I just bought a 98 Sable and the ignition key used to unlock all the doors and the trunk. Now, all of a sudden, the key won't unlock the passenger door or trunk. I can still open the trunk using the button inside the car, and if I use the central locking from the driver door to unlock the car, the passenger door does unlock, just not when I try it with the key.

Am I missing something?
