Why can't the central lock of the Buick LaCrosse open other doors?

The reasons why the central lock of the Buick LaCrosse cannot open other doors are: 1. The remote control is out of battery; 2. The car battery is dead, and the remote receiver cannot function; 3. If the key cannot turn, it may be due to rust or foreign objects in the lock cylinder; 4. If the key can turn but still cannot open the door, it may be because the internal lock rod has come loose. The Buick LaCrosse is a new mid-to-high-end sedan launched by SAIC-GM, with body dimensions of 5000mm in length, 1858mm in width, and 1497mm in height. In terms of power, the LaCrosse is equipped with a 3.0L V6 SIDI direct-injection engine, delivering a maximum power of 190kW and a maximum torque of 296Nm, with a standard 6-speed automatic transmission across the entire lineup.
Once when I was driving my LaCrosse, I found the central locking system couldn't unlock other doors. As someone who often repairs my own car, I suspect it's likely either a blown fuse or a faulty door lock module. Check the fuse box under the hood for the fuse corresponding to the central locking system - if it's broken, it needs replacement. If the module is faulty, current won't reach the door actuators, leaving the doors locked. Wiring degradation can also cause short circuits or breaks, especially in older LaCrosse models. I recommend using a multimeter to test circuit continuity, or simply have the dealership scan for error codes with their diagnostic tool. Regularly test the remote to avoid signal issues when the battery weakens after sun exposure. Manual door opening might work temporarily, but don't delay repairs - getting locked inside would be dangerous. Never take driving safety lightly; fixing this early is safer since the central locking system is crucial for vehicle convenience.
