What also boggles me is that PAAK works on bluetooth and it needs to be very close for it to work. However, I can open the frunk or tailgate with my phone from about 50 feet away, which is also bluetooth. 🤷🏼‍♂️
Working as designed. The phone or fob must be within 3 feet of the door. This is to prevent some stranger from accessing your vehicle in the parking lot while you are in a nearby store (for example).

This is from the Mach-E manual, but the Lightning is the same.

Did you ever get this totally resolved? I’m dealing with the exact same issue with my 23 Lariat. Out of the blue driver’s side front and rear doors handles will not lock or unlock. Just started a few days ago. Passenger side is fine. PAAK still works to start and drive the truck. I’m at a loss for why all of the sudden this happened. Hadn’t had an issue since I bought it last spring and now it’s acting weird.
This issue has reappeared for me. PAAK works on the passengers side but not on both drivers side doors. Unlock function in the app works and touch lock/unlock works on all doors with the fob. So a software issue has reappeared unfortunately. I also have a software glitch with ‘my key’ which requires GWM updates at the dealer. I just don’t have time to give up the truck. DCDC,BECM,ACM,GFM2,APIM were all recently updated by the dealer in a troubleshooting exercise which most likely reintroduced the issue.
