Why is the lock button not working on my Pontiac?
Since you say the trunk button works, and I bet the lock button works as well, this is a pretty good indication the unlock button doesn’t want to play anymore. As an intermediate step before replacing the clam shell, you can clean the contacts (rubber button side and electronics portion) with some rubbing alcohol and a Q-Tip type swab.
Where is the key for unlocking the car door?
Vehicles have a physical key for locking and unlocking the door. If you close and open your car door with the smart fob, this key is likely to be hidden inside the fob. There should be a release button or catch in the remote, pressing which will pop out the spare key. But some vehicles may not have a visible keyhole. Don’t worry.

Why is my Remote key not working to unlock my doors?
My remote key isn’t working to unlock my doors sometimes, but it always opens my trunk easily when I press it. Sometimes I have to press the unlock button over and over to open the doors, sometimes it never works, or sometimes it works the first time. I don’t know what to do to fix it. It sounds to me like the fob contacts are giving up the ghost.
