I think it probably was on recondition from the last battery. I'll get that changed

That's not a normal procedure Martin so it's perhaps not surprising that you're getting unexpected results. Either use the key blade manually and withdraw it from the lock before operating any handles or use the remote control buttons but not both!

I wish I could. The key will only withdraw in locked position. In unlocked it seems trapped. If I lock and remove the key, the interior handle doesn't work. Interior handle works only with the key in the lock. Very odd.
If I unlock with the key, the key remains trapped in the barrel. The door opens and closes normally with a trapped key, but fails to open the door with the key out.

Can you locate any electrical connector to the driver's door actuator and try re-seating it? On the face of it, it sounds like a high resistance connection.

I can see the connector and plan to remove and re-seat. I'll report back later.
