SOURCE: new battery, can't reset alarm

remove the alarm,their might be a passive switch on the alarm to turn it off with a special key,if you dont have the key break the lock so you can turn it off or try to open case of alarm and look at wires and then dertimine which ones to join or break,every alarm inside is different so you will have to work it out.

SOURCE: change battery on 99 galant

usually all you need to do is hold the lock and unlock buttons at the same time for about 8-10 seconds will pointing at the car.

SOURCE: The Diver side power door lock does not work,

needs a new door lock actuator usally built into the door latch

SOURCE: my keyless remote doesn't work

before you spend too much money...try this.
On the inside of the keyless remotes, there are rubber buttons, those rubbers buttons are brushed with metal of some sort so that it reacts with the motherboard, when the remotes get older this metal wears off...so try this, it worked for me...
I superglued foil paper to the back of the button (the parts that touches the motherboard when pressed) and replaced the batteries... it worked like a charm, I used an awl and a hammer to make perfectly round piece of foil and just glued it onto the back of the button... i'd try this first before spending any real money.

SOURCE: Driver side door locking with remote but will not unlock.

it is not the actuators, try a different remote, you may have an issue with the car security system/body computer not functioning on the unlock driver door command, one press of remote is unlock driver door and 2 presses is unlock the other doors.
