So today I noticed I couldn't unlock my Ranger by holding the door handles (except for the Driver Door). I also couldn't Lock it by touching the lock area on any door handle other than the Driver Door. Thought it might be a low battery but no difference when i put in a new battery. Tried it with my alternate key and still no joy! The Remote does Lock and unlock the doors as usual, and I have it set for First Press unlocks Driver door only. A second press unlocks the rest.

Changed the battery and this issue went away!
I'm assuming you mean the battery in the fob? Not the truck battery, right?

Nope! The Fob battery I changed first just in case. It was the REAL Battery. Only the Driver door handle worked to lock and unlock by touch. Afterword all handles worked again. I actually changed it because Auto Stop/Start had stopped working because of the constant charging required by the low battery.

Gotcha - one thing I've learned - newer vehicles with all the elecronics NEED a good battery to function properly.

Thanks for sharing. I'm having that problem as well. Guess I'll have to get a new battery for the truck since the other fob that I never use won't work either.
