Re: Key won't open drivers door!
First thing is to try passenger door (that still has key lock for '03, doesn't it?) Or the rear hatch. I'll bet it won't work there, either, unless battery is disconnected. My guess is that the remote locking is staying at "lock" - which is why it works with battery disconnected.
I haven't heard of anything just like your problem, but there have been many who have to replace the RKEM (Remote Keyless Entry Module) - it's behind the radio. Usually the doors start to lock & unlock by themselves.
My $.02, either replace the RKEM, or live with it. You MAY want to consider a remote battery cut-out so that if the RKEM dies totally and won't let you in, you could switch off the battery and use the key.
