Sorry if this has been posted, but I haven't found a similar problem.

Ok, I just installed V-Leds LED bulbs on all the interior and license plate lights. All the LED bulbs work fine and properly. But for some reason when I try to unlock the car from the truck door keyless entry button, it doesn't work. I use the FOB Key from the rear and still no response. The keyless buton on the trunk and the FOB works only when the interior lights go off. So, I'm thinking the LEDS are drawing more power than suppose to? Anyone having similar problems? Is there a way to fix this little annoying problem?

LEDs draw less power, not more. Did you install any resistors or was this a straight drop in? try taking it all out and putting it back to stock, also have you tried changing the battery in your remote?

I've swapped out my map lights, dome lights, license plate lights, back-up lights, and front turn signals with V-LED's LED's. Haven't had any such problem. Didn't install resistors anywhere but the turn signals where they're required.
That is very strange though...I have no clue why that's happening.

Yea, I can't figure it out either.

I figured LED should draw less power. I didn't install any resistors. I'm thinking about just having them turned off and testing it to see if it works normally. The battery should be fine since the car is only 2 1/2 months old.

I have no idea why the LED's may have caused this. Try swapping your old bulbs in (one at a time) and see if the problem disappears.
