlock it. It's not the end of the world but strange to me why one works but not the other with the fob.

If the door locks work from the switches and only one way on the FOB, then your signal box is not reading one side of the signal. You may have to replace the box and reset your FOBs afterwards to the replacement box.
