Default Locking Help!

So here is the story,

recently I came home, got out of my car and clicked the lock button on my remote. the car flashed and made a beep noise acknowledging the lock. I went back in a bit to the car and i forgot i pulled the handle and it happened to be unlocked even though i locked it... The alarm started going off, i got the alarm to stop and now even the button right by the door handle on the drivers side doesn't unlock any doors so to unlock a door i have to pull the handle and to lock I have to push the lock in... And to add to the problems i went to the gas station to fill up and my gas cap is locked shut.. It's a gas cap that you push the right side and it lifts the left side up. but it's locked! so i can't fill up! so I am going to the audi dealer tomorrow to get it looked at... anyway I can open it??

I was thinking about that, i was just scared of breaking something! I have to get my CV Joints fixed anyway so I think I'll just go to the dealer tomorrow to get it all done at once.

but i might have to knife it to get enough gas to get down there

^lol. Yeah sounds like your central vac pump is acting up. can you hear it when you push the lock button on the remote or in the car?
