My car door used to not lock with the key in the ignition. I locked my keys in the car yesterday (scary how easy it is to break into these cars), they were in the ignition and realized that something must have broken when I got back in and tested it out.
Anyone deal with this before, know how to fix it?

When you have the key in the ignition with the door open, do you hear the beeping key reminder chime as usual?
 
On my 3G I can not lock myself out. If the key is in the ignition, the door locks do not work. Is it not the same on the 1 and 2G?

Honestly I dont trust the alarm systems on these cars

If equipped there is a factory alarm setting to look the doors after 5 minutes of the keyless lock being used to unlock the car. Its fairly common that if I hit unlock then start working on the car, the car will re lock itself.

I've never NOT had a 2g that would keep itself from locking the keys inside the car. Infact to this day I roll down the window slightly if I know I need to get back in the car, because the alarm will clock itself when im not expecting it.

I dont have the alarm settings process memorized on how to change the settings, you will have to search it
