So for over a year I've been using the Ford remote access iPhone app to open, close, start and alarm my 2013 Explorer Sport - no issues. In the past few days the lock and unlock functions have stopped working - sort of. At this time the Remote Start and Find from the app still work fine. What I see is:
1) Both lock and unlock appear to work from the app (icons flash green in app indicating success) and flash the car lights. Physical locks don't move.
2) If car is unlocked, pressing lock twice chirps the horn. Physical locks don't move.
3) After pressing lock (even if car doesn't physically lock) alarm is armed and alerts as appropriate.
Bottom line is that at no time do the actual locks move when using the app. The key fob lock / unlock works fine and so do the buttons inside the car. Any clues as to what might have died?
