    SORRY? No one else has identified this as the issue. Can you say more?

    It’s the 9th response to the OP. This MESO stuff didn’t come in until later pages.

    From that linked thread:

    I had replaced my driver’s side map light. That was the culprit. Works fine after I changed it back.

    I saw that. For most of us, it seemed to happen after we added Mesos 3rd break light, even if we had his LED maps/dome lights installed before.

    I may try this now just for grins and see if it helps, as i use the map lights very seldom.

    Thanks.

    I don't have the brake light or maps... for me it was the turn signal upgrade.. I will remove it to test later during the week.

    I had searched a number of threads hoping to find an answer, so maybe yours wasn’t the most applicable to include my solution. My map/dome lights are toggled on when the doors are opened. If the key fob or door handle has trouble locking/unlocking up to the point the lights turn off on their own with the door closed, I’d say it’s likely one or all of the bulbs are the problem.

    I hope you find your solution one way or another. I know how frustrating it is.

    Not liking this. My key fob just started randomly stored working. I thought it was because I was having the fob and my samsung in the same pocket. Now, with the MESO V4's turn signals set to be delivered this Wednesday, and they might also cause this. However, I still stand behind my phone causing interference. Really want these turn signals.

    Many thanks to LA stu, your suggestion regarding LED lights was right on for me. Replaced the 2 front cabin and 1 rear cabin bulbs with "superbrightleds". Don't know when it started but the touch-to-lock and fob function became very hit and miss. Unlock was OK but while the dome light was on after getting out, locking was intermittent and troublesome. Put the Factory bulbs back in the front map lights and the locks are now working perfectly.
    THANNKS!!
