Takes three presses of the unlock button on my key to unlock all doors, when
it shuld be two pushes. A while ago, the battery went dead on the car.
Could it be something to do with that happening..?

How many presses to just open the drivers lock?

Sounds like weak battery, or dirt inside (1st press clears enough to make
contact so that 2nd and 3rd press register).

Thanks, I'll check that out. Car is four years old, so the battery could be
going south by now...

I have 05 Pilot noticed on occasion it takes an extra push to actuate
the locks. Its not every time though. To me its not a bother but I can
see where you may have issue. Sorry cant really help you.

Yeah, I'm beginning to notice that's it's not every time here either. The OP
who suggested a weak battery may be onto something.

If you have a second remote, try it to see if it behaves the same way. That
way, you can determine if it's the first remote that's the culprit or not.
