She doesn't like my mittens

Pearl has no trouble with my heavy leather gloves. It's a capacitance sensor, so you may have to wrap your fingers under the handle.

 

I have had problems before. As the previous poster stated, the front door sensors are capacitive. It is possible to have too much dielectric for the sensors to work, or in other words, your knitting may be too thick.

Just throw a brick through the window ... show Fiona who's boss.

 

Lol. I like your style.

 

Bar none - my favorite post in weeks.

 

Try sticking your tongue behind the handle.

 

Did you try just pushing the little black button? That ought to work, but will unlock all of the doors rather than just the driver's.

 

Pushing the black button locks all of the doors, not 'unlocks' them.

 

Maybe you have to PULL on the little black button to unlock the doors. I think you should give it a try. <evil grin>

If I use my Wind River Thinsulite leather gloves, which are somewhat thin, the touch sensor works around 50% of the time. If I use my thick gloves, no way.

Of course, bare fingers will always work. Let's see, temp of -25 C, windchill of -38 C. Nope, I'll use the fob instead

Don't forget to give the driver door lock cylinder a good spritz with lock lubricant. In normal use they never get used, so if the smart entry or your fob should happen to die in the cold, you may find the lock cylinder very stiff from corrosion

 

You could certainly pull on the little black button if you stick your tongue on it. This method would work at least once.

 

i have had similiar issues... not often though... maybe 1 in 4 attempts to open the door... i just move my hand a little and it works... to cold to take of my mittens

 

Yeah! Try it! We double-dog dare you!
