I have a good idea, but I'd like other opinions.

I have shaved door handels so I have the electric door poppers. All it is is a electromagnet. 12V + and a ground connection. So when I hit a button on my alarm, it sends a small signal to my 5 pin relay which triggers 12V's to the door which in turns hauls the magnet which hauls the cable which is connected to the handel. So the handel actually moves (Like a ghost opening the door )

Still with me?

When I took car out of storage, I put a new alternator in and a new battery. Nothing special. Normal Canadian Tire battery. Door popped on the first click of the button for weeks.

Then, it took 2 hits of the button. Meaning, the first one triggered the popper, moved the handel, but not 100%, like 95% of the way. BUt the second time, it opened.

Now, it is taking 2 times, up to 7 even, or not at all. Than handel is getting pulled, but not that 100%. When I do get in the car and start it up, I hit the button, and it goes first click.

My guess is my battery just doesn't cut it all the time.

Common, help a burdder out

check the slack in the cable...over time shyt like that stretches so it might need an adjustment
other than that make sure the ground is good

well if once you start it, it gives you full juice with one click I would say try an optima red top battery
