It happened three times through the past week occasionally, and it never happened before. I push the lock button, the indicator light goes on, but nothing happens.
Played with open/close doors, etc. - and then it suddenly works again. Is that a developing malfunction?
Any suggestion appreciated.
Thanks.

The problem that would be easiest to fix would be replacing the battery-if it is weak, your remote may not have enough signal strength to close the comm link (sorry, I'm a satellite engineer and slid into comm-speak). Next I would suspect the buttons in the remote itself. Start with the cheap stuff and work your way up (in cost).

I know for a FACT that if the tailgate isn't closed the car remote will not lock the doors; the red button lights up but the Odyssey just sits there with a dumb look on its face..doing nothing.

This is actually handy as my tailgate sometimes doesn't close and I can catch it right away because the remote won't lock the doors.
