    So I cant remotely lock and unlock my truck doors. I need to use my key to manually do it.

    My car battery doesn't have problems or my key remote battery isn't dead. I even used my spare to confirm if one remote wasn't working.

    Is there any troubleshoot I can try before taking it to a shop to diagnose it?
    I don't have any electrical problems beside the remote wont lock/unlock and setoff the panic button

    Your avatar says 2021. Is that correct. How many miles. Where do you live. Might be time for an engine battery already depending on answer to post #2.

    I have 13466 miles in it but my car battery doesn't show signs that need replacing
    No struggle in starting up and the volt is above 12V

    That include the control system connected to the battery for my auxiliary lights and dashcam that is hardwire to the acc fuse?

    After that do I just test the remote or start up the truck before that?
